In what I have now said, I think I cannot be misunderstood; and to make
myself understood is the only object of this letter.
If it suits you best not to answer this, farewell. A long life and a
merry one attend you. But, if you conclude to write back, speak as
plainly as I do. There can neither be harm nor danger in saying to me
anything you think, just in the manner you think it. My respects to your
sister.
Your friend,
LINCOLN.
LEGAL SUIT OF WIDOW v.s. Gen. ADAMS
TO THE PEOPLE.
"SANGAMON JOURNAL," SPRINGFIELD, ILL., Aug. 19, 1837.
In accordance with our determination, as expressed last week, we present
to the reader the articles which were published in hand-bill form, in
reference to the case of the heirs of Joseph Anderson vs. James Adams.
These articles can now be read uninfluenced by personal or party feeling,
and with the sole motive of learning the truth. When that is done, the
reader can pass his own judgment on the matters at issue.
We only regret in this case, that the publications were not made some
weeks before the election.
