From “Lincoln 365,” by Arnold Kunst
February 28
Early on Lincoln took to writing
letters for the illiterate among his family and friends. In this way he
combined two urges that never left him: to help those who needed what he could
do with consummate ease, and to express himself both clearly and concisely in
writing.
'There are two ways of spreading
light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.'
- Edith Wharton
