Hon: L. Trumbull Springfield, Jany. 29. 1859
Dear Sir I have just received your late speech,2Open page in pamphlet form, sent me by yourself. I had seen, and read it, before, in a newspaper; and I really think it is a capital one.
When you can find leisure, write me your present impressions of Douglas' movements.
Our friends here from different parts of the State, in and out of the Legislature, are united, resolute, and determined; and I think it is almost certain that we shall be far better organized for 1860 than ever before.
We shall get no just apportionment; and the best we can do, (if we can even do that) is to prevent one being made, worse than the present. Yours as ever A. LINCOLN---
