Letter to Professor Gardner

SPRINGFIELD, ILL., September 28, 1860.

Dear Sir: Some specimens of your Soap have been used at our house and Mrs. L. declares it is a superior article. She at the same time protests that I have never given sufficient attention to the “soap question” to be a competent judge.                                     Yours very truly,

A. LINCOLN.
