Here are some additional president signed items we sold:
Important Civil War letter signed by President Abraham Lincoln, exactly one week after the disastrous Battle of Fredericksburg that left Lincoln in ”a worse place than hell” upon hearing the results of the ”butchery” of Union forces. The hope of taking the Confederacy’s capital of Richmond had been stymied yet again, and criticism of Lincoln’s handling of the war reached such a pitch that there was even serious consideration of removing him as Commander-in-Chief. In this letter, written to Major Generals William B. Franklin and William F. Smith, Lincoln responds to another possible plan of how to approach the city, presented by the Generals (see lot 135 for Franklin and Smith’s plan). General Franklin, in particular, was likely trying to fix the problem of capturing Richmond, as his command of the Left Grand Division during the Battle of Fredericksburg had been criticized in some quarters; Lincoln, however, views this new plan with skepticism and even issues a mild rebuke at the end of the letter, for what seems to be an inconsistency in Franklin’s recommended strategy. Single page letter is written in the hand of Lincoln’s secretary John G. Nicolay, boldly signed by Lincoln at the conclusion. On bifolium stationery measuring 7.875” x 9.875”. Fold lines, else near fine condition. Sold for $40,000.
