Dear Sir: About the 15th. by direction of Mr. Judd, I sent a letter and inclosures to him, addressed to your care; and I have not yet learned whether he received it.2Jump to section

I was in the inside of the Post-Office last evening when a mail came bringing a considerable number of your documents; and the Post-Master said to me ``These will be put in the boxes, and half will never be called for. If Trumbull would send them to me I would distribute a hundred to where he will get ten distributed this way.'' I said, shall I write this to Trumbull. He replied ``If you choose you may.'' I believe he was sincere; but you will judge of that for yourself. Yours as ever A. LINCOLN
