The Fell manuscripts include letters from many men who consulted the quiet Quaker in Bloomington before acting in matters of importance. It is in connection with the stirring events of the 60's, which cul- minated in the election of Lincoln, that Fell is of most interest to peo- ple of this generation ; and that because of his strong and close friends...hip with the Emancipator himself. He and Lincoln had been fast friends since the days of the first meeting at Vandalia in 1834, when Stuart made them acquainted and the three men lived at the same hotel.
