Abraham Lincoln - The Papers And Writings Of Abraham Lincoln-VOL. II (Chap. 4.1) lyrics

Request For Political Support To Dr. Robert Boal. Springfield, January 7, 1846"turn about is fair play." This he, practically at least, denies. If it would not be taxing you too much, I wish you would write me, telling the aspect of things in your country, or rather your district; and also, send the names of some of your Whig neighbors, to whom I might, with propriety, write. Unless I can get some one to do this, Hardin, with his old franking list, will have the advantage of me. My reliance for a fair shake (and I want nothing more) in your country is chiefly on you, because of your position and standing, and because I am acquainted with so few others. Let me hear from you soon. Yours truly, A. LINCOLN.
