‎1863. "A. Lincoln" in black ink Washington DC May 12 1863 being 7 lines on the verso of the second leaf of an autograph letter to Lincoln from Robert Chester Buffalo May 9 1863 2 pages; 7 7/8" x 12 3/4" on a bifolium of blue-ruled paper neatly reinforced at folds. Lincoln deals with an officer seeking "An Honorable Discharge & to Avoid a Dishonorable One." Robert Chester who identifies himself as "late Capt. 17th Infantry US Army" petitions the President: "I would most respectfully request a suspension of Special Orders No. 201 Extract 4 by which I am dismissed the service of the United States. The reasons for such request are that my case has not been properly submitted to Your Excellency. I would respectfully ask that the order my be suspended until a Court of Inquiry or Court Martial; can be convened when I may have the opportunity to defend myself." Chester's appeal is joined by ten other prominent citizens of Buffalo including her postmaster one the justices of the city's Superior Court and three Union officers hailing from the Bison City. Lincoln forwarded Chester's petition to Judge Advocate General Joseph Holt directing him to "please examine & report on this case. The officer only seeks an honorable discharge & to avoid a dishonorable one." Nothing further on the case is recorded and Holt - influenced perhaps by the President's none-too-subtle insinuation - evidently found no merit to Chester's claim.

‎Washington D.C.: Executive Mansion 1863. Small Octavo. 4 page folded pamphlet issued to military. The large number of desertions in the Civil War was becoming epidemic. Previously they might go home to bring in a harvest to visit a wife or girl friend or simply be tired of either war or what often seemed like endless waiting for something to happen. This offered soldiers amnesty if they returned before April 1 1863. Their only penalty would be the forfeiture of pay and allowances during their absence. After that date they will be arrested as "deserters and punished as the law provides." Pages 2-3 lists 36 places where they can report.

‎First Philadelphia Printing of the Gettysburg Address‎

‎Abraham Lincoln. "The Gettysburg Address" contained in "Report of the Select Committee Relative to the Soldiers' National Cemetery Together with the Accompanying Documents as reported to the House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania March 31 1864." Harrisburg: Singerly & Myers State Printers 1864. Lincoln's famous speech was originally delivered at the Dedication of the Soldiers' National Cemetery in Gettysburg; this early volume following shortly after that dedication records the events of the day details of the cemetery and the soldiers interred there and the original text of the Gettysburg Address. <br/><br/>The Gettysburg Address is a speech that U.S. President Abraham Lincoln delivered during the American Civil War at the dedication of the Soldiers' National Cemetery in Gettysburg Pennsylvania on the afternoon of Thursday November 19 1863 four and a half months after the Union armies defeated those of the Confederacy at the Battle of Gettysburg. It is one of the best-known speeches in American history. This is the first Pennsylvania printing of the Address. It occupies the second unnumbered page of this volume on the recent consecration of the Soldier's National Cemetary near the end. Included also in the Report is material on the creation of the cemetery with statistical data names of the soldiers buried there and the program at the dedicatory ceremonies including the benedictions and the oration of the featured speaker Edward Everett. Wills's study of the Address discusses its textual variations and the surprising difficulty in determining precisely what Lincoln said. As printed here it tracks what Wills has identified as the likely text spoken by Lincoln; but differs in several respects from the 'final version' for example the omission of 'poor' in 'our poor power to add or detract.' In fair condition. Foxed frequent margin spotting. Original cloth worn at spine and extremities of boards with cardboard below cloth revealed. One full-page map of the battlefield and hospitals; one folding map of the cemetery grounds. unknown books‎

Single leaf 5 1/4 x 7 1/8 inches possibly originally issued with two leaves the second being blank. 1.5 pages of text signed in print by Lincoln William Seward and E.D. Townsend. Faint folding creases; near fine. Issued March 11 1865 this was the second of two general amnesties issued by the President during the Civil War. These proclamations were intended to bring deserters and draft evaders back into the fold and encourage loyalty to the Union. The first issued on March 10 1863 gave all deserters a full pardon with no consequences if they returned to their units by April 1. Those who did not would have their citizenship revoked and were subject to court-martial with penalties as severe as death. This second proclamation offered the same basic terms but allowed deserters 60 days to return to duty. War Department, Adjutant General's Office unknown books‎

