To L. Montgomery Bond of Philadelphia Lincoln explains his attitude

judge by my published speeches, than by anything I would say in a 
short letter." In evening Lincoln visits Wigwam, where Thomas Corwin

years, at the cross-road voting place, in the fall of 1844. It is now 
sixteen years more and we are both no longer young men. I suppose you 
are a grandfather; and I, though married much later in life, have a 
son nearly grown." He tells William S. Speer of Tennessee that 
anything he might write disclaiming intention of interfering with 
slaves in slave states "would do no good." He has already many times
