Rare pass to Lincoln's White House funeral

Rare pass to the White House funeral for the fallen President Abraham Lincoln, printed on a heavy white 5 x 3.25 card with black mourning border, reading: "East. Admit the Bearer to the Executive Mansion, On Wednesday, the 19th of April, 1865." In fine condition. The funeral service took place in the East Room of the White House, with the Lincolns' pastor, Dr. Gurley, giving the funeral address and Bishop Simpson, who would later deliver the funeral address in Springfield, offering a prayer. A scarce and sought-after funeral memento.
