Here you are. Abe must have really ticked Charles Hanks off at some point. If I remember correctly Abe wrote a letter to John recalling the little sod busting he had done with Charles, but not much else, after the nasty letter by Charles was printed. Not positive when Abe wrote to John about Charles, and I'm not finding it readily in my files; however, here is a letter attributed as from John to Abe about the Charles Hanks letter. John didn't write that letter either. I think it was Richard Oglesby who wrote the John Hanks letters. Top of my head for that last bit.

Here is another article with testimonials for the veracity of the Charles Hanks letter.
