Group of 6 unusual postal covers created by Lincoln scholar Thomas I. Starr 1903-65 noted Lincoln scholar from Detroit Michigan whose publications include "Lincoln Belonged to a Great Fraternity" 1936 "A Lost Speech of Abraham Lincoln" 1936 and "Lincoln's Kalamazoo Address Against Extending Slavery" 1941. Six identical 6�" X 3�" envelopes each bearing the then-new 3-cent Lincoln stamp at upper right and at upper left printed in brown ink a profile portrait of Lincoln alongside the tiny printed text quoting Lincoln's well-known reply when told that a new city in Logan County Illinois was to be named after him "You'd better not do that for I never knew anything named Lincoln that amounted to much.". Starr typed his Detroit name/address at lower center and mailed these to cities across the country with the word "Lincoln" in them having them cancelled on Lincoln's birthday 12 February 1933 and signed by the postmaster of those cities. Thus the envelope cancelled in Lincoln California has "K.M. Fleming p.m." penned at lower left the envelope cancelled in Lincolnton Georgia has "J.M. Wilkes P.M. / Lincolnton Ga." penned at upper left the envelope cancelled in Lincolnville Kansas has "Axel F. illegible / P.M." penned at upper left the envelope cancelled in Lincolnville Center Maine has "R.S.
