Greely was a Polar Explorer.
Springfield Dec. 31.
Mrs Fanny Barrow
Dear Madam.
the box of books which you were kind enough to send to our little boys, was received a few days since, their hearts were very greatful in being so remembered. They reached here, the day after Willie's birthday, when his other little keepsakes had ceased to interest him. Any birthday presents, he had received, were so far inferior, to the stories you presented them with that they were doubly acceptable.
Trusting that the gloomy cloud, which hangs over our beloved country, may soon be dispelled, and that peace and harmony, may be restored, I remain yours repectfully
Mary Lincoln
