Lincoln Gettysburg letter discovered after 70 years
This interesting letter was found in the national archives in a collection called “The General’s papers”. It written in Lincoln’s own hand, on the War Department’s letterhead.
It demonstrates Lincoln’s optimism that the war could be concluded quickly, but it continued for over a year after this note was written.
The note from Lincoln to Maj. Gen. Henry Halleck was written on July 7, 1863, four days after the defeat of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, and three days after the city of Vicksburg on the Mississippi River fell to Union forces. Reuters

A misspelling showed the rudimentary education of the 16th U.S. president, who was largely self-taught.
I for one, respected President Lincoln and all of those who followed (except for the DEMOCRAPPER IDIOTS who blatntly had BLOW-JOBS in the Oval *******; got caught; and still can’t admit the truth to this day! ) … clearly shows that it doesn’t take a very intelligent person to serve any state; much less run the country.
