The Papers And Writings Of Abraham Lincoln-VOL. V (Chap 1.4) lyrics
by Abraham Lincoln
To A. Campbell
Springfield, June 28, 1858
A. CAMPBELL, Esq.
MY DEAR SIR:—In 1856 you gave me authority to draw on you for any sum not exceeding five hundred dollars. I see clearly that such a privilege would be more available now than it was then. I am aware that times are tighter now than they were then. Please write me at all events, and whether you can now do anything or not I shall continue grateful for the past.
Yours very truly,
A. LINCOLN.
