On Lincoln's Scrap Book
To H. C. Whitney
SPRINGFIELD, December 25, 1858
H. C. WHITNEY, ESQ.
MY DEAR SIR:—I have just received yours of the 23rd inquiring whether I received the newspapers you sent me by express. I did receive them, and am very much obliged. There is some probability that my scrap-book will be reprinted, and if it shall, I will save you a copy.
Your friend as ever,
A. LINCOLN.
