Abraham Lincoln - The Papers And Writings Of Abraham Lincoln-VOL. II (Chap. 11.6) lyrics

To T. J. Henderson Springfield, November 27, 1854 T. J. Henderson, ESQ MY DEAR SIR:—It has come round that a whig may, by possibility, be elected to the United States Senate, and I want the chance of being the man. You are a member of the Legislature, and have a vote to give. Think it over, and see whether you can do better than to go for me. Write me, at all events; and let this be confidential. Yours truly, A. LINCOLN.
