On Lincoln's Scrap Book

To H. C. Whitney

SPRINGFIELD, December 25, 1858

H. C. WHITNEY, ESQ.

MY DEAR SIR:—I have just received yours of the 23rd inquiring whether I received the newspapers you sent me by express. I did receive them, and am very much obliged. There is some probability that my scrap-book will be reprinted, and if it shall, I will save you a copy.
Your friend as ever,

A. LINCOLN.
