[Special session of Illinois legislature adjourns.] About this date 
the Lincolns must have left for home. Orville H. Browning, in his 
Diary, describes eight-day trip from Lexington to Quincy, Illinois, 
in summer of 1850. The Lincolns doubtless spend about same time to 
get from Lexington to Springfield.

Lincoln answers Lucas' letter: "I regret that the elections in the 
states have gone so badly; but I think there is some reason for 
hoping that this year has been the administration's 'darkest hour.' 
The appointments were it's most difficult task. . . . These are 
pretty much through with, and next we can get on grounds of 
<uLine>measures</uLine>&#8212;policy&#8212;where we can unite &amp; 
rally again. At least, I hope so." Learning that Simeon Francis has 
not been appointed secretary of Oregon, or anything else, he 
telegraphs Secretary Ewing that he "most anxiously" desires Francis 
appointed Oregon surveyor general.
