New York Tribune
December 7, 1864

Beginning on page one and carrying over for three columns of the second page, Abraham Lincoln, asks for reconsideration of the 13th amendment which would abolish slavery, reports favorably on the reconstruction efforts in Louisiana, Maryland and elsewhere, and talks about the prospects for peace. He ends his message: “In stating a single condition of peace, I mean simply to say, that the war will cease on the part of the Government whenever it shall have been ceased on the part of those who began it.”

This historic newspaper also contains the full reports of the Treasury Secretary and the Postmaster General–both quite fascinating to read actually!

Eight pages and in truly excellent condition.

$350
