About halfway through the order pages, Lincoln signs his name, writes Washington D.C. as his address, and orders the cloth-bound &amp;nbsp;"library" edition at a cost of $6.00 total, the cheapest set. The "leather" edition of the finest binding cost $7.50). Lincoln writes his order on the same page as Montgomery Blair and William Seward. Most of the Cabinet ordered a set, as did scores of well-known men in the capital and in New Yorks's financial district. Hurlbut &amp;amp; Williams published the set 1863. It is unknown what became of Lincoln's copy of vol. 1. The Taper Collection Item consists of two 2-volume sets of the published book, plus this specimen volume with 730 signatures, all in slipcase.</text>

This engraving is one of three existing copies of the only print portrait which Lincoln is known to have signed. Six proof copies were sent to Lincoln in Springfield prior to his departure for Washington. On the trip Lincoln used a parlor car made for him by William M. Kasson of Buffalo, New York. The signature and inscription were presented to Kasson when the inaugural train stopped in Buffalo on Feb. 18, 1861.</text>

The "Execution Docket" book contains approximately 260 unnumbered pages. Bound in original marbled boards, with leather spine and corners, the book's pages are lined wove paper, lightly ruled into sections in pencil, with entries in numerous hands, including Lincoln's. Most of these entries are in ink; but a few scattered ones are in pencil. As may be expected with a long and much-used book, the covers are well-worn, scuffed, and nearly detached, with portions of the top and bottom spine missing.</text>

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The answer of Philip S. Kreigh to the Interrogatories filed in the case of Nathaniel Hay against Nicholas Bryan, in which case said Kreigh has been summoned as a garnishee-
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To the first Interrogatory said Kreigh answers and says, that he is indebted to the said Bryan-
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To the second he answers that the full amount of said indebtedness is to the best of his knowledge and belief forty dollars and fortyseven cents-and no more-
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To the third he answers that he became indebted to said Bryan in the sum of $367.25 cents for the rent of a certain farm that he gave said Bryan a note on or about the 1st of Dec 1838 and due one year after date for the sum of $30, and he thinks some few cents, and in relation to said note he states that he does not now know who holds the same, that he does not know, nor has he any means of knowing that it has not been assigned by said Bryan before it became due-that he is entitled to a credit for said indebtedness of $32.73 cents for which sum a judgement has been rendered against him as a garnishee in a case before justice Keys of Raborg &amp;amp; Shaffner against said Bryan, of $190 paid said Bryan on the 17th of Dec 1838, as per receipt herewith exhibited; of $131.78 cents for upon an account due him from said Bryan as per bill of particular herewith
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;exhibited, of $1.50 cents for half of the expenses of surveying the a farm aforesaid, according to the lease of the same, and the whole of which expense said Kreigh has paid-and of $3.50 cents for seven days attendance on this court in this case, the agregate sum of which credits being deducted from the aggregate sum of his said indebtedness leaves as he believes the afore said sum of $40.47 cents-
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To the fourth interrogatory he says that said indebtedness by him to said Bryan is now due and has been since the 1st day of March last
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And now having fully answered he prays to be discharged &amp;amp;c.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Philip P. Kreigh
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Subscribed &amp;amp; sworn
to before me 4 day
of August 1841

