The Writings of Abraham Lincoln— Volume 2: 1843– 1858
Contents:
Request for a Railway Pass to R. P. Morgan Springfield, February 13, 1856.
R. P. MORGAN, ESQ.:
Says Tom to John, "Here’s your old rotten wheelbarrow. I’ve broke it usin’ on it. I wish you would mend it, ’case I shall want to borrow it this afternoon." Acting on this as a precedent, I say, "Here’s your old ’chalked hat,—I wish you would take it and send me a new one, ’case I shall want to use it the first of March."
Yours truly,
A. LINCOLN
(A ’chalked hat’ was the common term, at that time, for a railroad pass.)
