LELAND Detroit, Michigan OF THE UNRESTRICTED PUBLIC SALE June 2nd at 8 P. M. CHICAGO BOOK & ART AUCTIONS, ING. 410 South Michigan Avenue CHICAGO Henry M. Leland Collection Foreword These memorials of Abraham Lincoln have bound up within them the strivings by which he grew to the stature of greatness. Through the years that have intervened since his passing the memories which they hold have been aug- mented by the thoughts and acts to which they have inspired those who have reverently possessed them. Henry M. Leland reached his twenty-first birthday in 1864. In that year he cast his first presidential vote for Abraham Lincoln. The esteem which he thereby expressed for the man and his principles grew with the years, and was happily rewarded in 1916 when he was able to acquire the relics and documents described in the following pages. Always a vital force in his life, the Lincoln traditions became a still more compelling influence to Mr. Leland from that time forward. In the following year, a time of inter- national crisis, he earnestly dedicated the Lincoln Motor Company to the service of this nation for which the martyred president gave "that last full measure of devotion." In this same reverent spirit do we now offer these memorials to those who revere the memory of Abraham Lincoln. . Wilfred C.

LINCOLN, ABRAHAM. AMBROTYPE OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN. Oval Ij^ by 2 inches. In gold frame and chased ebony case. This ambrotype has for its background some of the most cherished memories of the Lincoln family. The picture ivas taken February 27, 1860. On that day Lincoln delivered at Cooper Union the address which is said to have made him President of the United States. Mrs. Lincoln so loved this likeness that she claimed it for her own and kept it as her personal possession for many years. The President was so moved by the address of Dr. Gurley at the obsequies of his little son, William Wallace Lincoln, that he then asked Mrs. Lincoln to present the portrait, on her death, to Dr. Gurley's family. When the sale of the Gurley collectio^n became known to Mrs. Emma B. Hodge of Chicago, she purchased the ambrotype and it was acquired from her by Wilfred C. Leland for his father's collection of Lincolniana. Mr. Leland learned of this portrait through Rev. Newell Dwight Hillis, and in speaking of it Dr. Hillis said; "There is no photograph in existance of Abra- ham Lincoln that has this spirited mood. You hai'e seen him in the mood of discussion; you have seen him in the mood of a stern resolve; but here you find him in the mood wherein he has surrendered his will and life into the hands of God. It is the most poetic single portrait of Lincoln that was ever made." 20. LINCOLN INAUGURATION BALL. Large and Finely Engraved TICKET TO THE "UNION BALL." Large American Eagle and Stars at top. Underneath are engraved the names of the 250 Managers comprising every well-known Northern States- man and politician of the period. The Invitation was sent to Mrs. Michael Newbold. 4to.

Leaf of Lincoln's Arithmetic 25. LINCOLN'S SUM BOOK written when a school boy. De- fective leaf containing examples in long division worked out by Lincoln, with autograph, "Abraham Lincoln's Book." Inlaid, 2 pp., folio, silked. On one side of the leaf are four lines, reading as follows: "Abraham Lincoln is my name And with my pen I wrote the same, I wrote in both haste and st>eed And left it here for fools to read' The heading of the leaf is dated 1824. Lincoln was then fifteen years of age, and the family zvas livitig in the backwoods. As is zuell known, he had I'ery little schooling and did most of his studying at home and this leaf is from an exercise book in tvhich he f'octiced his e.vamfiles. il'hile part of the leaf i.t missing this still remains one of the most interesting Lincoln souvenirs in existence. Few other such leares are extent, but this is unique in that it con- tains the poem abore quoted. 26. LINCOLN'S SUM BOOK. Another defective leaf containing examples in compound interest, worked out by Lincoln. Inlaid, 2pp., folio, silked. This leaf followed the foregoing item of long division and shows the studious disposition of the young Lincoln. These pages represent hard mental labor done at night after the daily toil, in 1822 to 1824. A more personal or characteristic souv- nir of Lincoln would be difficult to procure. 27.

