PRIVATE
O. Follett, Esq Springfield, Ills.
Dear Sir: June 18. 1860

Your long letter of the 9th. was received only this morning. I write this to acknowledge the receipt of yours; to thank you for the interest you take in the cause; and to say that I previously had had my attention turned in the same direction. Yours very truly

A LINCOLN
