Partly-printed DS as president, one page, 7.5 x 9.5, June 13, 1863. President Lincoln authorizes and directs "the Secretary of State to affix the Seal of the United States to a Warrant for the pardon of Daniel Dusky and Jacob Varner." Neatly signed at the conclusion by President Lincoln. Matted and framed to an overall size of 11.75 x 13.75. In fine condition, with very faint toning along the two folds. Both members of the 'Moccasin Rangers,' a southern-sympathizing band of marauders in West Virginia during the Civil War, Daniel Dusky and Jacob Varner had been convicted of robbing the mail in Jackson County in April 1862. A desirable pardon warrant signed by Lincoln amidst the Civil War.
