The life of Abraham Lincoln : drawn from original sources and containing many speeches, letters, and telegrams hitherto unpublished, and illustrated with many reproductions from original paintings, photographs, etc. . In his habits of reading and study the boy had little en-couragement from his father, but his stepmother did all shecould for him. Indeed, between the two there soon grew up arelation of touching gentleness and confidence. In one of theinterviews a biographer of Mr. Lincoln sought with her be-fore her death, Mrs. Lincoln said : I induced my husband to permit Abe to read and study athome, as well as at school. At first he was not easily recon-ciled to it, but finally he too seemed willing to encourage himto a certain extent. Abe was a dutiful son to me always, andwe took particular care when he was reading not to disturbhim—would let him read on and on till he quit of his ownaccord. This consideration of his stepmother won the boysconfidence, and he rarely copied anything that he did not takeit to her to read, asking her opinion of it; and often, whenshe did not understand it, explaining the meaning in his plainand simple language.

When he decided to leave Indiana he was preparingthe lumber for a better house.
