A penned inscription on a separate proof sheet of the dedication page of vol. 2 of Neumann's Geschichte der Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika (Berlin: Carl Heymann's Verlag, 1866; Paris, London, New-York also) reads: "To Mrs. Lincoln. Hommage from the Historian of the United States, Karl Fried. Neumann. Berlin Sept. 2, 1865." The printed dedication reads "An Abraham Lincoln, Praesidenten der Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika."
