Dear Fred:
This note is to formally thank you for your wonderful portayal of Abraham Lincoln at our last meeting of the Carpenter-Welch Camp of the Sons of Union Veterans on March 25th. I had not had the privilege of seeing you perform before that night. I was truly amazed, as were the other brothers, about your ability to capture Lincoln’s persona so magnificently. We are gratelful that you were able to accommodate us on rather short notice. We would be honored if you would be willing to come back and entertain us again as Abraham Lincoln. Until then,
Best regards,
Edward D. Hall
Commander

Dear President Lincoln,
I hope you and Mrs. Lincoln enjoy the photos. It is a wonderful picture of you both.

Dear Mr. Priebe,
Thank you very much for your presentation at Tondra School on Jan.16th. Your portrayal of Abraham Lincoln was an experience that all of us will remember.
Young children are so often wanting for legitimate heros. Abraham Lincoln, one of America’s most beloved and respected Presidents, is certainly at the top of the Hero List.
Our students, teachers and parents thank you for a “job well done”!
Sincerely,
George Belvich
Principal, Tonda School

Dear Fred & Bonnie, Shalom!
Hi! It was quite flattering to have made your acquaintences. It’s not every day that historic events unfold in front of you, but it did at the MHC Horse Expo in East Lansing. Your presence made a lasting impression with us. I’m enclosing a short article that may interest you. Best wishes and continued success in your pursuits. Till next time, a fervent admirer.
