Roger,

I am going to try this again. I don't think it posted.
Stephens boarded down the street from Lincoln so he was not at Mrs. Spriggs'. The others who boarded and shared mess with Lincoln are: PA Reps John Blanchard, John Dickey, A.R. McIlvaine, James Pollock, John Strohn; IN Rep Elisha Embree (d. 1863 so that leaves him out); MS Rep P.W. Tompkins; OH Rep Joshua R. Giddings. Also there were Gen. Duff Green, journalist Nathan Sargent, and Dr. C.S. Busey. So, I don't know who it might be.
