Note from page 640: 1. Nelson's clipping from the Terre Haute, Indiana, Express is missing, but the text was printed in Herndon's biography and is included below. Nelson confirmed in a January 29, 1890, letter to Jesse W. Weik (Library of Congress: Herndon-Weik Collection. Manuscript Division. Library of Congress. Washington, D.C. 4690 — 91) that the story told in the biography was accurate.
