Abraham Lincoln Personally Owned and Worn Spectacles — With Provenance From Lincoln’s Family

Spectacles worn by Abraham Lincoln, photographed with the President in the portrait taken by Alexander Gardner in Washington, D.C. in 1865 (O-116D in ”Lincoln in Photographs”). With provenance from Abraham Lincoln’s great grandson, Robert Todd Lincoln Beckwith. As his last direct descendant, Beckwith writes in an ”Affidavit and Deed of Gift”, signed and dated 16 August 1977 (a photocopy of which is included in the lot): ”I, Robert Todd Lincoln Beckwith of Washington, D.C., certify that among the contents of a trunk located and unopened until recently, and placed in the attic of Hildene, the estate of my grandfather Robert Todd Lincoln, Manchester, Vermont, by my grandmother Mary Harlan Lincoln (Mrs. Robert Todd Lincoln), and the said contents being awarded to me by the Estate of my sister Mary Lincoln Beckwith, were found two pair of eye glasses which had belonged to my great grandfather President Abraham Lincoln, and so marked by my grandmother Mary Harlan Lincoln. I further give one pair of these eye glasses to Margaret Fristoe of Chevy Chase, Maryland, and one pair to James T. Hickey of Elkhart, Illinois.” Hickey was the Curator of the Lincoln Collection of the Illinois State Historical Library, now the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library. The pair given to Hickey is still in the Library’s collection. Two years after gifting the glasses to Fristoe, Beckwith married her and upon her death the glasses were passed to her daughter from a prior relationship, Lenora Fristoe Hoverson. Her affidavit is also included. Also included is a signed letter from a board-certified optician attesting to the prescription of the glasses as +2.12, a match to Lincoln’s known prescription strength in the 2.00 range. An amazing piece of personal history from one of America’s greatest presidents. Sold for $84,422.

Revolutionary War-Dated George Washington Autograph; a Letter Signed — Washington Writes During the “Secret” 1777 Winter Encampment at Valley Forge — “…it is highly probable that Troops may soon have to cross over [the Schuylkill River], which must be kept perfectly Secret…”

Historically important George Washington autograph letter signed “G. Washington” from “Headquarters”, dated 1 December 1777, as Washington was deciding where to encamp his troops for the winter. As this letter demonstrates, he had already secured the location of Valley Forge, a decision which proved to be a major success in the War, as the area was highly defensible and strategically located from British forces. Washington would lead his troops to Valley Forge less than three weeks later, on 19 December 1777, where they would regroup for the winter and learn military training from Baron von Steuben. Letter, addressed to Brigadier General Potter, reads: “Sir, Since Mr. Tilghman’s letter of last Evening to you, I have advice from the City which convinces me that the Enemy do not propose coming out as we then expected. I therefore wish that if you will not have crossed the Schuylkill before you receive this, you may remain on the other side for sometime longer. If the Bridge lately built should have suffer’d any Damage by the late Rains, you will get your men to repair it, in the best order you can, as it is highly probable that Troops may soon have to cross over it, which must be kept perfectly Secret. I am Sir Your most Obe’d Serv / G. Washington”. Letter includes an original Crest Watermark. In good condition, with uneven edges, toning and dampstaining throughout, as one would expect of a letter being carried on field in the winter of 1777. Sold for $30,658.