Moore's Rural New Yorker For The Week Ending Saturday May 26 1860 Rochester N.Y. In part: ".The resolutions were adopted and on motion the Convention proceeded to ballot for a candidate for President of the United States. Various individuals were put in nomination and the vote resulted as follows:. FIRST BALLOT Seward - 173 1/2 Lincoln - 102. . .Not having effected a choice another and the final ballot was taken when Abraham Lincoln of Illinois received 2311/2 votes or within 11/2 of the nomination. Mr. Andrews of Mass. rose and corrected Massachusetts by changing four votes and giving them to Lincoln thus nominating Lincoln by 21/2 majority."

‎LINCOLN'S TREATMENT OF GEN. GRANT‎

‎New York: Sold at 13 Park Row and at all Democratic Newspaper Offices 1864. 8pp caption title disbound a bit of blank margin wear Good. At head of title: 'Document No. 12.' <br/><br/> This Democratic Party campaign pamphlet portrays President Lincoln as an incompetent military strategist who perpetually "interfered with General McClellan both when he was general-in-chief and afterward when he commanded the brave Army of the Potomac." Worse Lincoln has "The Taint of Disunion." He not McClellan the Democratic presidential candidate supported the Jeffersonian right of revolution in a speech during his single term in Congress. He and other "ultra abolitionists" are the "original secessionists and disunion men." <br/> George McClellan wants the rebel States to return to the Union but Lincoln's policies render that impossible. Lincoln "regards the States as dead and gone. He magnifies and strengthens the position of the Richmond dynasty" by seeking to negotiate "only with Jefferson Davis." <br/>Monaghan 326. Not in LCP.

