Abraham Lincoln - The Papers And Writings Of Abraham Lincoln-VOL. II (Chap. 11.5) lyrics

Request For Senate Support To Charles Hoyt Clinton, De Witt Co., Nov. 10, 1854 DEAR SIR:—You used to express a good deal of partiality for me, and if you are still so, now is the time. Some friends here are really for me for the U.S. Senate, and I should be very grateful if you could make a mark for me among your members. Please write me at all events, giving me the names, post-offices, and "political position" of members round about you. Direct to Springfield. Let this be confidential. Yours truly, A. LINCOLN.
