Robert Todd Lincoln Autograph, Clipped Signature with COA

Description

Abraham Lincoln's son, Robert Todd Lincoln's signature in fountain pen ink, from a clipped document signed - Sincerely yours, Robert Todd Lincoln. The clipping also records the name of Lincoln's Law Partner, The Honorable Edward Swift Isham.
Edward Swift Isham (1836-1902)
had become a prominent Chicago lawyer and Republican member of the Illinois House of
Representatives, where he served a two-year term. After his term expired
in February 1872, Isham
admitted
29 year-old
Robert Todd Lincoln
,
the President’s son, to his Law Firm practice as a junior
partner.
Robert Todd Lincoln (1843-1926)
Robert, eldest of Abraham
and Mary Todd Lincoln’s four sons, was their only child to survive to
adulthood. Robert had studied law at
Harvard Law School before transferring to the Law School at the old University
of Chicago and setting up a practice of his own in the city. The move to
Chicago was to accompany his mother, who wished to relocate there a month after
the president’s 1865 death.
Lincoln would later serve as Secretary
of War under James A. Garfield, and Benjamin Harrison appointed him
as Ambassador of the United States to the
Court of St James. He later became general counsel for the Pullman Palace Car
Company in 1893, and succeeded George Pullman as company president
in 1897.
In addition to the COA, the auction winner will also receive a 4"x 6" reprint photograph of Robert Todd Lincoln which was taken at the 1922 dedication of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC. No International Shipping.
