Lincoln Circle: Samson Links Davis Plot and School of Politics
Samson tracks Davis through Chicago debt schemes and links a Brimstead note to a false death story. He consults Wentworth on Lincoln Douglas talks, witnesses a growing Springfield political science circle with Abe Lincoln and Josiah Lamborn, and plans legal action while supporting Joe’s pursuit of law. A broader Russia relief note follows, detailing Haskell’s push to feed millions with grain aid.
