ABRAHAM LINCOLN SIGNED 1861 BRIGADE SURGEON COMMISSION
Beautiful original commission signed by President Lincoln, dated August 9, 1861. Commission is framed inside a gold gilded frame. Measures 13" x 17", frame measures 29" x 33". Lincoln signature is on fold.
This commission was signed by Lincoln on August 9, 1861. During this time, Lincoln was working at the Capitol with cabinet members, approving and signing bills. The President hesitates before signing a bill authorizing confiscation of property used for insurrectionary purposes. He signs a law giving freedom to slaves employed by Confederates in carrying on war. Lincoln also approves an act authorizing a penalty for recruiting soldiers or sailors, and for enlisting, against the United States. It was during this time that this commission was drafted, appointing JD Robinson of Ohio as Lit1 Brigade Surgeon of Volunteers "By the Advise & Consent of The Senate" on August 5, 1861. This commission was signed by Lincoln on August 9, 1861.
