Item Details

Description

"A Nation Mourns", Letter on the Death of President Lincoln, Rare American Flag Cover

Autograph Letter Signed, 1p (visible) on bifolium stationery of Jacob Haehnlen Furnishing Materials, 5.5" x 9", Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, May 1, 1865. Hand-addressed on a rare American flag cover postmarked same. Letter has expected folds and creasing, some with minor separation. Lightly age toned. 5.5" x 3.25 envelope shows soiling and edge chipping, with opening tear along left side. Attractively matted together to an overall size of 12.25" x 19.75". Not examined out of frame.

The letter to Lieut. B.B. Lynch of the 183rd Pennsylvania Infantry begins with an offer of congratulations, "I can only congratulate you in going safely through all the battles - & for the successful promotion - & I sincerely trust that we will soon have you in person with us, peace restored & traitors hung as high as high can be", and continues with grief over Lincoln's assassination, "Things about the same as usual - the city yet in deep mourning - the death of our President Abraham Lincoln as you well know has cast a gloom over the whole family..."

The 183rd Pennsylvania Infantry served in the Union Army during the American Civil War. The regiment was nicknamed "The Fourth Union League Regiment". It was organized at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, beginning December 24, 1863, and continuing through March 8, 1864, under the command of Colonel George P. McClean. The regiment was attached to 4th Brigade, 1st Division, II Corps, to July 1865, when it mustered out of service. The regiment lost a total of 187 men during service: 4 officers and 92 enlisted men killed or mortally wounded; 2 officers and 89 enlisted men died of disease.

This item comes with a Certificate from John Reznikoff, a premier authenticator for both major 3rd party authentication services, PSA and JSA (James Spence Authentications), as well as numerous auction houses.
