Description

From the seller
Up for sale is an original handwritten letter signed by George Opdyke, the Civil War-era Mayor of New York City. Dated Feb 11, 1862, this letter was written shortly after he took office. Opdyke was a key ally to Abraham Lincoln and famously led NYC through the 1863 Draft Riots.
