Sherwin was an apprentice of Bartolozzi's and presumably was allowed to sign his engraving in this instance.

réf. 31330Quarto three pages written on Thirty-Seventh Congress Senate Chamber Illustrated Letterhead formerly folded in very good clean and legible condition. Unpublished letter by Senator Jacob Howard defending Lincoln's Knowledge of William Sewrd's July 5 1862 letter to Charles Francis Adams. An important Reconstruction-era letter written by Jacob M. Howard U.S. Senator from Michigan in which Howard writes at length regarding President Abraham Lincoln and the Emancipation Proclamation especially concerning a letter written by Secretary of State William H. Seward to American Minister to Great Britain Charles Francis Adams July 5th 1862 concerning the Emancipation Proclamation. During his tenure as Secretary of State Seward was at times criticized for transmitting important dispatches to foreign representatives without submitting them to President Lincoln especially to Minister Adams who was a close friend of Seward's. The letter of July 5th became a particular point of contention with content related to the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation which was publicly printed in the Diplomatic Correspondence. Here Howard defends Lincoln who disclaimed any knowledge of it at the time. "Dear Sir All I can say at present in answer to yours of the 6th inst. is that the contents of Mr. Seward's dispatch to Mr. Adams of July 5th 1862 are of such a character as to make it incredible that it should have been sanctioned by or even known to the president. It accuses a majority of both houses of Congress of acting "in concert" with the rebels to "precipitate a servile war" at a time when the confiscation act & emancipation bill was pending before them or actually in the hands of the president for his approval the journal will show which which bill was approved by the president. No man who knows Mr. Lincoln can for a moment suppose that that calumnious & ill natured dispatch was seen by him before it was sent. If the controversy were mine I would ask for no further evidence to overcome the denial of the Times. Again on the 22d Sept the president issued his proclamation announcing his purpose to emancipate the slaves of rebels on the first of Jan '63 This carried the emancipation policy much further than the confiscation act had done – or rather threatened to carry it much further. And with that proclamation in print before him Mr S at the opening of the last session deliberately printed & laid before the world that strange dispatch. Can any further proof be necessary whether to demonstrate the ignorance of Mr. Lincoln of the contents of the dispatch or the animus of its author towards him & towards a majority of Congress There are reasons for your not publishing this note & you will therefore not do so. For the present you have materials enough in the facts I allude to to make out your case against the Times without invoking other aid. … J. M. Howard" Jacob Merritt Howard 1805 – 1871 was born in Shaftsbury Vermont. He graduated from Williams College in 1830 and then studied law in Ware Massachusetts. Two years later he moved to Detroit Michigan where he was admitted to the bar in 1833. In 1835 he married Catherine A. Shaw with whom he had five children. In 1838 Howard was elected as a Whig to the lower house of the state legislature where he was active in revising the state's legal code in investigating Michigan's wildcat banks and in drafting railroad legislation. In 1841 he was elected to Congress. Throughout his tenure as a congressman Howard was an outspoken opponent of slavery. After completing his term he returned to private practice in Michigan. In 1850 when arguing a fugitive slave case before the U.S. circuit court he publicly denounced the Fugitive Slave Law and predicted that the country would eventually come to armed conflict over the issue of slavery. In 1854 Howard joined the new Republican party. He was one of the leading members of the Jackson Michigan convention held on July 6 that organized the new party. As chair of the Committee on Resolutions Howard drafted the party platform which deplored slavery as a social evil and opposed its expansion into the territories. He was reputed to have given the new party its name. The same year he was elected the state attorney general as a Republican. Howard served in this position from 1855 to 1861 when he was elected U.S. senator to replace Kinsley S. Bingham who had died in office. Known in Michigan as "Honest Jake" Howard was considered to be one of the "better constitutional lawyers in the Senate chamber." In the wartime debates in the Senate Howard consistently voted for Radical measures approved President Abraham Lincoln's emergency actions during the secession crisis and advocated "severe exemplary and speedy punishment" of the rebels. He was especially vocal on all matters pertaining to the confiscation of rebel property and the emancipation of slaves. He was one of the most forceful advocates of the 1863 Conscription Act and he served on the Committee on Military Affairs. As a member of the Committee on the Judiciary he drafted a portion of the Thirteenth Amendment. He also made several important speeches in favor of the Civil Rights Act of 1866. Howard opposed President Lincoln's Reconstruction program to readmit southern states on the "10 percent plan" 1863 which stipulated that 10 percent of the state's population had to take an oath of loyalty to the government to qualify for readmission. Howard contended that the federal government had a right to extend military rule over the defeated southern states and advocated extreme retaliatory measures. He argued forcefully that Congress and not the president had the power to judge the proper time and manner of readmitting the seceded states and that Congress also possessed the power to reorganize states upon readmission. Howard served on the Joint Committee on Reconstruction and traveled to Virginia North Carolina and South Carolina to investigate postwar conditions there. Upon Howard's return to Washington the committee submitted a proposal to Congress to amend the Constitution. The committee's proposals actively supported by Howard on the Senate floor passed both Houses of Congress as the Fourteenth Amendment. Although Howard had confidence in Andrew Johnson during the first year of Johnson's term he soon lost faith in the president. When Johnson tried to remove Secretary of War Edwin B. Stanton Howard reacted with outrage and authored the committee's report censuring the decision. During President Johnson's impeachment trial Howard voted to convict. Howard chaired the Committee on the Pacific Railroad from its creation in 1864 until 1871. President Ulysses S. Grant offered him the presidency of the Southern Claims Commission but he declined the post. At the end of his congressional career in 1871 Howard returned to Detroit where he died. In public Howard's image was grave and somewhat portly; his speaking style according to his eulogist Chief Justice John A. Campbell was eloquent but ponderous. Privately however he was a genial pleasant man with a keen sense of humor. According to George W. Julian in reminiscences about the Senate during the Civil War Howard "ranked among the first lawyers and most faithful men in the body and no man had a clearer grasp of the issues of the war."
