Springfield, Ill., Feb. 1, 1861.

Messrs. Benj. Eggleston, Charles L. Moore and A. McAlpin:

Gentlemen: Yours of to-day, communicating two resolutions--- one of a Citizens' Meeting, and the other [of] the City Council, both of the City of Cincinnati, and inviting me to make that city a [stopping] point on my way to Washington---is received. With my grateful acknowledgments to the citizens, City Council and yourselves, gentlemen, I accept the kind invitation, with the understanding, however, that all ceremonies which would occupy much time, must be dispensed with. Your obedient servant,

A. LINCOLN.
