Abraham Lincoln - The Papers And Writings Of Abraham Lincoln-VOL. V (Chap. 1.24) lyrics

To H. C. Whitney Springfield, November 30, 1858 H. C. WHITNEY, ESQ. MY DEAR SIR:—Being desirous of preserving in some permanent form the late joint discussion between Douglas and myself, ten days ago I wrote to Dr. Ray, requesting him to forward to me by express two sets of the numbers of the Tribune which contain the reports of those discussions. Up to date I have no word from him on the subject. Will you, if in your power, procure them and forward them to me by express? If you will, I will pay all charges, and be greatly obliged, to boot. Hoping to visit you before long, I remain As ever your friend, A. LINCOLN.
