To Peter H. Watson1Jump to section
My dear Sir: Reaching here the 14th, I found yours of the 7th. I have not heard from Haines for some time, and until I do hear from him I can say nothing definite about taking evidence. When I hear from him I will write you. Yours truly, A. LINCOLN.
Annotation
[1] Tracy, p. 105. This letter is undated in the source, but Peter H. Watson's letter of May 7, 1859, asking when and where Lincoln will commence taking depositions, establishes the date (DLC-RTL). See also Lincoln to Watson, March 2, supra.
