To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
"Dear Madam : — I am shown, in the files of the War Department, a statement of the Adjutant- General of Massachusetts, that you are the mother of five sons who have died gloriously on the field of battle. I feel how weak and fruitless must be any words of mine which would attempt to beguile you from a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain, from tendering to you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the Republic they died to save. I pray that our Heavenly Father may as- suage t...he anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of free- dom. "Yours very sincerely and respectfully, "ABRAHAM LINCOLN. " The anecdotes that Lincoln told were mostly humorous; and often, from our present standards, coarse. He resorted to humor quite philosophically, as throwing a bright light on the field of vision, illustrating by sharp incongruities the pathway of wisdom and discretion.
