Annotation

[1] ALS, IHi. On January 7, 1863[4], Edward and Henry T. Anthony, manufacturers and importers of photographic materials, albums, steroscopes, and views, wrote Lincoln:

``As the President . . . cannot be expected to visit every place that is worth seeing, the places must follow the example of the people and send their Representatives.

``We take pleasure therefore in sending you some views of beautiful bridges, lakes, and landscapes which may be looked upon as the constituents of the New York Central Park.

``Trusting that the society of these quiet visitors may sometimes afford you a relaxation from the turmoil and cares of office, we request that you will accept them with the best wishes of Your Friends and Fellow Citizens'' (DLC-RTL).
