The Papers And Writings Of Abraham Lincoln-VOL. II (Chap. 4.3) lyrics
by Abraham Lincoln
To N. J. Rockwell.
Springfield, January 21, 1846
DEAR SIR:—You perhaps know that General Hardin and I have a contest for the Whig nomination for Congress for this district.
He has had a turn and my argument is "turn about is fair play."
I shall be pleased if this strikes you as a sufficient argument.
Yours truly,
A. LINCOLN.
