192656364Merion Pa. 1926. A typed letter signed on personalized Merion Manor stationery dated March 31 1926. A rather unusual letter responding to a request for a clam chowder recipe. Lincoln states that writer is "asking too much of me when you request the recipe for clam chowder. I agree with you that the variety found in other sections of the country is at best a poor substitute for the real thing." He does say he will consult Mrs. Lincoln for help and then he writes a lengthy postscript explaining the difference between Manhattan and New England clam chowders. He suggests Fannie Farmer's "Boston Cook Book" for a recipe. Then initialed by Lincoln. Single 7.25- by 10.5-inch sheet. Very Good few original folds. <br/><br/> unknown books
194256696Chatham Massachusetts 1942. Typed Letter Signed. An interesting one-page letter to Andrew Coddington a soldier at a recruit training center at Fort Hancock NJ now a part of Sandy Hook National Park. On Lincoln's personal stationery dated August 19 1942. Lincoln writes that he has been ill which explains for the tardiness in his response "but be sure that it wasn't due to carelessness." Lincoln then gets personal: "I wonder where you may be just now. Events and people are moving so fast and so far in these strange days that it is hard to keep up with them. Perhaps you are somewhere the other side of the world by this time." Lincoln writes that he wished Coddington well and hopes he can visit him on Cape Cod if he is in the Chatham area. "Wherever you are I hope things are going well with you and that some of these days and in the not too far distant future you will be coming back to Cape Cod again." An interesting reflection by a well-known author during World War II. Very Good usual letters folds for mailing. <br/><br/> unknown books
