    POEM / LETTER
    WRITTEN ON HISTORIC DAY OF DEATH

It is addressed to his sister. He speaks about the shock people had at finding out about the
    assassination. He then notes that he went to town to go to church "
    for the purpose of hearing the preaching and seeing the fair sex you know that I am getting to be quite old and time that I should be paying a little more attention than I have heretofore been doing I saw some that appeared very well but yet they fail to suit me so you will please interest yourself in my behalf and find me one that is in favor of union good looking and very rich
    ." Yep.

    four years of
    Hell

    innocence
    for
    ever, and forever changed these United States and the World as we knew it with the Cowardly
    Murder
    of our
    Beloved & Iconic
    Commander in Chief. Abraham Lincoln.
