Herndon on Lincoln: Letters

[RJNorton]

Many thanks to Steve for sending these articles. Steve writes, "The first is from page 3 of the 05 May 1865 edition of the Illinois State Journal about a copy of Kirkham's Grammar presented to Robert Rutledge by Abraham Lincoln. The second is from page 2 of the 09 May 1865 edition of the Illinois State Journal, publishing a letter from 06 May 1865, sent by Robert to the newspaper correcting the earlier article by saying the book was given in New Salem, not Petersburg, and that it had originally been given to his older sister Ann by Lincoln."
