Mr Hannah
My Dear Sir:
I wrote to Judge Scott a few days since, requesting of him some favors. I asked him to show you this letter, which I suppose he did. I want you and Mr Scott, if you please, to collect such facts of Mr Lincoln as you know to be true or justly believe to be true and to send to me. I don't care where the Events happened or the facts took place [nor?] when. Give me such facts as illustrate his character - mind - heart- soul. Let the facts be [law - ming?] on Love. Mr Lincoln long practiced in your Co. and with you; and must have left many foot prints on your shores. Give me any facts or [pitches] - Religion - Law - or Love-anything.
May I say to you that I am scribbling
away on Mr Lincoln's life and want the facts for that purpose. Give me anything about his customs - habits - methods - policies- etc. in Religion - Law-Politics - philosophy - literature-art etc I don't care what.
Hannah - Please accommodate mankind
Your Friend
