     LETTER TO COL.

     WILLIAM ELKINS

        NOV.21,1864

 I SEE IN THE NEAR FUTURE

A CRISIS APPROACHING THAT

UNNERVES ME. AND CAUSES

   ME TO TREMBLE,FOR THE

   SAFETY OF MY COUNTRY.

CORPORATIONS HAVE BEEN

ENTHRONED. AND AN ERA OF

CORRUPTION,IN HIGH PLACES

  WILL FOLLOW. AND THE    MONEY POWER OF THE  COUNTRY WILL ENDEAVOR.

TO PROLONG IT'S REIGN,BY

SEEKING UPON THE PREJUDICES OF THE PEOPLE.

  UNTIL ALL THE  WEALTH IS AGGREGATED IN A FEW

HANDS AND THE REPUBLIC IS

DESTROYED. I FEEL AT THIS

MOMENT.MORE ANXIETY FOR

THE SAFETY OF MY COUNTRY

THAN EVER BEFORE. EVEN

IN THE MIDST OF WAR. GOD

GRANT THAT MY SUSPICIONS

MAY PROVE GROUNDLESS.

            US. PRESIDENT

         ABRAHAM LINCOLN
