The following transcript has been adapted from the Abraham Lincoln Papers at the Library of Congress.
New York, March 4.
Dear Sir,
The sour Weather has spoiled This Celebration, so I send you my Badge. It is prettily got up, though with by no means a flattered reflex of our President.
I learn that "[ illegible] Robinson" is boring for a Judgeship. He is a second Edition of Judge White.
The reply to the Committee of Congress, informing of your re-election, is not only the neatest but the most pregnant and effective use to which the English Language was ever put.
Very Truly Yours
Thurlow Weed
