Answer:

A letter is a primary source

Step-by-step explanation:

If Abraham Lincoln were to write a letter it would be considered a primary source because of Lincoln having been there to experience and be apart of it. Whereas an article by a journalist describing what happened during the time the letter was being written would be a secondary source for the journalist wasn't there.

Hope this helps!
