[LINCOLN, Abraham (1809-1865)]. Early mention of Lincoln as member of The House of Representatives [In: National Intelligencer]. Washington: Saturday, March 11, 1848. Vol. XLIX, No: 7,053. 4 pp. on newsprint broadsheet (each page 620 x 478 mm). Paper is toned, creased, with some foxing and light edgewear, previous owner?s signature on upper right corner of p. [1]. Lincoln is mentioned on p. [1] under the ?Reports from Committees.? heading: ?Mr. LINCOLN, from the same committee [Committee on the Post Office and Post Roads], reported a bill authorizing postmasters at county seats of justice to receive subscriptions for newspapers and periodicals, to be paid through the agency of the Post Office Department, and for other purposes. Read and committed.? This would most likely have been Lincoln?s second proposed bill as a member of the House of Representatives.
