WASHINGTON, GEORGE
Autographed war-date letter signed (“Geo. Washington”) as commander-in-chief of the Continental Army, 3 1/2 pages, on a bifolium, Head Quarters, Newburgh, July 30, 1782. To late New York Governor George Clinton regarding Marinus Willett’s command of militias in the Mohawk Valley and his concern for the British-held Fort Ontario at Oswego. The New York frontier was the site of numerous skirmishes between Loyalists and American allies between 1780-1782. Because of the continuing Loyalist raids in the Mohawk valley, Governor George Clinton gave Marinus Willett command of the militia to defend the region. The present letter underlines Washington’s concern for the defences of the Mohawk Valley, a strategic and vulnerable point on the Revolutionary War battle lines, and his hesitation to act quickly or send additional troops without careful consideration of proper military strategy. Washington states: “How far it may be expedient to call forth an additional aid of militia, I shall submit to your Excellency’s judgement, as you are better acquainted with the circumstances of the frontier, the strength of Willet’s command, and probably the state of the enemy at Oswego, than I am. In the meantime, I wish to be informed as far as may be in your power of the force of Willet’s corps now assembled on the Mohawk, also the strength of the enemy at Oswego, of which I have as yet had only vague and unsatisfactory accounts.” Fort Ontario on the Oswego River had been occupied by the British Troops and Washington planned to send Willett on a secret expedition to recapture it. The expedition would later fail and the British held Fort Ontario until 1796, thirteen years after the end of the American Revolution. His tone projects his pessimism as he continues: “I cannot but hope that corps [underlined], in conjunction with the Continental regiment stationed in that quarter will be able to give a better protection to the country than has lately been the case, and to chastise the insolence of the enemy in any future incursion...” Double-sided frame; matted; with a reproduction photograph. Very fine, with only a slight hint of dampstaining to the lower right corner. 18 x 26 inches. Property from the Estate of Mr. Albert Joseph, Northbrook, Illinois $50,000-70,000

JEFFERSON, THOMAS
Autographed letter signed (“Th. Jefferson”) as President, one page, Washington, July 18, 1803. Letter of introduction for John Barnes, a Philadelphia tea merchant and grocer. Jefferson writes to General Muhlenberg, “This will be delivered to you by Mr. Barnes, who being personally unknown to you, has asked of me a letter of introduction, as he proposes before I return to the seat of government, to visit Philadelphia, with a view to his removal there. He has been so long an inhabitant of that place that he can hardly live elsewhere. As he has been the subject of two former letters, I will add only that he is one of those gratefull [sic] & correct men for whom one never reports of having done any thing. Accept my friendly salutations and great esteem. Th. Jefferson.” Jefferson’s Calendar of Correspondence records three letters to Muhlenberg referring to John Barnes in 1802-1803. Brown stains at center obscuring a portion of the text; lightly creased. Framed and matted with a reproduction portrait. 21 x 14 1/2 inches.

(CIVIL WAR. LINCOLN, ABRAHAM)
3 vols. 8vo, publisher’s green cloth, gilt-lettered spines, uncut. Limited to 1,150 copies, with six fold-out maps in rear pocket of vol. 3. Fine condition. Property from the Estate of Mr. Albert Joseph, Northbrook, Illinois $200-400
Lincoln sat for two life-masks, one by sculptor Leonard Volk in April 1860 and the other by sculptor Clark Mills, taken two months before Lincoln’s assassination. Mill’s mask is the only Presidential life mask and the only one that portrays Lincoln’s entire head, as Volk has left the back open. He achieved this by covering Lincoln’s head with a cap, coating his beard and face with oil, applying a thin coat of plaster and, once dried, allowing it to fall off with a twitch of Lincoln’s face. He then reassembled the broken pieces to yield a perfect likeness, which carefully captures clear details of his face and skin, showing the affects of his Presidency when compared to the younger Volk mask. Lincoln’s former secretary, John Hay, who owned a cast, wrote: “the nose is thin, and lengthened by the emaciation of the cheeks; the mouth is fixed like that of an archaic statue; a look as of one whom sorrow and care had done their worst without victory...the whole expression is of unspeakable sadness and all-sufficing strength. Yet the peace is not the dreadful peace of death; it is the peace that passeth understanding.” (“Life in the White House in the Time of Lincoln,” Century Illustrated Monthly, November 1890). One copy of the mask is housed in the Smithsonian, given by Mills’ son, Theodore Augustus Mills; The Carnegie Museum of Natural History, Pittsburgh, PA, has a copy, also from Theodore Mills; a Clark Mills mask sold at Christie’s in 2009 for $35,000, was exhibited at the Newberry Library, Chicago, in 2010, and resold at Treadway Toomey in 2012 for $32,500. The present mask has not appeared at auction and has been in a private collection for generations. Inscription is faded; some light soiling at top of head and inside.

BEFORE THE SALE Prospective buyers are strongly advised to personally examine any property in which they are interested before the auction takes place.

All lots are sold “AS IS” and without recourse and neither Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. nor its consignor(s) makes any warranties or representations, express or implied with respect to such lots. Neither Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. nor its consignor(s) makes any express or implied warranty or representation of any kind or nature with respect to merchantability, fitness for purpose, correctness of the catalogue or other description of the physical condition, size, quality, rarity, importance, medium, material, genuineness, attribution, provenance, period, culture, source, origin, exhibitions, literature or historical significance of any lot sold. The absence of any reference to the condition of a lot does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or completely free from wear and tear, imperfections or the effects of aging. No statement, whether written or oral, and whether made in the catalogue, or in supplements to the catalogue, an advertisement, a bill of sale, a salesroom posting or announcement, the remarks of an auctioneer, or otherwise, shall be deemed to create any warranty, representation or assumption of liability. Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. and its consignor(s) make no warranty or representation, express or implied, that the purchaser will acquire any copyright or reproduction rights to any lot sold. Leslie Hindman Auctioneers Inc. expressly reserves the right to reproduce any image of the lots sold in the catalogue.
AT THE SALE Refusal of Admission Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. has the right, at our complete discretion, to refuse admission to the premises or participation in any auction and to reject any bid. Registration before Bidding A prospective buyer must complete and sign a registration form and provide identification before bidding. We may require bank or other financial references. Bidding as Principal When making a bid, a bidder is accepting personal liability to pay the purchase price, including the buyer’s premium, all applicable taxes and all other applicable charges, unless it has been explicitly agreed upon in writing with Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. before the commencement of the sale that the bidder is acting as agent on behalf of an identified third party acceptable to Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc., and that Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. will only look to the principal for payment.

With respect to lots that are offered without reserve, unless there are already competing bids, the auctioneer, in his or her discretion, will generally open the bidding at half of the low estimate for the lot. In the absence of a bid at that level, the auctioneer may proceed backwards at his or her discretion until a bid is recognized, and then continue up from that amount. Auctioneer’s Discretion The auctioneer has the right at his or her absolute and sole discretion to refuse any bid, to advance the bidding in such a manner as he or she may decide, to withdraw any lot, and in the case of error or dispute, and whether during or after the sale, to determine the successful bidder, to continue the bidding, to cancel the sale or to reoffer and resell the item in dispute.
