Alexr. W. Harvey, Esq Springfield, Ills.
Dear Sir March 14, 1860

Your despach of the 27th. ult. to Mr. Greely, asking if you could not have a speech from me on my return, was forwarded to me by Mr. G. reaching me at Exeter N.H.

The appointments I had then already made carried me so far beyond my allotted time that I could not consistently add another.

I hope I may yet be allowed to meet the good people of Buffalo before the close of the struggle in which we are engaged. Yours Respectfully A. LINCOLN
