RE: Where did the Lincolns live after the Globe Tavern?
Roger,

For the past year or so I've had a researcher going through the Beveridge papers in the Library of Congress for my Tarbell project. Nothing from Jacob Thompson (she's going through them alphabetically and just got through the "S's"). It will be a while (likely a couple of weeks at the earliest) before I will send her back. At that time I wouldn't mind having her copy that letter for me.

I did a quick search of Beveridge's book and he mentions the house on Fourth Street but, ironically, doesn't cite a source. I say ironically because Beveridge generally fetishized footnotes, in part because of his intense dislike for Tarbell's methods.

No access to the Illinois State Journal, however.

Best
Rob
