Terre Haute, Ind. Sept. 16th. 1887

My Dear Sir,

My version of the amusing incident to which you refer, is substantially told in the enclosed slip ^[1] from the T.H. Express of several years ago.

Mr. Lincoln used to tell the story with many ludicrous variations.

Very Truly Yours
Thomas H. Nelson