To Mason Brayman, then attorney of the Illinois Central Railroad, who had engaged Lincoln to conduct some important suits in which the Company was interested. The Letter commences "This is the last day of Court here and being abottt to leare I have drati'n on the Illinois Central Railroad Company, or rather on you on their Account, for $100 which the McClean County Banks hare negoci- ated for me. I hare directed them to hare the draft presented to you. Will you please see that it shall be honored? The reason I have taken this Liberty is that since last fall, by your request, I hare declined all new business against the road and out of which I suppose I could hare realized several hundred dollars; hare attended both at DeWitt and here to a great variety of little Business for the Company most of which however remains unfinished and have received nothing. I rvish now to be charged this sttm, to be taken into account on Settlement. Truly Yours, etc. A. LINCOLN. P.S. The Draft is in favor of Mr. Pardee, who is Cashier of the Bank." Fine and extremely characteristic Lincoln Letter. In 1854 he was not only the Leader of the Whig Party in Illinois but also had attained a commanding posi- tion at the Bar. He was, however, always noted for the moderation of his fees and up to this time the fee charged in this case was his largest. 12 j^. C^^^ /^,/?(oO [Lot Number 40] In December, 1855, Lincoln rendered a bill for serinces to the Company, read- ing: "The Illinois Central Railroad Qamt>any. Dec. (15th?) 1855, to A. Lincoln, Dr. To Professional Senices in the Case of the Illinois Central Railroad Cotnfianv against the County of McLean argued in the Supreme Court of the State of Illinois at December Term, 1855. $5000.00. "We the undersigned Members of the Illinois Bar, understanding that the abort entitled cause was tivice argued in the Supreme Court, and that the judgment therein decided the question of the claim of counties and other minor municipal corporations to the property of said Railroad Company, and settled said ques- tion against said claim and in fai'or of said Railroad Company, are o/ opinion the sum above charged as a fee is not unreasonable. Grant Goodrich, N. B. Judd, Archibald Williams, N. H. Purple, O. H. Browning, R. S. Blackwell." This U'as the largest fee Lincoln ei'er received. Lincoln Letter to Whitney 36. LINCOLN, ABRAHAM. Autograph Letter Signed. Ip., 4to. Springfield, June 7, 1855. To Henry C. Whitney, Illinois politician and author of "Life on the Circuit with Lincoln." "My Dear Sir: Your note containing Election urtw is received, and for -which I thank you. It is all of no use however. Logan is worse beaten than any other man ever was since Elections were invented beaten worse than 1,200 in this County. It is conceded on all hands that the prohibitory Law is also beaten. Yours truly, A. Lincoln." Logan was a Douglas Democratic Congressman from Illinois, but on the first intimation of coming trouble ii'ith the South, he declared that "in the event of the election of Abraham Lincoln he would shoulder his musket to have him inaugurated." He was one of the ablest and most active of the Union Generals throughout the war. Rare Legal Manuscript 37. LINCOLN, ABRAHAM. Autograph Manuscript. Ip., folio. April 25, 1855.

Lincoln on the Fremont Campaign 38. LINCOLN, ABRAHAM. Autograph Letter Signed. Ip., 4to., Stained. Springfield, September 14, 1856. To Henry O'Con- nor, of Muscatine, Iowa. The contest was very close in the campaign of 1865 in Illinois, and Lincoln zvas one of the most active workers for the neivly formed Republican party. He writes: "It would be very pleasant to strike hands with the Fremonters of Iowa, who have led the van so splendidly, in the grand charge which we hope and believe will end in a most glorious victory. All thanks, all honor to loiva! But Iowa is out of all danger, and it is no time for us, when the battle still rages, to pay holyday visits to Iowa. I am sure you will e.rcuse me for remain- ing in Illinois, where much hard work is still to be done. Yours very truly, A. Lincoln." 39. COMPILED LAWS of the State of Michigan. Compiled by Thomas M.

Springfield, Illinois, October 15, 1860. To L. Montgomery Bond, Esq. A superb letter on the vital question of the time. "Yours of the 1st has been at hand some days. You ask, 'In the e'cent of your election to the Presidency . . . would you countenance radicalism to the ex- tent of embittering the feelings of our Southern brethern.' I certainly am in no temper, and haz'e no purpose to embitter the feelings of the South; but Hithether I am you can better judge by my published speeches than by anything I zt'ou/d say in a short letter, if I were inclined noitj, as I am not, to define my position aneu'."

