Abraham Lincoln, (1809 - 1865), the 16th President of the United States of America.
A Bloomington attorney and Lincoln scholar has given an 1854 letter Lincoln wrote to a Peoria attorney to the Abraham Lincoln Library and Presidential Museum in Springfield.
Guy Fraker said the missive is a response to Ian Powell s message to Lincoln that Lincoln s attempt to gain a U.S. Senate seat was illegal. At the time, state lawmakers chose senators. Lincoln was in the Statehouse and Fraker said he would have been voting for himself. Powell was a Whig and a political ally of Lincoln s. Powell advised him he d better resign from the House of Representatives. And so he said, and I love this little twist that he added in there. He said, Acting on your advice and my own judgment. In other words, he was not willing to admit entirely that he didn t know that, said Fraker.
