@BeschlossDC He probably had to pay off one of Mary Todd's spending sprees.
@BeschlossDC He may have also cashed in his "greenbacks" as part of the same transaction.
@BeschlossDC @tomkeene
remained President till 15 April 1865; [seems check, as best as determined from photo, was written 2 days prior...?]
@BeschlossDC That’s $12,000 in today’s money!
@BeschlossDC @markpoloncarz and if the date is correct on the check ..sadly, he was shot the next day

@BeschlossDC That's quite a bit of money in those days!
