About This Item
A WEEK AFTER THE LINCOLN ASSASSINATION, FIVE BOSTONIANS CONTRIBUTE TO AN ABRAHAM LINCOLN MEMORIAL (ABRAHAM LINCOLN). DS. 1pg. April 21, 1865. Boston. A document pledging one dollar apiece to a Massachusetts memorial to President Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln had been assassinated one week prior. “Enclosed please find the pledge of myself and family to the cause […] for our late Presidents memory….” Five signatures follow by T. Clement, Mary A. Clement, Clement O Jordan, Elisa M. Huston and one more. The document is in very good condition with some smudges. I am uncertain if the funds went to the controversial Boston statue of Lincoln that was removed in 2020.
