"Meeting Lincoln - Original letters describing encounters with the 16th President of the United States." A series of books by men who had an encounter with Lincoln. Most are handwritten but this example from Vol. C (last name begins with C) is typed -

It pleases me greatly to know that even actual Zouaves had trouble spelling "Zouave."

Thanks for a great find, Mike.

LOL. Many of the handwritten remembrances are difficult to read. The men were of old age at the time of publication and their hands were shaky.

What great letterhead, as well. The motto though would get one in trouble today.
