Lincoln replied that his friends had decided that he remain in Springfield during thecanvass, but that if Hesler would come to Springfield he would be dressed up and givehim all the time he wanted. Hesler went to Springfield and made at least four negatives,three of which are supposed to have been destroyed in the Chicago fire. The fourth isowned by Mr. George Ayers of Philadelphia. The above photograph is a print from one ofthe lost negatives. 126 A
