194256696Chatham Massachusetts 1942. Typed Letter Signed. An interesting one-page letter to Andrew Coddington a soldier at a recruit training center at Fort Hancock NJ now a part of Sandy Hook National Park. On Lincoln's personal stationery dated August 19 1942. Lincoln writes that he has been ill which explains for the tardiness in his response "but be sure that it wasn't due to carelessness." Lincoln then gets personal: "I wonder where you may be just now. Events and people are moving so fast and so far in these strange days that it is hard to keep up with them. Perhaps you are somewhere the other side of the world by this time." Lincoln writes that he wished Coddington well and hopes he can visit him on Cape Cod if he is in the Chatham area. "Wherever you are I hope things are going well with you and that some of these days and in the not too far distant future you will be coming back to Cape Cod again." An interesting reflection by a well-known author during World War II. Very Good usual letters folds for mailing. <br/><br/> unknown books

The Riddles were a prominent and prosperous New England family. Isaac the original owner of this property had also owned property in Bedford as well as the first mill to be built at Merrimack New Hampshire. <br /> <br /> <p>He and his brother or possibly cousin William P. Riddle formed a militia company of exempts i.e. self-armed and equipped volunteers over 40 years of age who although exempt for military duty chose to organize as a militia unit. The company drilled daily in expectation that as a result of heightened Anglo-American tension over the Oregon-Canada borderit would be called on to fight the British at Portsmouth.
