Abraham Lincoln Free Frank as President, clear "A Lincoln" signature on an envelope addressed by Lincoln to "Hon. H.B. Anthony, U.S. Senate"; the cover seems to have been franked by Lincoln with the intention of sending via the Post Office but, without postal markings, it was apparently hand-carried to the senator; a small spot of erosion slightly affects the "te" of "Senate", otherwise fresh and Very Fine. A marvelous Lincoln free frank, with 2020 P.F. certificate.
