Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from To Commemorate the Debate of Abraham Lincoln and Anthony Thornton on Freedom of Territories, June 15, 1856, in Old Court House, Shelbyville, Illinois
I have your note about a souvenir of the Shelby County Lin coln boulder, in memory of Lincoln's great speech in June, 1856, in the Old Court House in Shelbyville. I think it a good idea, and I would take pleasure in getting it up in such shape as to reflect credit on the occurrences and embalm the memory of the stirring events of that time, and of the men who so well acted their part.
