Extraordinary
Artistic letter w/poem, April 15, 1865, Front & Back Encased in Acrylic (4.75 x 8 in.). Hospital No. 2, sec. 10, ward 4, Nashville, Tennessee. From James H. Stickler, 103 Illinois Infantry. Stickler enlisted as a Sergeant in August 1862. The letter has a flag at half-mast, draped with black streamers. Most of the text is in calligraphy with a short script note at the end. It is addressed to his sister. He speaks about the shock people had at finding out about the
assassination. He then notes that he went to town to go to church "
for the purpose of hearing the preaching and seeing the fair sex you know that I am getting to be quite old and time that I should be paying a little more attention than I have heretofore been doing I saw some that appeared very well but yet they fail to suit me so you will please interest yourself in my behalf and find me one that is in favor of union good looking and very rich
." Yep.

magnificent example of the raw emotion the troops and citizenry of the country was feeling that fateful day when our new country already Reeling from
four years of
Hell
lost it's
innocence
for
ever, and forever changed these United States and the World as we knew it with the Cowardly
Murder
of our
Beloved & Iconic
Commander in Chief. Abraham Lincoln.
NOTE:
Letter is encased in Acrylic /
Plexiglas, Written on both sides of paper.
