Job offer from the NY Herald
Ok, this is me being lazy.

In 1956, Robert Hansenr wrote an article titled "Mr. Lincoln visits Richmond" in which he claims that the NY Herald posted a humorous job offer for Lincoln as a war correspondent after Lincoln had started sending dispatches from City Point.

Sadly, Hanser did not give an edition and I have now gone through two full issues from the week in question without luck.
My eyes are getting tired and I was wondering if anybody happens to know the date on which this was posted?

The quote Hanser used is "at a salary of one hundred dollars a week, his rations and a fresh horse every six months".

In case of emergency, Lincoln and children first.