‎OBSEQUIES OF PRESIDENT LINCOLN. ORDER OF FUNERAL PROCESSION caption title‎

‎N.p. but almost certainly Springfield Il 1865. Broadside 12 x 9 inches. Printed in three columns edged with a printed black border. Old folds center vertical fold with some separation. Moderate staining. Still very good. Framed. Likely a proof copy of the exceedingly rare broadside announcing the funeral procession for President Abraham Lincoln in Springfield in early May 1865. Struck down by assassin John Wilkes Booth on April 15 1865 Lincoln's body lay in state in the White House on April 18 and a ceremonial funeral service took place in Washington D.C. around noon on April 19. Two days later President Lincoln's casket was loaded on a funeral train headed for Springfield Illinois stopping at Baltimore Harrisburg Philadelphia New York City Albany Buffalo Cleveland Columbus Indianapolis Michigan City and Chicago before arriving in Lincoln's adopted hometown early on the morning of May 3. At this time Springfield's population numbered around 15000 but Lincoln's funeral train pulled into a town swollen with over 100000 visiting mourners. Immediately upon arrival Lincoln's coffin was transferred by hearse to Representatives' Hall inside the Illinois Old State Capitol. For the next twenty-four hours from about ten o'clock in the morning on May 3 to the same time the next day about 75000 mourners were allowed to pass by the open coffin of the slain president to pay last respects. <br> <br> According to the present broadside President Lincoln's funeral procession left the Old State Capitol "on Thursday the 4th Inst. at 10 o'clock a.m. precisely." The funeral party of over 10000 people then turned right on 7th Street to pass by the Lincoln family home and then right up Cook Street to proceed past the Governor's Mansion before heading north to Oak Ridge Cemetery. <br> <br> This broadside printing of the order of the procession for Lincoln's Springfield funeral was probably printed the afternoon of May 3 or possibly even the morning of May 4 the day of the funeral. Surrounded by a heavy black band the broadside lists all the persons and units involved in the procession along with their places and the rules for the day. The entire procession was divided into eight divisions with Gen. Joseph Hooker acting as Marshal in Chief. The first three divisions of the military escort represented all the elements of the Army and Navy. After them came the attending clergy and Lincoln's attending physicians. Next was the casket itself the only wheeled vehicle in the procession with the pall bearers to each side followed by Lincoln's horse and then the immediate family. Three more military divisions followed interspersed with government officials ambassadors and state officials followed by delegations from Springfield and other Illinois towns. Next were representatives of various organizations delegations from colleges lawyers doctors and the press Masons Odd Fellows and firemen all interspersed with two more military divisions. The final segment of the funeral procession was designated for "Citizens at large" and "Colored Persons." <br> <br> The broadside gives directions for locations for the forming up of each group. Only marshals were allowed to be on horseback; all others walked. Bands were under the direction of the Committee on Music. Other particular directions follow including regulations for the colors of the various scarves worn by the marshals. The text of the document ends with directions to keep the streets through which the procession passes "clear from sidewalk to sidewalk." <br> <br> This broadside must have been widely distributed to assist the mourners in Springfield but like all such ephemeral pieces few copies have survived. OCLC locates only six at Indiana University the Abraham Lincoln Memorial Library the Boston Athenaeum the Chapin Library at Williams College the John Hay Library at Brown University and the Library Company of Philadelphia. The latter location also attributes the place of printing to Springfield. There is also a copy at the Library of Congress and a copy formerly owned by noted collector James Copley and previously sold by this firm. <br> <br> The present copy is likely an early printer's proof of the broadside as it lacks the first three letters of the word "FUNERAL" in the title. The Library of Congress copy is also likely a proof with its variant title omitting the words "ORDER OF." Both copies also lack the letter "e" in "Order" in the first sentence of text. These errors speak to the haste and stress under which this broadside was surely produced perhaps the day before or the very morning of the day when America's greatest president the Savior of the Union and Illinois' favorite son was laid to rest in a city teeming with seven times its own population in attendance. <br> <br> A remarkable and moving document reflecting a moment of national grief perhaps only approached by the John F. Kennedy funeral and memorializing the day when America's first assassinated president was solemnly committed to the earth. OCLC 5023077 79462381. unknown books‎

‎PRESIDENT LINCOLN'S "LAST PUBLIC ADDRESS" THE EVENING OF 11 APRIL 1865 PRINTED IN THE NEW-YORK TIMES WEDNESDAY APRIL 12 1865‎

‎New York 1865. Elephant Folio. 8pp. Each page printed in six columns. Uncut at top edge. Very Good. A contemporary hand has written in pencil at the top blank margin "His last Proclamation. Keep this Paper."<br/><br/> This was Lincoln's "Last Public Address" Abraham Lincoln Online. This issue of the Times appearing the following day is surely a candidate for its earliest printing. His Speech discloses Lincoln's most recent thoughts on Reconstruction the War having virtually ended by the surrender of Lee's Army at Appomattox Court House on April 9. Reconstruction he says is "fraught with great difficulty. We simply must begin with and mould from disorganized and discordant elements. Nor is it a small additional embarrassment that we the loyal people differ among ourselves as to the mode manner and means of reconstruction."<br/> Lincoln emphasizes his flexibility. He disclaims any intention to insist upon a single comprehensive plan. He makes clear that "the Executive claimed no right to say when or whether members should be admitted to seats in Congress" from the rebellious States. He remarks that he has never pronounced on the interesting legal question "whether the seceding States so called are in the Union or out of it." Such an issue has no practical significance. "We all agree that the seceded States so called are out of their proper relation with the Union; and that the sole object of the government civil and military in regard to those States is to again get them into that proper practical relation." Lincoln will act as circumstances require the only criterion being whether the proposed policy will expedite that "proper practical relation." It is obvious that Lincoln had he lived would have been much more successful than his dogmatic and inflexible successor at guiding Reconstruction.<br/> This issue treats many other issues arising from the War's end including the topic "What shall be done with Jeff.
