One day Lincoln’s two sons held a solemn court martial in which a soldier doll named Jack was found guilty of desertion, and sentenced to death by firing squad. But since that would require his burial in the Rose Garden and the anger of the gardener, that wanted “Paw” to solve their problem.
So the President of the United States of America interrupted what was probably a very crowded day and drew out a sheet of Executive Mansion stationary and wrote the following: “The Doll Jack is pardoned by order of the President.” And he signed it “A. Lincoln.”
