Abraham Lincoln - The Papers And Writings Of Abraham Lincoln-VOL. V (Chap. 3.29) lyrics

To Hannibal Hamlin (Private) Springfield, Illinois, December 8, 1860 HON. HANNIBAL HAMLIN. DEAR SIR:—Yours of the 4th was duly received. The inclosed to Governor Seward covers two notes to him, copies of which you find open for your inspection. Consult with Judge Trumbull; and if you and he see no reason to the contrary, deliver the letter to Governor Seward at once. If you see reason to the contrary write me at once. I have an intimation that Governor Banks would yet accept a place in the Cabinet. Please ascertain and write me how this is, Yours very truly, A. LINCOLN.
