A letter to President Lincoln

Like all mail carried by the Pony Express this letter was written on tissue thin paper and enclosed in a ten-cent government envelope.

Philip,

That was a great "bit of history" that you shared with all of us. I live about 45 miles south of St. Joseph, MO., and the history of the Pony Express is big stuff around here(along with Jesse James... who did a lot of railfan'ing around these parts). Thanks for a nice bit of history.
