SIGNATURE

Abraham Lincoln autographs and historical documents are among the most collected and are always in demand. His letters are known for their great clarity and economy of words, he never using two where one would suffice. He always had a propensity for signing “A. Lincoln,” and his letters are always signed that way. But he varied that under two circumstances. As an attorney: “Lincoln and Herndon,” and as president: “Abraham Lincoln.” He never used the name Abe, and in fact hated it.
