Historical BackgroundDuring the Civil War several northern cities hosted sanitary fairs between 1863 and 1865 to raise money for the care of wounded soldiers. The Great Central Fair held at Logan Square in Philadelphia in June 1864 was a fundraiser for the United States Sanitary Commission and was one of the largest fairs. The main exhibit building constructed in forty working days by local volunteer skilled labor enclosed 200000 square feet. It featured nearly one hundred departments offering a broad range of displays from Arms and Trophies to Fine Arts to Umbrellas and Canes. Curiosities included a $1000 doll house a recreated parlor of William Penn with Penn artifacts the boat used by Arctic explorer Elisha Kent Kane and George Washington's carriage.Over three weeks the fair welcomed more than 400000 visitors. The season ticket offered here cost $5 a week's pay for a day laborer or a domestic and several days' wages for skilled workers. The fair served more than 9000 meals per day in its restaurant and had a daily newspaper with descriptions of the various departments. During its existence the fair raised approximately $1 million for the Sanitary Commission second only to New York City in money raised.President Abraham Lincoln attended the fair with his family on June 16. He also donated forty-eight signed copies of the Emancipation Proclamation printed under the auspices of George Boker of the Union League which were sold for $10 each.ConditionBoth have glue discolored on the reverse sides. The smaller card has a 1" edge tear on the right side neatly repaired with archival tape. books

Double matted and framed with glass on both sides to display pages one and four. Slightly chipped 26 x 33 in. frame.In the upper portion of the first column of the first page appears this five line advertisement: "STUART & LINCOLN / ATTORNEYS and Counsellors at Law will practice / conjointly in the Courts of this Judicial Circuit. â€“ / Office No. 4 Hoffman's Row up stairs. / Springfield april 12 1837." Two ads directly above: "NINIAN W. EDWARDS / ATTORNEY & COUNSELLOR AT LAW / Springfield â€“ Illinois."Lincoln had moved from New Salem Illinois to Springfield in 1836. He had first met fellow attorney Ninian W. Edwards when both were members of the Illinois State House of Representatives. Edwards married Elizabeth Todd in 1832 and Lincoln met Elizabeth's sister Mary Todd at the Edwards home where Mary had moved in 1839. On November 4 1842 Lincoln and Mary Todd were married in the Edwards mansion.The Sangamo Journal started publishing in 1831 shortly after a young Lincoln settled in New Salem. The newspaper faithfully supported Abraham Lincoln and the Whig Party throughout many name changes: the Illinois Journal 1847 shortly after Lincoln left for Congress then the Illinois State Journal1855. As the Whig party broke up the newspaper supported the newly-formed Republican Party and Abraham Lincoln's rising political star. ConditionVery fine with no visible tears. books

Autograph Endoresment Signed "A. Lincoln"

1863601017in black ink as President Washington D.C. December 23 1863. Six lines plus signature and date on verso of the integral blank of an Autograph Letter Signed from General John M. Schofield Washington D.C. December 23 1863. Octavo. 2 pages. Fine fresh example dark and clean. In his letter Schofield addresses his commander in chief deferentially: "Mr. President I desire simply to ask you if I may be absent from Washington a few days pending the settlement of my affairs I wish to spend Christmas day with my relatives at West Point. If there is any reason for my remaining here of course I do not wish to go." On verso Lincoln writes: "Not the slightest objection to Gen. Schofield's visiting West Point so that he be in call by Telegraph." This letter serves as an interesting footnote to the long-simmering problem in Missouri where Schofield had been in command. A slave state Missouri had seethed with pro and anti-slavery conflicts and was terrorized by armed bands of southern sympathizers. Schofield and the provisional governor had engaged in bitter jurisdictional quarrels until all factions finally united to criticize Schofield for his "high-handed" administration and demand his removal. In early December 1863 a congressman who had visited Missouri told Lincoln first hand of Schofield's increasing difficulties prompting the President on December 11 to telegraph a simple order to Schofield: "Please come see me at once." After his White House interview Lincoln recommended that Schofield be promoted to major general transferred and Rosecrans appointed to take his place. Lincoln's recommendation was quickly approved by the Senate. Schofield 1831-1906 Graduated West Point 1853. In Missouri at the outbreak of the Civil War he became chief of staff to Gen. Nathaniel Lyon and served until Lyonâ€™s death at the battle of Wilson's Creek August 1861. Promoted brigadier-general of volunteers in November he was engaged in field operations in Missouri and later commanded the Department of the Missouri as major-general. Assuming command of XXIII Corps in February 1864 he took part in Sherman's Atlanta campaign as one of the three army commanders and badly shattered Hool's confederate force at the fierce battle of Franlklin Tenn. Moving the XXIII Corps to the mouth of the Cape Fear river He occupied Wilmington N.C. and effected a junction with Sherman at Goldsboro March 23 1865 for the final moves against Gen. J.E. Johnston. In the spring of 1868 served briefly as U.S. secretary of war. Promoted major-general regular army 1869 he commanded several departments successively and made the recommendations that led to the acquisition of Pearl Harbor Hawaii as a naval base.

