When he had taken a fee in the latter's absence, he put one half of it into his own pocket, and laid the other half carefully away, labeling it Billy, '' the name by which he familiarly addressed his partner. When asked why he did not make a record of the amount and, for the time being, use the whole, Mr. Lincoln answered: Because I promised my mother never to use money belonging to another person.''This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
