hand written by abraham lincoln. this time that he wrote the gettysburg address he gave it to a man named edward everett. today we don't really remember edward everett but in the 19th century edward everett was a prominent individual, a great speaker, he's actually the main speaker that day at gettysburg on november 19, 1863. he gives the main speech when they are dedicating the cemetery. he gives a talk that lasts for over two hours. he did not speak from notes and he sort of put the battle of gettysburg into the context of world history and the great battles of world history. after he finished his talk abraham lincoln came up and read from two sheets of paper and afterwards everett sent him a little note that said, you said more in two minutes and i was able to say in two hours. would you write out the gettysburg address and send it to me. this is what abraham lincoln sent him. everett made a scrapbook memorializing that day and on the final pages he pasted in these two pages of the gettysburg address. in the 20th

abraham lincoln had just come back from being a congressman. his term in congress did not go particularly well. he devoted himself at that point to rebuilding his law practice. he got a series of letters coming from his father's home, and the news was that his father was not doing well. his health was really failing, and they were begging lincoln to come visit his father on his deathbed. abraham lincoln did not answer the first letter, and it is not until a second letter comes that he decided to pen the letter, addressed to come as he says, "dear brother." it is his stepbrother. abraham lincoln writes, really, the last words that he once read to his father. i will read a little bit here to give you a flavor of what mr. lincoln writes.
