‎Typed Letter Signed With Personalized Notation‎

‎Merion Pa. 1926. A typed letter signed on personalized Merion Manor stationery dated March 31 1926. A rather unusual letter responding to a request for a clam chowder recipe. Lincoln states that writer is "asking too much of me when you request the recipe for clam chowder. I agree with you that the variety found in other sections of the country is at best a poor substitute for the real thing." He does say he will consult Mrs. Lincoln for help and then he writes a lengthy postscript explaining the difference between Manhattan and New England clam chowders. He suggests Fannie Farmer's "Boston Cook Book" for a recipe. Then initialed by Lincoln. Single 7.25- by 10.5-inch sheet. Very Good few original folds. <br/><br/> unknown books‎

‎Autograph Endoresment Signed "A. Lincoln"‎

‎in black ink as President Washington D.C. December 23 1863. Six lines plus signature and date on verso of the integral blank of an Autograph Letter Signed from General John M. Schofield Washington D.C. December 23 1863. Octavo. 2 pages. Fine fresh example dark and clean. In his letter Schofield addresses his commander in chief deferentially: "Mr. President I desire simply to ask you if I may be absent from Washington a few days pending the settlement of my affairs I wish to spend Christmas day with my relatives at West Point. If there is any reason for my remaining here of course I do not wish to go." On verso Lincoln writes: "Not the slightest objection to Gen. Schofield's visiting West Point so that he be in call by Telegraph." This letter serves as an interesting footnote to the long-simmering problem in Missouri where Schofield had been in command. A slave state Missouri had seethed with pro and anti-slavery conflicts and was terrorized by armed bands of southern sympathizers. Schofield and the provisional governor had engaged in bitter jurisdictional quarrels until all factions finally united to criticize Schofield for his "high-handed" administration and demand his removal. In early December 1863 a congressman who had visited Missouri told Lincoln first hand of Schofield's increasing difficulties prompting the President on December 11 to telegraph a simple order to Schofield: "Please come see me at once." After his White House interview Lincoln recommended that Schofield be promoted to major general transferred and Rosecrans appointed to take his place. Lincoln's recommendation was quickly approved by the Senate. Schofield 1831-1906 Graduated West Point 1853. In Missouri at the outbreak of the Civil War he became chief of staff to Gen. Nathaniel Lyon and served until Lyon’s death at the battle of Wilson's Creek August 1861. Promoted brigadier-general of volunteers in November he was engaged in field operations in Missouri and later commanded the Department of the Missouri as major-general. Assuming command of XXIII Corps in February 1864 he took part in Sherman's Atlanta campaign as one of the three army commanders and badly shattered Hool's confederate force at the fierce battle of Franlklin Tenn. Moving the XXIII Corps to the mouth of the Cape Fear river He occupied Wilmington N.C. and effected a junction with Sherman at Goldsboro March 23 1865 for the final moves against Gen. J.E. Johnston. In the spring of 1868 served briefly as U.S. secretary of war. Promoted major-general regular army 1869 he commanded several departments successively and made the recommendations that led to the acquisition of Pearl Harbor Hawaii as a naval base. Superintendent at West Point 1876-81. Lincoln 1809-65 16th President of the United States 1861-65 and one of the most important figures in American history. Signed by Authors. F.

‎Lincoln's 1861 State of the Union Message‎

‎<p><b>ABRAHAM LINCOLN.</b>Book. <i>Message of the President of the United States to the Two Houses of Congress. Volume 1</i> Washington: Government Printing Office 1861. 839 pp. 5¾ x 8¾ in. </p><b>Excerpt</b><p><i>"A disloyal portion of the American people have during the whole year been engaged in an attempt to divide and destroy the Union. A nation which endures factious domestic division is exposed to disrespect abroad and one party if not both is sure sooner or later to invoke foreign intervention. </i></p><p><i> Nations thus tempted to interfere are not always able to resist the counsels of seeming expediency and ungenerous ambition although measures adopted under such influences seldom fail to be unfortunate and injurious to those adopting them. </i></p><p><i> The disloyal citizens of the United States who have offered the ruin of our country in return for the aid and comfort which they have invoked abroad have received less patronage and encouragement than they probably expected.</i></p><p><i> It continues to develop that the insurrection is largely if not exclusively a war upon the first principle of popular government--the rights of the people. Conclusive evidence of this is found in the most grave and maturely considered public documents as well as in the general tone of the insurgents. In those documents we find the abridgment of the existing right of suffrage and the denial to the people of all right to participate in the selection of public officers except the legislative boldly advocated with labored arguments to prove that large control of the people in government is the source of all political evil. Monarchy itself is sometimes hinted at as a possible refuge from the power of the people. </i></p><p><i> In my present position I could scarcely be justified were I to omit raising a warning voice against this approach of returning despotism."</i></p><p><b>Historical Background</b></p><p>President Lincoln's first message to Congress in 1861 immediately follows the title page. In the first year of both his presidency and the Civil War Lincoln criticizes disloyal citizens who are trying to ruin the country. He acknowledges that the Confederates firing on Fort Sumter ended hope of a peaceful solution and expresses his confidence in General McClellan. Lincoln also expounds on the foreign affairs the relationship of labor to capital and reports on domestic commerce and other affairs. The remainder of the book is over 400 pages of papers relating to foreign affairs and correspondence with other nations and diplomats. The second half of the book is made up of the Reports of the Secretaries of the Interior War Navy and Postmaster General.</p><p><b>Condition </b></p><p>Good.

‎Lincoln Farm Association‎

‎LINCOLN FARM ASSOCIATION‎

‎TWAIN MARK Clemens S. L. Lincoln Farm Association. LINCOLN FARM ASSOCIATION CERTIFICATE. n.p. n.d. printed in 1906; issued 1906-1909 Certificate 9 1/2 x 12 inches broadside. A handsome example. An appeal for funds to save Lincoln's birthplace had been sent out in 1906 signed in type by Twain and others. This certificate was sent to those who made donations in response to that initial appeal for funds. This handsome certificate has an engraving of Lincoln at top center the now familiar portrait that later appeared on the five dollar bill and contains the facsimile autographs of the original committee members: Mark Twain President Taft and more than a dozen others along with an bright orange seal affixed dated 1906 that uses the same profile of Lincoln that was later used on the Lincoln penny in 1909. In August 1905 Robert Collier Collier's Weekly purchased the Lincoln Farm. In April 1906 Collier Twain William Jennings Bryan Samuel Gompers William Howard Taft and others organized the Lincoln Farm Association. That same year they bought the Lincoln birthplace cabin from a New York businessman who had bought it in 1894 and taken it on tours of various cities. Their efforts raised more than $350000 to build a memorial in which to house the cabin. Teddy Roosevelt laid the cornerstone in 1909 and Taft dedicated the building in 1911. The site was made a national park in 1916 and the shrine is visited by thousands every year. We have handled several copies of this rare ephemera. cf. BAL 3495 recording the broadside appeal for funds but not this certificate. unknown books‎
