To Thomas Doney1

Thomas Doney, Esq Springfield, Ills.
My dear Sir: July 30, 1860

The picture (I know not the artistic designation) was duly and thankfully received. I consider it a very excellent one; though, truth to say, I am a very indifferent judge.

The receipt of it should have been acknowledged long ago; but it had passed from my mind till reminded of it by the letter of our friend, Dr. Dodson.2 Yours very truly A. LINCOLN

Annotation

[1]   ALS, ORB. Thomas Doney was an engraver at Elgin, Illinois.

[2]   There is no letter from Dr. Dodson in the Lincoln Papers, but Lincoln probably referred to Dr. B. E. Dodson of Dundee, Illinois.
