Dear Doctor: Springfield, Nov. 2. 1859

Your business makes it convenient for you to do a good deal in the way of getting all our friends to the polls next Tuesday. Please do it. We begin to hope we can elect Palmer.2Jump to section He is a good man, and deserves to be elected, both for his own, and the cause's sake.

Yours truly A. LINCOLN
