Autograph Letter Signed, "C. Loll," in brown ink on light blue paper, January 6, 1864, Baltimore, MD, 8" x 5.25" integral sheet. The letter reads: "Balto. Jan 6/[18] 64, My Dear Charley / I am in receipt of yours of the 4th from Lancaster. I received your telegram Saturday morning and shipped the collars at once to Reading by express. The letters were already in the box when I received yours from Weisburg. I am glad to hear the mare is doing well and hope the colt continues to improve. Had a visit from Franklin today, he is here to nominate Lincoln. I enclose letter from William B. the receipt from Mr. Dierky. I continue to Remain with regards to Harry. Yours Truly, C. Loll."

An amazing letter that reflects the everyday affairs of people who were connected with the nomination of Lincoln.