Autograph Endorsement 22 words Signed

18636046011863. "A. Lincoln" in black ink Washington DC May 12 1863 being 7 lines on the verso of the second leaf of an autograph letter to Lincoln from Robert Chester Buffalo May 9 1863 2 pages; 7 7/8" x 12 3/4" on a bifolium of blue-ruled paper neatly reinforced at folds. Lincoln deals with an officer seeking "An Honorable Discharge & to Avoid a Dishonorable One." Robert Chester who identifies himself as "late Capt. 17th Infantry US Army" petitions the President: "I would most respectfully request a suspension of Special Orders No. 201 Extract 4 by which I am dismissed the service of the United States. The reasons for such request are that my case has not been properly submitted to Your Excellency. I would respectfully ask that the order my be suspended until a Court of Inquiry or Court Martial; can be convened when I may have the opportunity to defend myself." Chester's appeal is joined by ten other prominent citizens of Buffalo including her postmaster one the justices of the city's Superior Court and three Union officers hailing from the Bison City. Lincoln forwarded Chester's petition to Judge Advocate General Joseph Holt directing him to "please examine & report on this case. The officer only seeks an honorable discharge & to avoid a dishonorable one." Nothing further on the case is recorded and Holt - influenced perhaps by the President's none-too-subtle insinuation - evidently found no merit to Chester's claim.

Autograph Letter Signed

18636046021863. "A. Lincoln" in black ink on Executive Mansion Washington letterhead March 18 1863. 5" x 8" 1 page with integral leaf. Very good. Integral blank with an autograph endorsement signed by Holt and clerical endorsement from the Adjutant General's office. To Judge Advocate General Joseph Holt: Lincoln requests his Judge Advocate General to investigate the "Strong Mitigating Circumstances" surrounding the court-martial of a member of the West Point Class of 1861. "It is said Lieut. John Benson Williams of the 3rd regular infantry as been sentenced by a Military Commission to be dismissed the service. I have some reason to believe there are strong mitigating circumstances in his case which the Commission perhaps did not deem competent for them to consider I will thank you to procure the record examine it and report it to me. . ." Holt forwarded Lincoln's letter to the Adjutant General noting that "No record or report in regard to the Williams case has been received at this office." The letter was returned to Holt accompanied by the record of William's court-martial and docketed "Please see papers within." After studying the record Holt made a lengthy report to Secretary of War Stanton March 30 1863 which survives in the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library. Holt dismissed the "mitigating circumstances" referenced by Lincoln - Williams's supposedly "severe sickness" - and concluded that "It is evident that Lieut. Williams left his command on the battlefield and returned to Washington without leave and in known violation of orders and of his duty. . . .He has shown himself disqualified for the profession of arms." On April 8th Stanton in turn forwarded Holt's deposition to the President "as requested by his note on the 18th Ulto" that is the present letter. Lincoln ended the matter with his own terse endorsement on April 11th: "I decline to interfere in Behalf of Lieut. Williams" Basler 4:169. Although referred to in Basler's note regarding Lincoln's endorsement the present letter does not appear in "The Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln". Signed by Authors. No Binding.

Autograph letter signed Priest Abraham evidently sent to Amherst professor William Seymour Tyler.

