Replies to Brainerd's request to sign some printings of Abraham Lincoln's address at the Cooper Institute 27 February 1860, and asks where he would like the signatures to be placed. Remarks that the reprint looks much like the original. Admires Brainerd for getting the printing done at no cost. States that he has heard from Ira Brainerd's father, Cephas Brainerd, who seems fine, but he wrote to Ira to get the truth as Cephas is always so optimistic. Asks him to send another copy of the printing as the cover was ripped on the one he received. Advises him to not put the "Explanatory Note" inside the cover as the cover is brittle and the note is heavier, which will cause the cover to rip. See GLC04177.02 for a signed copy of this printing.