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To the third he answers that he became indebted to said Bryan in the sum of $367.25 cents for the rent of a certain farm that he gave said Bryan a note on or about the 1st of Dec 1838 and due one year after date for the sum of $30, and he thinks some few cents, and in relation to said note he states that he does not now know who holds the same, that he does not know, nor has he any means of knowing that it has not been assigned by said Bryan before it became due-that he is entitled to a credit for said indebtedness of $32.73 cents for which sum a judgement has been rendered against him as a garnishee in a case before justice Keys of Raborg &amp;amp; Shaffner against said Bryan, of $190 paid said Bryan on the 17th of Dec 1838, as per receipt herewith exhibited; of $131.78 cents for upon an account due him from said Bryan as per bill of particular herewith
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;exhibited, of $1.50 cents for half of the expenses of surveying the a farm aforesaid, according to the lease of the same, and the whole of which expense said Kreigh has paid-and of $3.50 cents for seven days attendance on this court in this case, the agregate sum of which credits being deducted from the aggregate sum of his said indebtedness leaves as he believes the afore said sum of $40.47 cents-
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To the fourth interrogatory he says that said indebtedness by him to said Bryan is now due and has been since the 1st day of March last
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And now having fully answered he prays to be discharged &amp;amp;c.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;March 13th 64
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My Dear Mrs Alexander:
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ever since your departure to Kentucky, I have frequently determined to write to you for knowing full well, the trials you had to pass through this past winter my sincerest sympathies, were with you. Yet now, in your hour of &lt;u&gt;heart rending&lt;/u&gt; bereavement how much I have grieved with you, &lt;u&gt;tongue&lt;/u&gt;, cannot tell, your sorrows, have only opened my own bleeding wounds afresh &lt;u&gt;earth&lt;/u&gt;, can afford, &lt;u&gt;no balm,&lt;/u&gt; for 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;[written vertically across this page]
Dear little Taddie sends his love to you the boys not forgetting little &lt;u&gt;"Junebug"&lt;/u&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;such bereavements, as we have been called upon to pass through. Your lovely family, of little boys, were very dear to me your darling little Carroll, was my especial favorite. My precious Willie, was another of the pure ones, too good for earth, hence early transplanted to a more congenial soil. &lt;u&gt;They&lt;/u&gt; are so happy &amp;amp; rejoicing, whilst we are bowed down, for their loss &amp;amp; yet our grief, how natural it is! 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Words cannot express, how much, I shall miss your presence at the Soldiers' Home, the coming summer, it was a most unexpected and 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;inexplicable affair, both to Mr L. &amp;amp; myself, we were really so sincerely attached to your noble Husband &amp;amp; yourself, your kindness to us, was so great, at all times, that we shall always feel under obligations &amp;amp; in coming years, I trust we may meet, my acquaintance, with you, has been, in such a time of deep sorrow, that I have always felt, in my nervous, miserable state, I was not able to &lt;u&gt;do&lt;/u&gt; myself justice. I am indebted to you, whilst, in such moods, for many genial, pleasant hours, and if I were, now, with you we could freely weep together. The loss of my noble beautiful boy, is as keen a pang 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;to me, now, as it was at first, indeed, I realise it more, &lt;u&gt;only&lt;/u&gt; the grave, can close upon, &lt;u&gt;such&lt;/u&gt; afflictions. I have taken the great liberty of sending you a little package, it was a small part of a supply, I brought from &lt;u&gt;home&lt;/u&gt;, three years since, not knowing whether, we had not to supply the table, in the W. H.  I am sure, as a housekeeper, you will excuse, my sending such a poor offering. I trust, when your cares &amp;amp; feelings will permit, you will write to me, with love to your children &amp;amp; friends, I remain ever truly
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mary Lincoln

She writes: "earth can afford no balm for such bereavements My precious Willie, was another of the pure ones, too good for earth " She regrets that Mrs. Alexander will not be in Washington for the next summer and recalls their kindness to "us" and adds, "the loss of my noble beautiful boy is as keen a pang to me now, as it was at first" In a postscript she sends love from "Taddie." With this letter are two envelopes addressed by Mary Lincoln to Mrs. Colonel Alexander in Louisville, Kentucky. One of these has the free-frank signature of A. Lincoln. The letter was folded and put into a small envelope with the "L" monogram. This in turn was inserted into a second, larger envelope bearing the president's free frank signature and circular postmark.</text>

