Annotation

[1] NH, IX, 91. See Lincoln's memorandum and letter to Morris, supra. A different version of this letter to Usher appears in Illinois Reports (1865) I, 312, as follows:

``Hon. Interior Secretary:

``Illinois has again presented her claim for the two per cent. I do not think it very gracious in her to do so at this time of our National troubles. My opinion of the law has undergone no change. I think the law is with the State. I therefore desire you to take up the case and act upon it as you may think the law is.

``A. LINCOLN.''
