Description:

ABRAHAM LINCOLN
(1809 - 1865) Sixteenth President of the United States who led the Union through the Civil War and emancipated the slaves, assassinated. Partly-printed D.S. 'Abraham Lincoln' as president, 1p. folio parchment, Washington, Sep. 17, 1861, the appointment of Champion Vaughan to serve as 'Additional Aide de Camp with the rank of Major'. Co-signed at bottom by Secretary of War EDWIN M. STANTON. Stanton's signature and engrossment are a bit light, Lincoln's signature is much darker. Parts of the document and the signatures are soiled or lightly affected by offsetting, conditions we believe could be easily remedied at little cost. Nicely matted and set into a gilt wood frame. Vaughan was born in South Carolina and enlisted as a major on Jan. 6, 1862. He remained in the service for the entire length of the war, being mustered out on Oct. 5, 1865.

Shipping

Shipments are sent via FedEx and DHL (for most overseas shipments) or FedEx Ground at the auctioneer's option. Due to complications from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we will ship with USPS Priority Mail only if the buyer submits their request to us in writing and accepts responsibility for delayed shipments. Signature is always required, unless other arrangements are made. Handling and shipping charges will be added to the invoice in one entry. Buyers should be aware that large, framed, fragile or odd shaped items can incur substantial shipping and packing charges. International shipments are invoiced by DIMENSIONAL weight, not the item weight. Please contact us for an estimate before bidding NOTE: Large, heavy or bulky items may not be shipped by the auctioneer - arrangements for shipping of these items via a third-party shipper may be arranged through the auction house. Customers who supply their own courier account number will still be charged a handling fee. Please allow 2-3 weeks for shipments after receipt of payment due to the high volume of packages being shipped.
