Pair of Abraham Lincoln Rocking Chairs From His Springfield, Illinois Residence — His Last Before Moving to The White House

Wooden rocking chairs from the home of Abraham Lincoln. Pair of chairs were present in Lincoln’s Springfield, Illinois home when he was elected President, at which time he divested himself of his home’s furnishings, among them these chairs. Lincoln’s departure from Springfield for the White House is remembered for the eloquent speech he gave to the crowd who saw him off at the train station, perhaps more so for his emotional delivery than for the actual phrasing of the address. A period LOA affixed under the seat of one chair reads, “Chairs belonged to Mr. & Mrs. L. & were used by them in their Springfield Ill. home and when they were breaking up to go to Washington, D.C. they were given to a Miss Olmstedt, a very intimate friend of the Lincolns & a near neighbor in Spring-Ill. Miss O went abroad for her health and died there about 1921 – sold the chairs to Mrs. Touchard with the privilege of buying them back – but never came back…” A later note on the LOA reads, “Bought of Mrs. Touchard by Mrs. John Cougar Palmer & presented by her to her son-in-law Henry Coolidge Learned about 1925 / H.C. Learned”. 

46340_med memorabiliaAlso accompanied by a copy of a signed letter from Dorothy W. Hobbs, chairman of the National Society of the Colonial Dames of America, which restored the Lincoln’s Springfield home. Hobbs expresses interest in obtaining the chairs for the Lincoln Home National Historic Site. Chairbacks have the original six spindles; stencil design and finish date to the 1930’s.

Satirist Jonathan Swift’s Very Witty Autograph Letter Signed — ”…[he] is as high a Whig and more…And yet he is a very honest Gentleman…a Doctor who kills or cures half the city…” — 1735

Incredibly scarce Jonathan Swift autograph letter signed, with humorous content on a number of issues, including various men of his Irish town. The satirist and author of ”Gulliver’s Travels” dates his letter 15 April 1735, when he served as Dean of St. Patrick’s Cathedral in Dublin. Letter reads, ”My Lord Your Grace must remember, that some days before you left us, I commanded you to attend me to Doctor Delaney’s house, about a mile out of this Town, where you were to find Doctor Helsham the Physician. I told you they were the two worthyest gentlemen in this Kingdom in their severall Faculties. You were pleased to comply with me, called on at the Deanry and carried me thither; where you dined with apparent satisfaction. Now, this same Dr. Helsham hath orderred me to write to Your Grace in behalf of one Alderman Aldrich; who is master of the Dublin Barrack, and is as high a Whig and more at your devotion than I could perhaps wish him to be. And yet he is a very honest Gentleman, and which is more important, a near Relation of the [political family] Grattans, who, in Your Grace’s absence are governors of all Ireland, and your Vicegerents when you are here, as I have often told you. They consist of an Alderman whom you are to find Lord Mayor at Michaelmas next; of a Doctor who kills or cures half the city, of two Parsons my subjects as [illegible] who rule the other half, and of a vagrant Brother who governs the North. They are all Brethren, and your Army of twelve thousand soldiers are not able to stand against them. Now, Your Grace is to understand, that these Grattans will shickle to death for all their Cousins to the five and fiftieth degree; and consequently this same Alderman Aldrich being onely removed two degrees of Kindred and having a son as great a Whig as the Father, hath prevayled with Dr. Helsham to make me write to Your Grace, that the son of such a Father may have the Mastership of a Barrack at Kinsale, which is just vacant, His name is Michael Aldrich. Both Your Grace and I love the name for the sake of Dr. Aldrich Dean of Christ-church, although I am afraid he was a piece of a Tory, you will have several Requests this Past with the same Request, perhaps for different Persons, but you are to observe only mine, because it will come three minutes before any other. I think this is the third request I have made to Your Grace. You have granted the two first, and therefore must grant the third. For, when I knew Courts, those who had received a dozen favors, were utterly disobliged if they were denyed the thirteenth. Besides, if this be not granted the Grattans will rise in rebellion, which I tremble to think of. My Lady Eliz. Germain uses me very ill in her Letters. I want a Present from her, and desire you will please to order, that it may be a seal. Mine are too small for the fashion; and I would have a large one, worth forty shillings at least. I had a Letter from her two days ago, and design to acknowledge it soon, but [illegible] must first be dispatched, I mean the Request I have made to Your Grace, that the young Whig may have the Barrack of Kinsale worth 60 or 70 lb a year. I should be very angry as well as sorry if Your Grace would think I am capapble of deceiving you in any circumstances. I hope and pray that my Lady Dutchess may recover Health at the Bath, and, that we may see her Grace perfectly recovered when You come over. And pray God preserve and your most noble Family in Health and Happyness…Jonath: Swift”. 2pp. on card-style stationery measures 7” x 9”. Block of toning to verso panel, and repaired separation to verso along fold lines, else near fine.
