Dear Mr. Lincoln,
You will be glad to know that considerably more than half of the Book of the Photographs of Abraham Lincoln have already been taken. In connection with a page devoted to Mrs. Lincoln and the three sons I have thought to use the standing portrait of you which I enclose if you are willing to have me do so. Can you tell me in what year it was made? It appears to be a Brady photograph. The other portrait of yourself is from a group picture owned by Mr. McLellan made when you were in Harvard. I will greatly appreciate your kindness & trouble if you will sign these four mounted photographs for my autographed collection. I will be very glad to send copies to you if you desire them.
The photograph of Thomas I believe was made in 1861 shortly before his death. Am I right? I dont know who made it. I dont know anything about that of Willie – perhaps you have an original which might help me to locate it. I will be grateful for your trouble & will send copies of these also if you want them.
Faithfully yrs
F. H. Meserve
