Q & A with Harry Rinker: Pres. Lincoln Letter Copy, Mark Twain Voice Record

QUESTION: I own a printed copy of an 1864 letter that President Abraham Lincoln wrote to Mrs. Bixby. My dad found it in an Ohio attic about 45 years ago. The printed notation on the bottom left reads: “An engrossed copy of this facsimile letter of President Lincoln to Mrs. Bixby, hangs on the walls of Brasenose College Oxford University as a specimen of the purest English and most elegant diction extant. It is said that as a mode of expressive English, it has rarely, if ever, been surpassed.” The paper is signed by John A. Key (1871-1954), a member of Congress from 1913-1919. I believe he made this copy because he was a printer by trade. Is there any value to my copy?

ANSWER: This letter has a colorful origin and history. It was written in November 1864 to Mrs. Lydia Bixby, a widow living in Boston whose five sons were supposedly killed during the Civil War. Lincoln wrote the letter at the request of Massachusetts Governor John Albion Andrew. It appeared in print in the November 15, 1864, issue of the “Boston Evening Transcript,” the same day Adjutant General of Massachusetts William Schouler delivered it to Mrs. Bixby.

As it so happened, Mrs. Bixby only lost three of her five sons. Furthermore, Mrs. Bixby’s sympathies ,and that of at least some of her sons, rested with the South rather than the North. Private Arthur Edward Bixby, who Mrs. Bixby claimed was underage when he joined and was discharged, actually deserted. Captain George A. Bixby was captured at Petersburg and may have deserted to the enemy. Mrs. Bixby, who had moved from Richmond, Va., to Boston, is alleged to have been a member of the Copperheads (Northerners who were sympathetic to the South) and manager of a house of ill repute. A great-great grandson reported that Mrs. Bixby destroyed the letter upon receipt.