183719688Ooroomiah Urmia West Azerbaijan Iran March 3rd 1837. 3.5 pages in autograph ink in English on an unlined foolscap folio 13.75 x 8.75 inches approx. 850 words no cover. Docketed in autograph ink "Letter from Priest Abraham to Prof. Tyler March 2 1837. "Permit me to inform you that the year Mr. Perkins came to the county of Persia to the city of Tabreez; Mr. Perkins and Mr. Haas a German Preacher came to the country of Ooroomiah- first to Gavalan the village of Mar Yanna i.e Mar Yohanna who accompanied them to the city of Ooroomiah. They remained in the city a few days and then came to my village- viz. Geog Tapa which is four miles distant from the city and we accompanied them to Tabreez. There we read your language the English and Mr. Perkins read our language the Syriac about eight months. Then the Plague entered Tabreez and Mar Yohana and myself took leave of Mr. Perkins and returned to Ooroomiah. After about five months Mr. Perkins came again to Ooroomiah also Mrs. Perkins and Dr. Grant and Mrs. Grant." A lengthy letter in English from one of the earliest Nestorian Christians to assist the American mission to Persia launched in November 1835 by the arrival in Urmia of "the Apostle to the Persians" Justin Perkins 1805-1869 with his wife Charlotte Bass Perkins missionary physician Asahel Grant 1807-1844 and Grant's wife Judith Campbell Grant. Qasha Auraham this the Syriac rendering of Priest Abraham was a native of the village of Georgtapa just to the southeast of Urmia the nephew to village elder Muqdasi Mormezd who had suggested Auraham as the suitable local assistant for the missionary team; along with Mar Yohannon Auraham was instrumental in teaching the missionaries modern Syriac and in creating written vernacular Syriac. The goal of the American Board of Missions with the Perkins mission had been the revival of the Assyrian Church of the East rather than planting an independent Protestant church and Perkins worked with Auraham and other local scholars to create a written modern Syriac in order to translate Nestorian religious texts out of ancient Syriac into the vernacular. Linguistics in that period was something of a rugged pursuit in Azerbaijan and Auraham was instrumental in recruiting a noted scholar to the translation mission as later reported by Perkins in Nestorian Biography: "A few months after the missionaries arrived at Oroomiah Mr. Perkins sent priest Abraham of Geog Tapa and a Nestorian deacon to the mountains to obtain from thence an ecclesiastic to assist him in reducing the modern Syriac to writing and in the translation of the Scriptures. . . . There was real advantage in uniting the labors of a translator from the mountains with one on the Plain to harmonize so far as practicable the different dialects in the first reduction of the language to a written form. The messengers were charged to obtain 'the most learned' priest they could find. They boldly set off on footâ€”entered the formidable mountains and penetrated as far as Marbeshoo a large village in a secluded glen forty miles west of the Plain of Oroomiah. It was a fearful journey at that period. . . . At Marbeshoo they found priest Dunkha who had come down to that place from his more distant home on business. His fame as a very learned man was already known to the messengers and they at once engaged him to return with them to Oroomiah. A week after they left the missionary they introduced to his study priest Dunkha who though grotesquely clad in wild Koordish costume struck him as a very pleasant man." The collaboration with Dunkha is alluded to here by Auraham: "I would also inform you that we four viz. Mar Yohanna -- myself -- Joseph a brother of Mar Yohannan -- and little John the son of my uncle study your language. And Mr. Perkins and Mrs. Perkins and Mr. Grant and Mrs. Grant study our language the Syriac. We learn your language by little and little but Mr. Perkins learns our language very well. And I would further inform you that Mr. Perkins and Priest M'dunka i.e. Qasha Dunkha and myself are translating the Old and New Testament from the Syriac language into our dialect. Of the Old Testament we have translated the first book which as you know gives an account of the creation and three chapters of the second book. And of the New Testament we have translated the first fifteen chapters. If God smile upon us we shall be and by finish complete this good work." Since the first mission press would not be operational in Urmia until the arrival of printer Edward Breath in 1840 this earliest translation of the New Testament from the Peshitta rather than the Greek would not be published until 1846. Professor William S. Tyler of Amherst seems the likeliest recipient of this missive given that he had both been a friend and fellow-student of Perkins at Andover Theological Seminary and had taught with Perkins at the Amherst Academy; presumably this firsthand account from Auraham was meant both as English practice andâ€”with its mixture of exotic romance and good works to drum up for support for the mission among kindred scholars in America. Some short closed tears along old folds but no loss; some light toning a little old creasing; in very good condition quite legible. With a preliminary typescript.

His major work Theatrum Orbis Terrarum 1570 with later revisions and addendums was the first modern atlas. It was based on contemporary charts and maps and contained a collection of plates engraved by Frans Hagenberg in a uniform size and format. The Theatrum preceded the first atlas of Ortelius' good friend Gerardus Mercator. In fact popular sentimental legend has it that Mercator delayed publication of his own work so that his younger friend's would appear first. Although this simply isn't true Mercator wasn't ready the legendary cartographer did complement Ortelius for the "care and elegance" he had put into the Theatrum. unknown books
