B. F. James, Esq Springfield, Ills.
My dear Sir Sep. 26. 1860

I have now had your kind letter for near a month, without answering it. Nor have I much to communicate, even now, beyond, what you know quite as well as I, by the public prints. So far as I have private information, the prospect for the election looks quite encouraging.

Please make my respects to Mrs. J. and Louis; and also to your Father. Your friend as ever A. LINCOLN
