Still uneasy about New York "Herald" article, Lincoln writes Haycraft: "My only object was to assure you that I had not, as represented by the Herald correspondent, charged you with an attempt to inveigle me into Kentucky to do me violence. I believe no such thing of you, or of Kentuckians generally; and I dislike to be represented to them as slandering them in that way." He invites Robert C. Schenck of Ohio to campaign in Illinois. "We really want you." Abraham Lincoln to Samuel Haycraft, [23 August 1860], CW, 4:99; Abraham Lincoln to Robert C. Schenck, 23 August 1860, CW, 4:99-100.
