The document is an Extract from Minuets Special Meeting Executive Committee authorizing the Acting President to sell shares in St. Paul and Duluth Railroad Company. With blind-embossed company seal. Edge wear and some soiling. In 1862, Edwin M. Stanton, the new Secretary of War, appointed Thomas Eckert as chief of the War Department telegraph office. An aggressive and able leader with a great deal of pre-war telegraph experience, Eckhart was largely credited with ensuring that the telegraph was successfully utilized by Union forces in the field. Throughout the war years, President Lincoln was a regular visitor to Eckerts office, and the two men quickly became close friends and confidants. The bond between the two was so great that Eckert was to attend Our American Cousin as Lincoln's bodyguard, but was not allowed to do so by Stanton. Instead, he found himself among the grieving few that stood by the dying president at the Peterson House later that tragic evening.
