“But he was a lawyer with a difference. He became a skilled lawyer but remained a good man. Here is a letter which sums him up: Springfield, Illinois
21 February 1856
To Mr. George P. Floyd,
Quincy, Illinois Dear Sir, I have just received yours of 16th, with check on Flagg & Savage for twenty-five dollars. You must think I am a high-priced man. You are too liberal with your money. Fifteen dollars is enough for the job. I send you a receipt for fifteen dollars, and return to you a ten-dollar bill. Yours truly,
A. Lincoln I would like this letter framed and hung on the partners’ desks of every law firm in the country.”
