^Lot 66 Abraham Lincoln

Partly-printed war-dated DS as president, one page, 14 x 13.25, November 12, 1861. President Lincoln appoints David Hodgson a “Third Lieutenant in the Revenue Service of the United States.” Signed at the conclusion by Lincoln and countersigned by Secretary of the Treasury Salmon P. Chase. Matted and framed with a color portrait of Lincoln to an overall size of 34 x 28.25. Intersecting folds, one through a single letter of signature, moderate rippling from moisture exposure, handwritten portions of the document fairly light, but still mostly legible, and some scattered light toning and soiling, otherwise very good condition. Lincoln’s signature remains quite crisp and prominent. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from PSA/DNA. Oversized.
