Lot 157
[Lincoln, Benjamin]. Some age-toning. We believe that this curious document was probably written by the Revolutionary War General Benjamin Lincoln's son of the same name. Autograph Military Document Signed. Ten pages, on two folded Folio leaves, recto/verso, and a two-page Quarto insert, attached by a green military ribbon, n.p., October 21, 1823. To "his Excellency William Eustice Esquire Governor and Commander in Chief of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts." Lengthy military report from "Benjamin Lincoln," on an examination of charges "exhibited" against one of the colonels of the 3rd Regiment, 1st Brigade, 5th Division - a Colonel Fokes [?]. In this studious document, Lincoln relays the findings of the several specifications that constitute the charges against the colonel, whose alleged malfeasance was the mishandling of a recent Regimental parade. Fine.
Estimated Value $375-UP.
