Wednesday, June 21, 1837.Springfield, IL. | Lincoln's second "Sampson's Ghost" letter is written from "Fork Prairie."
He defends Dr. A. G. Henry and asks Adams how he procured his home lots. "Sampson" says
he always wrote his own name and any instrument not written with his own hand, which
affects his interest, is forgery.Sangamo Journal, 24 June 1837. |
