PRESIDENT LINCOLN AND HIS WAR CABINET
A decorative relic of the 16th President and his cabinet, three of whom (Bates, Seward, Chase) had been rival contenders for the 1860 Republican presidential nomination. This and a number of nearly identical documents signed by the President and his cabinet were created to benefit one of the Sanitary Commission fairs, held to collect medical supplies for wounded soldiers, a cause for which Lincoln frequently furnished examples of his signature.
