35. Joshua F. Speed to William H. Herndon.

Dear Sir

Enclosed you have a copy of the letter you asked for —

I see by one of Lincolns letters that he made a temperance speech which was published in the Sangamon Journal in 1842 or 3. You can probably find it I wish you would do so.

Your friend &c
J. F. Speed
