Follett, Foster & Co. Publishers, Printers and Book-Binders Columbus, Ohio June 26, 1858 Dear friend, We forward you herewith a copy of Mr Giddings new work, the Exiles of Florida. The work is firmly historical and by disclosing the objects and causes of the Florida Way, in which so much blood and treasure have been expended, it is hoped by the author in some degree to elevate, and purify the political morality of the country. The facts are drawn from reliable sources in most cases from the archives at Washington - and whatever view the reader may have of the authors purposes we think he will readily agree that there is a charm in the work rarely found in historical publications. We hope your time will admit of your giving the book a discriminating examination, and shall be pleased to receive your impressions of its probable usefulness. We think that its wide circulation will do much toward the tearing down of the "Democracy" Your very Respy Follett Foster & Co. Hon. Abram Lincoln. Springfield - Ill [*922*] FOLLETT, FOSTER & CO.
