W. Fay.” Adjacent page bears an affixed oak leaf, with Fay writing below: “Oak leaf from tree at Lincoln’s Tomb.” The stationery sheet is attached to the first free page of the leaflet entitled: Abraham Lincoln and His Last Resting Place. A leaflet published for Distribution at the National Lincoln Monument in the city of Springfield, Illinois. Printed by Authority of the state of Illinois. I believe this leaflet was printed in 1924, i can't find a date. In good condition. Fay worked as an editor for the DeKalb Review before serving as custodian of the Lincoln Tomb in Springfield, Illinois in 1921. An avid collector of Lincolniana, Fay owned 90 different portraits of Abraham Lincoln as part of his enormous collection—all of which he housed in a utility room within the Springfield Tomb.
