Booklet entitled "Lincoln's Last Hours" by Charles A. Leale, M.D., sixteen pages, 6 x 9.25, containing his address delivered before the Commandery of the State of New York, Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States, at the regular meeting in February 1909, in observance of the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of President Abraham Lincoln.
