To Solomon Sturges1

Mr. Solomon Sturges Springfield,
Dear Sir: April 14, 1860

Yours of the 9th. is received; and, allow me to say, I should not disagree with you in many of the opinions therein expressed.

Whether I shall be able to attend the Chicago convention, I have not yet determined; and so, of course, I can not yet say whether I can accept your very kindly proffered hospitality. Yours very truly

A. LINCOLN
