Abraham Lincoln Supposes He Will Continue His Chicago Tribune Subscription Back in 1859

From the April 12, 2015, Chicago tribune "Lincoln's paper trail."

A letter from Abraham Lincoln to the Press and Tribune.

  The original is in the Robert R. McCormick Museum at Cantigny.  Robert McCormick owned the Tribune.

Springfield, June 15, 1859

Press & Tribune Co.

Gentlemen.

Herewith a draft to pay for your Daily another year from today.  I suppose I shall take The Press & Tribune as long as it and I both live, unless I become unable to pay for it.

In its devotion to our cause always, and to me personally last year, i owe a debt of gratitude, which I fear I shall never be able to pay.

Yours very truly
A. Lincoln

I wonder if the paper boy delivered it?
