Elizabeth Ind. Sept. 16 1865. Sir: After you left my house, I found a law Book, I suppose the first law book that Lincoln ever saw. [2] I was acting constable at that time, is the way I got the book in my possession. The way I happened to find it was hunting for two books that Lincoln used to read a great deal while at my house; "Sinabad the Sailor" and "Scotts lessons," [3] they were entitled; those two I could not find. Very Respectfully, Yours Huntington Library: LN2408, 1:180
