Notebook contains newspaper clippings regarding Lincoln's speeches about his views on slavery and racial equality with added notes by Lincoln. Also present is an autograph draft or copy letter signed from Lincoln, Springfield, Illinois, to James N. Brown, 1858 October 18. Clippings date from 1854 to approximately 1864; Lincoln's notes are in ink and date from 1858. The notebook appears to have been created by Lincoln in 1858 for the use of James N. Brown; later notes are in pencil and are attributed to Brown. Clippings are glued to pages, most are folded. (52 pages with content)
