The March 8th New York Post reports that Sotheby's will be offering a letter from Abraham Lincoln which may garner the biggest bucks of any article of his that ever came up for auction. Estimates range from $3 to $5 million.
It is an 1864 letter written by Lincoln in reply to a petition to free all slave children.
"Please tell these little people I am very glad their young hearts are so full of just and generous sympathy and that, while I have not that power to grant all they ask, I trust they will remember that God has and that, as it seems, He wills to do it."
