[1865?]. 1 page, folio, minor repairs at folds, large paper seal of the United States in lower portion, in very clean, fresh condition. FOUR-LANGUAGE SHIP'S PAPERS SIGNED BY LINCOLN . Few such papers were used during Lincoln’s tenure as President. The document, with text in French, Spanish, English and Dutch, attempted to insure safe passage for American ships. Presidents usually signed unaccomplished ship's papers that were sent to various ports to be filled out when required by the collector. Very few ship's papers of this type were signed by Lincoln; we are aware of three other examples.
