Hon A Lincoln.

Dear Sir
The Republican 
of old Livingston would like to have an 
opportunity of giving you a hearty Republican 
welcome to our county sometime this coming fall, 
and hear you discourse on Dred Scott, and 
Popular Sovreignty &c.
I have been solicited by a large number 
of citizens to request you to visit us during 
the Campaign. Our County Convention 
meets on the 21st of August.  Would it be convenient 
for you to address our citizens on 
that day.  Please answer as soon as possible 
and oblige yours respectfully 
C. J. Beattie
