Laurie's daughter took a photo of Abraham Lincoln!

Eva, I think most historians feel Lincoln was repaying this debt well into the 1840's, so I think it's certainly likely he was still paying in 1842. I have never seen a price for the ring. In fact there is so little known that I don't even think there's actual proof it was purchased from Chatterton's - just an assumption that is basically universal among authors. (I may be wrong on this, but I don't think I have ever seen 100% proof the ring was purchased there.)
