The note is dated July 18th but there is no year.

The last known letter Levi wrote to Lincoln was dated September 12, 1864.

Apparently, someone did some hasity research, published the incorrect date, and another Todd family myth was born. The problem is that we can not seem to get rid of the myths.
Somewhere in my files is a copy of Levi's obit from the Lexington newspaper -- but I can't find it at the moment.

You wouldn't happen to have found your copy of Levi's obit, would you? It is driving me mad not being able to find one. I would look in your book about the Todd graves, but it has gone on walkabout.
