Good to 'see' you, MadIvan. The seller at the boot sale must be seriously depressed now.

I suppose a car boot sale would translate to flea market over here.

I'd be very careful about showing it to the Library of Congress. They would probably claim it was stolen and confiscate it.

You know how bad moving can be! Some things never get unpacked and are given up as lost forever.
I hope he at least sells it to the Smithsonian or another likely museum and not a private entity.

I've got an autograph of Lincoln on a document on my wall. It has an interesting history, as does the Colt revolver belonging to another signer of the document.

Good question. The wording of the order was recorded by the army and the date of the order is known because Stanton telegraphed Grant with the news. But the original has never been found. I hope this turns out to be genuine.
To: Fresh Wind
No worries - they'll send Sandy Berger to view the document first.

Judah Benjamin probably got a hold of it to remind him of the moment when history inevitably caused him to become a Barrister.

US reports are saying it was found in a "parking lot sale". (What IS a car boot sale?)
And why is this document in England?!?! Love to know the provenance on this one!