&lt;p&gt;March 13th 64&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;My Dear Mrs Alexander:&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Ever since your departure to Kentucky, I have frequently determined to write to you for knowing full well, the trials you had to pass through this past winter my sincerest sympathies, were with you. Yet now, in your hour of &lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;heart rending&lt;/span&gt; bereavement how much I have grieved with you, &lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;tongue&lt;/span&gt;, cannot tell, your sorrows, have only opened my own bleeding wounds afresh &lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;earth&lt;/span&gt;, can afford, &lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;no balm,&lt;/span&gt; for&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;[written vertically across this page] Dear little Taddie sends his love to you the boys not forgetting little &lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;"Junebug"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;hr /&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;such bereavements, as we have been called upon to pass through. Your lovely family, of little boys, were very dear to me your darling little Carroll, was my especial favorite. My precious Willie, was another of the pure ones, too good for earth, hence early transplanted to a more congenial soil. &lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;They&lt;/span&gt; are so happy &amp;amp; rejoicing, whilst we are bowed down, for their loss &amp;amp; yet our grief, how natural it is!&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Words cannot express, how much, I shall miss your presence at the Soldiers' Home, the coming summer, it was a most unexpected and&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;hr /&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;inexplicable affair, both to Mr L. &amp;amp; myself, we were really so sincerely attached to your noble Husband &amp;amp; yourself, your kindness to us, was so great, at all times, that we shall always feel under obligations &amp;amp; in coming years, I trust we may meet, my acquaintance, with you, has been, in such a time of deep sorrow, that I have always felt, in my nervous, miserable state, I was not able to &lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;do&lt;/span&gt; myself justice. I am indebted to you, whilst, in such moods, for many genial, pleasant hours, and if I were, now, with you we could freely weep together. The loss of my noble beautiful boy, is as keen a pang&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;hr /&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;to me, now, as it was at first, indeed, I realise it more, &lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;only&lt;/span&gt; the grave, can close upon, &lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;such&lt;/span&gt; afflictions. I have taken the great liberty of sending you a little package, it was a small part of a supply, I brought from &lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;home&lt;/span&gt;, three years since, not knowing whether, we had not to supply the table, in the W. H. I am sure, as a housekeeper, you will excuse, my sending such a poor offering. I trust, when your cares &amp;amp; feelings will permit, you will write to me, with love to your children &amp;amp; friends, I remain ever truly&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Mary Lincoln&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My Dear Mrs Shearer
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For some days past, particularly since the fourth, I have anticipated writing you a letter and give you an account of some of us on [May?] day. We had a children's and grown people's picnic on that day, out at Col McClernand's farm, for the &lt;u&gt;first time&lt;/u&gt; since you left, had the pleasure of meeting your good sister. You can perhaps imagine how much you were missed &amp;amp; how frequently your name was mentioned on that day. Pray how were you passing the time?
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We  are having very warm weather. I trust among the hills, you are not passing through the same &lt;u&gt;fiery&lt;/u&gt; ordeal we are. Our summer thus far, has been rather pleasant than otherwise between strawberry &amp;amp; raspberry parties &amp;amp; latterly some select &lt;u&gt;tea&lt;/u&gt; drinkings, our warm weather is almost half gone. Yet &lt;u&gt;withall&lt;/u&gt;, I am generally very lonely. Miss Corcoram made a little stay of two months, with us, as she was not particularly pleased with her boarding house and as she contemplated a visit during her vacation to Wheeling I thought it would lessen her expenses, and render any eve-
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;nings less lonely. If I still have Mary, the same girl I have had for some time, and I see no reason to expect a change, I shall be willing to shelter her in the winter more especially as Robert leaves the first of September, &amp;amp; I fear I shall grow cowardly &lt;u&gt;again.&lt;/u&gt; I have attended a very sad funeral today. Mrs Walters &lt;u&gt;only&lt;/u&gt; &lt;u&gt;promising&lt;/u&gt; son, was drowned two days since, in the Illinois river. the family is heart broken. There is so much to sadden us in life, and so little to make us wish to cling to it as we do. I have not yet learned, dear friend, to look &lt;u&gt;over the way&lt;/u&gt; with a calm heart, I truly believe I shall never cease to miss you.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mrs McClernands health has improved a good deal. She had some idea of going to some springs in Virginia, I am almost disposed to think she will not go. You speak of visiting New York In September, you will doubtless have a pleasant time. I should like to fly away and be at &lt;u&gt;rest,&lt;/u&gt; this summer, yet I remember that I have taken &lt;u&gt;mine ease&lt;/u&gt; so extensively. I miss our cosy meetings of the olden time &amp;amp; when I think you will never return here I am sad indeed. We have at least the opportunity of frequent interchange of letters  I hope you will frequently remember me in that way. Remember me kindly to the Dr &amp;amp; boys. Hoping soon to hear from you. I remain yours truly, M. Lincoln
