RE: Where did the Lincolns live after the Globe Tavern?
The problem with going through the Barton papers is that the correspondence is separated by year and not by the recipient or the sender. There are 11 boxes of correspondence, not to mention the correspondence that is stored with various typescripts as well as others throughout the collection. I hired a researcher in Chicago and he started to go through and photograph the correspondence files. He quit five hours later after getting through the fourth folder of the first box.

Abraham Lincoln is the only man, dead or alive, with whom I could have spent five years without one hour of boredom.
