The Lincolns in Kentucky -Video

Rob, it appears to me that the letter referenced is the original source for the duplicate tickets story. If it is not too much work then I would love it if you can find it. The text of the letter is on p. 161 of Reinhard H. Luthin's Lincoln’s First Campaign. I do not have that book, and I cannot find a searchable web source for that particular publication (including the Internet Archive). Luthin's book is the source used by Gary Ecelbarger.
