25 September–1 October 1865

Yesterday, at our Cattle-Show, I saw a man sitting in the Town Hall so like to the late President Lincoln, in the whole head, that I called the attention of Rev. Mr. Reynolds to him, who at once recognized the fact. It was Elijah Wood of this town. The view was in profile, and he had his hand against his face, covering it a little, and so probably increasing the likeness.
