Abraham Lincoln - The Papers And Writings Of Abraham Lincoln-VOL. III (Chap. 7) lyrics

Mr. Lincoln To Mr. Douglas. Springfield, July 31, 1858. Hon. S. A. Douglas: Dear Sir,—Yours of yesterday, naming places, times, and terms for joint discussions between us, was received this morning. Although, by the terms, as you propose, you take four openings and closes, to my three, I accede, and thus close the arrangement. I direct this to you at Hillsborough, and shall try to have both your letter and this appear in the Journal and Register of Monday morning. Your obedient servant, A. LINCOLN.
