Lincoln, Abraham (1809-1865), Fine autograph letter signed, one page, dated Springfield, July 27, 1860, to Judge David Davis requesting that the Judge arrange a bond for his son Robert, then attending Harvard, (very good). Text in full: "Dear Judge, Your two letters were received last night - Wentworth had already been invited, and Wilson will now be. Have not seen Logan yet; but will, and write you again./ A different matter - Bob has got in at Harvard, and sends me a blank bond, which he says must be signed by me, and some citizen of Massachusetts. The condition is for the payment of all college dues. If you can conscientiously do so, will please write our friend, Julius Rockwell, that he can safely sign the bond with me, yours as ever, A. Lincoln."
