Abraham Lincoln autograph note signed as President. Just a month after the first battle on Union soil at Antietam, the wartime president writes decisively in full: ''If another Quarter Master is needed, let Judge Hays be appointed. A.Lincoln / Oct 23, 1862''. Above his note is a message in another hand, recommending: ''...Judge Hayes...for his appointment as Qr. Master. / Geo. W. Browne''. Panel upon which note appears measures 3.5'' x 7.75''. Toning, pinholes to the corners and chipping to the left edge with separation to fold connecting integral blank. Very good.
