Fine autograph note signed by Abraham Lincoln as President less than one month before his assassination on April 14. Lincoln pens a comment on the verso of a letter: "I submit the question to the Sec. of War. / A. Lincoln / March 18. 1865". The note, referring to Secretary of War Edwin Stanton, was written two weeks after Lincoln's second inauguration. The note is contained within a suede mat beneath a nice Mathew Brady CDV portrait of Lincoln. The autograph note measures 3.75" x 2.5" matted to an overall size of 8" x 12". In very good to near fine condition.
