         <p> Lincoln franks letter from M. S. Marsh to his brother in New Hampshire.
            Marsh writes that Lincoln is very careless in leaving office open and unattended, and
            that he could have charged double postage he marked on cover of recent letter. But
            Lincoln, says Marsh, would not have done that even if he had noticed incorrect
               amount.<bibl default='NO'>Photocopy.</bibl>
