so many protests are being made against any new Brevets.

Edward spent his holidays with us but I do not think could have had a very pleasant time as he made very few acquaintances. He has grown finely and has improved very much indeed. He says he wants to go to West Point and if he really makes it, and his inclinations are all that way my notion is it would be the best thing for him. I will help all I can to get him an appointment but he ought to wait until June 1868. All the children have had the chicken pox and the baby who is still takng medicine was quite ill. Emma was quite worn out taking care of him and to day the nurse has gone to bed sick.

Emma joins me in kind love to all at home

Your affection, son

Thos Lincoln.