Circumstances hare proved that Mr. Wood is the last man who should bring a charge against any one, very especially against one who has been tried and always proved exact in his dealings. From remarks made by eye witnesses, in reference to if'ood, he is either deranged or drinking. Many testify that he is acting very strangely, and as he is noiv knozvn not to be the right man, he is trying to place a just man on a level with himself. Major French, who has long known Mr. Watts, ivill bear testimony to his good name. I heard much of Wood in N. York and all agree that he is not a good man He is bitterly disappointed that we read him aright and that he is displaced and is capable of anything aganist those who tried to befriend him when he was so undesenrin<]. I remain very sincerely your friend, Mary Lincoln." 58. LINCOLN, MARY TODD. Autograph Letter Signed. Ip., 8vo. Executive Mansion, October 26, 1861. To Hon. Caleb B. Smith, Secretary of Interior, asking him to help Mr. Watts. "Mr. Watts came to me this morning and asked me if I would address you a note. He says he lyill ever be deeply grateful, if you would TODAY, attend to some business, ivhich he says he has spoken to you about he expresses great friendship and gratitude to you, and if you will kindly release him from his present trouble, he promises, and I KNOW WILL KEEP HIS WORD, that you will not be embarrassed by him again & will be too happy to sen-c vow hence- forth in any ivay.

Cltfton House, Chicago, Noi'. 11, 1865. "Your letter, relative to the carriage, has been received. Considering it was so much out of repair, I think it sold very well. Can you inform me, who was the purchaser? As to Mr. Williamson for the last four years, he was tutor to my little boys. My husband and myself always regarded him as an upright, intelli- gent man When leaving Washington, last May, 1 directed the servant woman to present him in my name (and in consideration, for the high reverence he (Mr. W.) always entertained for the President) a shawl and dressing gown. In doing so I felt he U'ould cherish & alivays retain these relics of so great_ and good a man My astonishment was very great I assure you, when you mentioned that these articles were for sale. Mr. W. certainly did not reflect when he proposed such a thing / K'ish you would write to him and remonstrate upon .fo strange a proceeding. Hoping a gain to hear from \ou on the subject, I remain very respectfully, Mrs. A. Lincoln." "I am feeling very anxious, after again looking over your letter, about Mr. Williamson's proposed sale, of these little relics-^t sounds very badly to me, who in my deep affliction am naturallv very sensitive // possible it MUST BE prevented'.

Of course (between our- selres) if it f'assed with the other bill, it would be kept from me, and if the $15000 passed the House of Representatives, they ivould try to prevent Arthur from signing it. I plead with you to write to Mr. Springer about it all and please enclose me his Reply without the least delay. The Great Anxiety about this business is rendering me very ill. Only a fei\i lines from Springer will Satisfy me. Many persons are now doubting it greatly. Mrs. Mack has acted very ugly * * * Mrs. Dr. Miller returned from Wash, a few days since accom- panied by Susan B. Anthony and other Suffrage Women who stopped at this house.

She commences, "My dear Mary, I have not received a reply to my last two letters, but infer that you are not in writing mood, as is often my oivn case. Mr. Edwards ivishes me to remind you that he had a long talk last Spring with our Representative in Congress, Mr. Springer, who promised him, that he would sei;:e the first opportunity to have your pension increased. The applica- tion is usually presented by some one from the State where the person belongs. Mr. Sprittger has written to Mr. Edwards and says he is ready and anxious to sen'e you in this matter. He says that he believes the Country desires that every attention and Care that Money can procure should be furnished you out of the Nation Treasury.

Copy of a letter on Mrs. Lin- coln's Pension written in the handwriting of Mrs. Rhoda E. Mack. 4pp. 365 Eifth Ave., New York City., Dec. 13, 1881. To Mrs. Admiral Dahlgren. "My dear Madam, Our Mutual Friend, Mrs. Lincoln, is suffering with a Spinal difficulty, the result of a dangerous Fall. She is under treatment which might be successful if her means permitted her to have in her surroundings something more than the bare necessities of Life. It is almost impossible for her to walk a step. She is subject to fainting turns and really needs the constant attendance of a Maid, but the expenses of attending the Baths and daily Treatments are so heavy that she is obliged to depend for services on the good will of the servants in the Establishment in zvhich she boards. Does it seem right, the Widow of our Martyred Lincoln should be in this position? Assuredly not and her friends here and in Washington ought to make an effort to have her pension 20 raised to a sum sufficient to enable her to f>ass the Remainder of her days in as much comfort as her suffering condition .''// l>ermit * * * Mrs. Lincoln thinks if you were to see Don Cameron, his influence would be of signal senrice to her.'" etc. etc. 63.
