SOLD War-dated endorsement, signed “A. Lincoln,” on an off-white 3 in x 1 3/4 in.slip. The endorsement reads: "Let this man take the oath of Dec, 8 and be discharged.” Even in the midst of the Civil War, one of Lincoln’s primary concerns was a rapid return to normalcy during the process of Reconstruction. On December 8, 1863, he issued the Proclamation of Amnesty and Reconstruction, which provided a means of repatriating “those who resume their allegiance” even though the war was still in progress. One immediate result was that those who took an oath of loyalty were issued a full pardon. In fine condition.
