         <p>Republican presidential nominee
  Lincoln writes to his longtime friend Dr. Anson G. Henry, formerly of
  Springfield, Illinois, and currently living in Oregon. Lincoln is cautiously
  optimistic that the Republican Party will win the presidency, especially
  considering the conflicts within the Democratic Party. He writes, "I think the
  chances were more than equal that we could have beaten the Democracy
  <uLine>united</uLine>. Divided, as it is, it's chance appears indeed very slim.
  But great is Democracy in resources; and it may yet give it's fortunes a turn."
  Lincoln closes with news about his sons Willie and Robert, and writes, "Our boy
  [Willie]...has just had a hard and tedious spell of scarlet-fever; and he is
  not yet beyong all danger. I have a head-ache, and a sore throat upon me now,
  inducing me to suspect that I have an inferior type of the same thing. Our
  eldest boy, Bob, has been away from us nearly a year at school, and will enter
  Harvard University this month. He promises very well, considering we never
  controlled him much." <bibl default='NO'>

  political ally Cassius M. Clay, of Kentucky, and thanks him for campaigning in
  Indiana on Lincoln's behalf. "At the close of the tour," Lincoln asks Clay to
  "drop me a line, giving your impression of our prospects in that state."
  Lincoln suggests that Clay would aid the campaign by speaking in Illinois, and
  proposes that Clay "commenc[e] say, at Marshall, in Clark county, and thence
  South and West, along our Wabash and Ohio river border." Lincoln adds, "In
