Hon Abram Lincoln
Dr Sir – It has been publicly stated in this place that you endorse the Fugitive Slave Law of 1850, as constitutional in its object, & in its provisions in All Respects– You would would confer a favour upon the writer of this as well as upon many Republicans hereabouts by briefly giving your views upon the matter.
Yours Very Truly
A. J. Grover
