NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

A collection of Lincoln memorials, including photographs, manuscripts, and cartoons is now on exhibition in the Treasure Room of Widener. Included in the collection is a life mask of Lincoln together with a cast of his hands made by Leonard W. Volk, the sculptor. On one hand may plainly be seen a scar gained in the President's rail-splitting days.

Facsimiles of the letter to Mrs. Bixby, and the original draft of Lincolon's Thanksgiving Proclamation for 1863, are also shown with a letter to Lincoln's son, Robert Todd Lincoln '64, then in his Senior year.

Other exhibitions are the last volume of Nicholay and Hay's Life of Lincoln in the manuscript of John Hay, a volume of poems belonging to Lincoln, and playbills and programs of Ford's Theatre on the night of Lincoln's death.
