Annotation

[1] ALS copy, DLC-RTL. Although marked ``copy'' by Lincoln, the document appears because of a few transpositions and emendations to be the first draft. Giddings wrote from Chicago that Lincoln had been nominated because of his honesty and freedom from corrupt men and that he should place himself under obligations to no one.

[2] Amos Tuck, former U.S. representative (1847-1853) from Exeter, New Hampshire, who filled a speaking engagement at Springfield on May 21.
