Lincoln asks C. H. Ray of Chicago Tribune to send him two copies of
papers containing reports of debates—he wants to preserve them
in scrap book. "I believe, according to a letter of yours to Hatch
you are 'feeling like h-ll yet.' Quit that. You will soon feel
better. Another 'blow-up' is coming; and we shall have fun again."
"The fight must go on," he tells M. M. Inman. With O. M. Hatch and
Jesse K. Dubois, he signs letter to Newton Bateman, elected
superintendent of education November 2, 1858, requesting help in
paying off party debt.
