The Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum is in my county board district. I'm not going around claiming credit for it.

If I have to be typecast, I'd like it to be as Abraham Lincoln.

My dear Sir.
Yours of the 13th. is just received. My engagements are such that I can not, at any very early day, visit Rock-Island, to deliver a lecture, or for any other object.
As to the other matter you kindly mention, I must, in candor, say I do not think myself fit for the Presidency. I certainly am flattered, and gratified, that some partial friends think of me in that connection; but I really think it best for our cause that no concerted effort, such as you suggest, should be made.
Let this be considered confidential. Yours very truly,
{Abraham Lincoln}

Upon the subject of education, not presuming to dictate any plan or system respecting it, I can only say that I view it as the most important subject which we as a people can be engaged in.

Women are the only people I am afraid of who I never thought would hurt me

As a schoolboy, I read most of Carl Sandburg's six-volume biography of Abraham Lincoln.
