The record — long form
Jenkins is the neighbor — the 'five lots south' that's the Lincoln's street, the 'drayman' that's the wagon for hire. The 'stampede' is the '50 — the 'sixty miles' that's the Springfield to Bloomington, the 'five reports' that's the newspapers' confusion. The 'Certificate' is the '46 — the 'filed freedom' that's the Sangamon recorder, the 'free by '35' that's the North Carolina born.
The 'farewell' is the '61 — the 'drove Lincoln' that's the to the depot, the 'last ride' that's the Springfield's goodbye. The 'betrayed' is the rumor — the 'incorrectly' that's the cleared later, the 'courthouse messenger' that's the ended his days. Jenkins is the grass — the 'house gone' that's the empty lot, the 'wayside' that's the NPS marked.
The file keeps Jenkins: the drayman's wagon, the stampede run, Lincoln's last ride, and the empty lot.
Jenkins Lot is the archive's Illinois file — Lincoln's neighbor conductor.
Why this file matters

A lot keeps its wheel ruts — the file's suggestion being that Jenkins' hold is the proximate: the 'half-block' that's the from the president-elect, the 'sixty miles' that's the drove fugitives north, and the 'depot' that's the carried Lincoln away.
