About This Item
ROBERT TODD LINCOLN (1843-1926). Lincoln was the eldest son and only surviving child of Abraham Lincoln. He was Secretary of War under President Garfield and Minister to England under President Harrison. Upon George Pullman’s death in 1897, Lincoln became acting executive and then president of The Pullman Company, resigning the position in 1911. ALS. 3pg. 4 ½” x 7”. January 1, 1891. An autograph letter signed “Robert T. Lincoln”: “I am not so happy as I have Mrs. Lincoln with me – She & our girls will come…later reaching London at the start of February. It is with great regret that I find myself engaged both for lunch & dinner for any day until I go away at midnight Saturday. My friends including yourself have overwhelmed me with kindness here & I am very sorry that I cannot stay longer to enjoy their hospitality. Hoping to find you at home tomorrow. Most sincerely yours Robert T. Lincoln”. The recipient appears to be Lily Macalester Berghmans Laughton, the second Regent of the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association. It is written on black-bordered mourning stationery and comes with a matching envelope in Lincoln’s handwriting. It is in fine condition.
