[Lincoln Wonk]

On August 4, 1845, Abraham Lincoln had to have his buggy repaired. What was the amount of the repair bill?

Roger, I'm stymied on the repair bill, but I do know how President Lincoln was able to read bills. When he was 48, he purchased his first pair of reading glasses at a jewelry store for 37 ½ cents.
