Very logical Roger, but incorrect.
He is buried within sight of Lincoln's tomb

In regards to Wilma Minor, if Roger is going with Paul Angle, I will go with Oliver Barrett.
Steve nailed it. That's Oliver Barrett. He was a lawyer like Lincoln. Also, he and Tarbell were the only people that Sandburg allowed to read the entire manuscript of "Abraham Lincoln: The Prairie Years" before it was published.

No Googling, please.
In 1948, Carl Sandburg received a letter from a young historian discussing a picture of a particular person associated with Lincoln. In the letter, this historian quoted at length from a letter sent by a third person also associated with Lincoln. The third person wrote the second, "I want your Photograph--I want it at once--There is use in your saying you 'will probably send it to me--'I must have it--I cant do without it and I don't intend to do without it."
To be correct, first, who is the young historian and second, who are the two people involved in the letter?

I'll guess David Herbert Donald as the young historian.
Bingo Roger! You've got 1/3 of it.

Guess I better give a clue.
The person who hadn't provided a photograph said he was afraid that his "Pfiz" would break the camera.

Have the people been mentioned on this forum?
Yes they have, Roger.

Were either of the two letter writers personally associated with Lincoln?
Was their a romantic connection between the second and third letter writers?
Quote:Were either of the two letter writers personally associated with Lincoln?
Yes.

No.
Clue: The person from whom the photo was wanted told the letter writer that he had never had a photo taken before.

Clue: Think about the aforementioned historian.

If the historian is Donald, then one of the two men discussing the photo must be Herndon.
That is correct, Steve.
Now, who was the letter writer?
