Eldest son of Abraham and Mary Lincoln, the only Lincoln child to survive into adulthood; notable in his own right, serving as secretary of war, minister to Great Britain and president of the Pullman Company; and his wife (wed 1868) Mary Harlan, who his mother disliked instantly and unfairly. Two items, a lovely pair of personal checks completely filled out and signed by each: first, a partly-printed ADS from Robert, 1p, 7½" X 2 3/4", Washington, DC, 1917 March 2. Near fine. Printed check drawn on The Riggs National Bank, filled out and signed in Lincoln's small but bold and legible hand in black ink for $5.00 to The Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company. Typical, non-offensive cancellation holes. Second, a similar partly-printed ADS from Robert's wife Mary, 8 3/4" X 3", Manchester Center, VT, 1917 August 7. Near fine. Printed pale gold check drawn on The Factory Point National Bank, filled out and signed entirely in her huge bold hand to Manchester Lumber Co. for $1.40 in her usual rather pale ink. Normal ink cancellation stamp and slashes. An unusual, very scarce and attractive pair penned just a few months apart. Checks from any Lincoln family members are rarely encountered, and a superb pair such as this are quite desirable.…
