To Henry C. Whitney1Jump to section

Dear Whitney: Springfield, July 9. 1856

I now expect to go to Chicago on the 15th., and I probably shall remain there, and thereabouts, for about two weeks.

It turned me blind when I first heard Swett was beaten, and Love-joy nominated;2Jump to section but after much anxious reflection, I really believe it is best to let it stand. This, of course, I wish to be confidential.

Lamon did get your Deeds. I went with him to the office, got them, and put them in his hand myself. Yours very truly

A. LINCOLN---
