REV. MR. THAYER,

CAMBRIDGE, April 17, 1863.

DEAR SIR,I received, a few days since, a copy of the "Pioneer Boy," for which I wish to return my thanks.

am very much pleased with the book, as an interesting story; and I find, that, in reading it, many things are recalled which I had forgotten. You have been singularly successful in avoiding errors; as I find I have, at some time, heard nearly every thing you narrate, from a "reliable gentleman."

With the best wishes for its success, I remain

Yours very truly,

ROBT. T. LINCOLN.
