NEW YORK -- Abraham Lincoln's heartfelt reply to a group of youngsters who asked him to free America's "little slave children" has sold for $3.4 million.Sotheby's auction house said Thursday that the 1864 letter set a record for a Lincoln manuscript, as well as for any presidential and American manuscript. It was purchased by an American private collector bidding over the telephone. Lincoln's hand-penned reply is contained in a letter to a woman who mailed the children's petition from Concord, Mass. In it, Lincoln says: "Please tell these little people I am very glad their young hearts are so full of just and generous sympathy."
