My dear Sir-Really you catechise me in
true lawyer style. but feel you win have
the goodness to excuse me II l decline
answering all your questions In detail,
being well assured that few women would
have coded as much as | have under all
the circumstances.
You say you have heard why our ac-
Quaintance terminated as-it did. !, too.
have heard the same bit Of gossip. but
never used the remark which Madam Ru-
NOR says | did to Mr.. Lincoln. think
/ did on one occasion say to my sister
who was very anxious for us to be mar
ried. that thought Mr.. Lincoln was de-
fcient In those little links which make
up the chain of womans happiness-at
least II was so In my case. Not that !
believed II proceeded from a lack of good
ness OF heart but his training had been
different from mine; hence there was not
that congeniality which would otherwise
have existed.
From his own showing, you perceive
that his heart and hand were at my dis
posal and / suppose that my feelings
were not sufficiently enlisted to have the
matter consummated. About the begin
ming OF the year 1898 l left Illinois at
which time our acquaintance and corre-
spondence ceased without ever again be-
ing renewed.
My father who resided in Green coun-
ty. Ky, was a gentleman of considerable
means. and I am persuaded that few per-
sons placed a higher estimate on educa-
ton than he aid. Respectfully yours.
