Mr. C. U. Schlater: Washington
Dear Sir: Jan: 5. 1849
Your note, requesting my ``signature with a sentiment'' was received, and should have been answered long since, but that it was mislaid. I am not a very sentimental man; and the best sentiment I can think of is, that if you collect the signatures of all persons who are no less distinguished than I, you will have a very undistinguishing mass of names. Very respectfully
A. LINCOLN
