Bill, I don't know, but I checked Pratt's book on Lincoln's finances, and it says David Davis (administrator of Lincoln's estate) found that Lincoln had not deposited (or cashed) his last four salary checks. Davis took them to Springfield and deposited them in an account he opened in the Springfield Marine and Fire Insurance Company.

Roger: from what you say about the undeposited checks- it sounds like the last check as pictured May not be signed.
