Trivia Question

[Ray McKoski]

On February 12, 1849, Abraham Lincoln wrote to his friend Judge David Davis thanking Davis for his letter of January 24, because it was only the second letter that Lincoln received during his term as Congressman that inquired about Lincoln’s personal wellbeing. (A sad commentary in itself.) Below is a section of the letter. Who was the second person who wrote to Lincoln inquiring about Lincoln personally? I don’t know. Does anyone know or can anyone make an educated guess who that second letter was from?

“Your letter of the 24th Jany. is received; and I have more cause to thank you for it, than you would suppose. Out of more than three hundred letters received this session, yours is the second one manifesting the least interest for me personally.” (Lincoln to David Davis, February 12, 1849)
