To Orville H. Browning1Jump to section

O. H. Browning, Esq Springfield,
My dear Sir June 22, 1858.

Mrs. Macready2Jump to section has appeared here again this morning; and it now occurs to me as strange that I did not think to ask you whether you can surely be on hand at the next term, if we continue the case till then. Can you? Answer as soon as possible, after receiving this. If you can possibly be here at this term say so, and about what day; but I understood you that probably you can not be here again at this term. Yours truly A LINCOLN---
