Lincoln recollections and a Chilean post from memory
A Chicago Post anecdote recalls Colonel Thomas Nelson of Indiana meeting Abraham Lincoln on a prewar journey to Indianapolis. Nelson, seeing Lincoln in a hotel lobby, was startled when the future president later appointed him minister to Chile and recalled their centrifugical force chat. The piece also includes a string of light vignettes from various papers and humorous exchanges, reflecting a collage of late 19th or early 20th century quips.
