Dear Marquis
I hope this letter finds you
in good health and state
I'm doing fine
Although I wish there were
more hours in the day
It's just so much to do
Time's changing slowly
but surely,and it's men like you
that will make a difference
Your military success was a credit
not only to you,but your races as well
I 'm very proud everytime
I hear news of you
We still have a long way to go
by hand in hand
I know we'll get there
I just want to let you know
you're in my thoughts
Hopefully our paths will cross in the future
Untill then, I remain your friend
Oh Mary Todd's calling
So I guess it must be time for bed
Respectfully, Abraham Lincoln
