Item # 706599
August 12, 1863
NEW YORK TRIBUNE, Aug. 12, 1863
* President Abraham Lincoln letter
* American Civil War conscription
The top of the first column has: "President Lincoln On The Draft" "Retaliation for Abuse of Colored Troops" which has his letter signed in type: A. Lincoln. Also: "Lee Expected To Attack Meade" "End of the Naval Campaign in the Mississippi" and more.
In his August 11, 1863, letter to New York Governor Horatio Seymour, Lincoln continued their debate over the Civil War draft following the July riots. Lincoln addressed the uneven enrollment quotas, promising to fix discrepancies while maintaining that the draft must continue, emphasizing the necessity of law enforcement over the Governor’s request to suspend it.
Eight pages, printing crease near the top, very nice condition.
