Pretty tricky, here, since the letter in question was stolen between 1880-1940, and donated this week back to the government.
"It was ripped from the pages of his Treasury secretary's correspondence and bought at auction by a collector who waited for Lincoln's bicentennial year to donate it." (http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=104679055)
And why would the thief buy the stolen article himself?
