[On margin of Lincoln's speech on Henry Clay in Huntington Library
Herndon wrote: "A public meeting chose Mr. Lincoln to address
it—July 1st." Despite Logan's selection June 30, 1852, this
point gains credence from Lincoln's delivery of Clay eulogy. Choice
of Logan, not the favorite orator of Sangamon Whigs, may have been
courtesy, intending that he hand assignment to Lincoln.]
