The Papers And Writings Of Abraham Lincoln-VOL. V (Chap. 3.13)
To S. Haycraft
Springfield, Ill., June 4, 1860
HON. SAMUEL HAYCRAFT.
MY DEAR SIR:—Like yourself I belonged to the old Whig party from its origin to its close. I never belonged to the American party organization, nor ever to a party called a Union party; though I hope I neither am or ever have been less devoted to the Union than yourself or any other patriotic man.
Yours very truly,
A. LINCOLN.
