Springfield, Nov. 28.
1859
Hon. L. Trumbull.
My dear Sir: Yours
of the 23rd. is received. I agree with you entirely about the contemplated
election of Forney. Nothing could be more
short-sighted than to place so strong a man as Forney in position to keep
Douglas on foot. I know nothing of Forney personally; but I would put no man in
position to help our enemies in the point of our hardest strain.
There is nothing new here. I have written merely to give my
view about this Forney business.
Yours as ever
A. LINCOLN
