B. F. James, Esq. Springfield, Ills.
My dear Sir: Aug. 31. 1860

Your kind letter of congratulation, dated the 27th. was duly received. How time gallops along with us! Look at these great big boys of yours and mine, when it is but yesterday that we and their mothers were unmarried.

Make my respects to Mrs. James & Louis, and believe me Yours as ever A. LINCOLN---
