Springfield, Illinois, June 27, 1856.

My Dear Sir: Allow me to thank you for your kind notice of me in the Philadelphia Convention.

When you meet Judge Dayton present my respects, and tell him I think him a far better man than I for the position he is in, and that I shall support both him and Colonel Fremont most cordially. Present my best respects to Mrs. Van Dyke, and believe me. Yours truly,

A. LINCOLN.
