Abraham Lincoln –War Date Autograph Note Signed August 20, 1864 that states “I shall be glad if any Department or Bureau can give Mr. Waugh the desired clerkship, A. Lincoln Aug 20, 1864”  Pic1   Pic2   Pic3   Pic4   $8450  Lincoln is responding to a letter received by Sec. of War Stanton on August 20, 1864 from Mr. Waugh in Georgetown DC stating that “…he is from Bainbridge Decatur County Georgia…is a refugee without means or employment…desires clerkship…”    Overall frame is 17x29 inches, matted area about an inch smaller all around with 4 insets of engraving, legend, Lincoln’s ANS on back of letter, and laser copy of letter to which Lincoln is replying back to Stanton.  This item is investment grade and of the highest quality.  A similar ANS on the web right now is priced at $16,000.  It is interesting to note that Lincoln replied on the same day the letter was written so it must have been hand carried to Stanton from Georgetown. DC. This item is fantastic and ready to hang.  Consignor will consider a partial trade.

Gen.”  He adds the word in upper left “Cipher” indicating letter was to be encoded before transmittal, also a pencil note upper right “11 am” in a different hand.  At bottom is a copy print of Grant and his two generals.  Details surrounding the date Grant wrote this letter are described in the Certificate of Authenticity.  Fabulously framed 16x21 inches and ready to hang.
