ALS signed “Broward,” four pages on two adjoining sheets, 8 x 9.75, June 19, 1865. Letter written to his father making mention of Ford’s Theater. In part: “The ‘Young Mens Christian Association’ have taken a large job upon their shoulders. They have…contracted for ‘Ford’s Theatre’ here—the place in which Lincoln was assassinated…for a grand headquarters for their religious work…truly every loyal will give something for this, for that spot will ever have a memory & which Americans will cherish with feelings too deep to allow it to be again desecrated by the performance of the actor. The last tragedy enacted within the walls of the old ‘Ford’s Theatre has taken away the ‘hope of gains from the owners.’” In very good condition, with intersecting folds, scattered toning, heavier to last page, and some light creasing and wrinkling.
