After considering your proposed changes on page 7, I do not think
them material, but I am willing to defer to you in relation to them.
On page 9, striking out "_to us_" is probably right--The word
"_lawyer's"_ I wish retained. The word "_Courts"_ struck out twice,
I wish reduced to "Court" and retained--"Court" as a collection more
properly governs the plural "have" as I understand--"The" preceding
"Court," in the latter case, must also be retained--The words
"quite," "as," and "or" on the same page, I wish retained. The
italicising, and quotation marking, I have no objection to.
As to the note at bottom, I do not think any too much is
admitted--What you propose on page 11 is right--I return your copy
of the speech, together with one printed here, under my own hasty
supervising. That at New York was printed without any supervision by
me--If you conclude to publish a new edition, allow me to see the
proof-sheets.
And now thanking you for your very complimentary letter, and your
interest for me generally, I subscribe myself.
Your friend and servant,
A. Lincoln.
69 Wall Street, New York.
August 28, 1860.
