+LINCOLN LETTERS
+
+Published by The Bibilophile Society
+
+NOTE
+
+The letters herein by Lincoln are so thoroughly characteristic of
+the man, and are in themselves so completely self-explanatory, that
+it requires no comment to enable the reader fully to understand and
+appreciate them. It will be observed that the philosophical
+admonitions in the letter to his brother, Johnston, were written on
+the same sheet with the letter to his father.
+
+The promptness and decision with which Lincoln despatched the
+multitudinous affairs of his office during the most turbulent
+scenes of the Civil War are exemplified in his unequivocal order to
+the Attorney-General, indorsed on the back of the letter of Hon.
+Austin A. King, requesting a pardon for John B. Corner. The
+indorsement bears even date with the letter itself, and Corner was
+pardoned on the following day.
+
+
+THE ORIGINALS FROM WHICH THE WITHIN FACSIMILES WERE MADE ARE IN THE
+COLLECTION OF MR. WILLIAM K. BIXBY, AND THROUGH HIS COURTESY THEY
+ARE REPRODUCED FOR MEMBERS OF THE BIBLIOPHILE SOCIETY
+
+
+[Transcriber's Note: The following letters, to Lincoln's father and
+brother, make up files linc01.jpg, linc02.jpg, and linc03.jpg]
+
+Washington, Dec. 24th, 1848.
+
+My dear father:--
+
+Your letter of the 7th was received night before last. I very
+cheerfully send you the twenty dollars, which sum you say is
+necessary to save your land from sale. It is singular that you
+should have forgotten a judgment against you; and it is more
+singular that the plaintiff should have let you forget it so long,
+particularly as I suppose you have always had property enough to
+satisfy a judgment of that amount. Before you pay it, it would be
+well to be sure you have not paid it; or, at least, that you can
+not prove you have paid it. Give my love to Mother, and all the
+connections.
+
+Affectionately your son,
+
+A. LINCOLN.
+
+
+[Written on same page with above.]
+
+Dear Johnston:--
+
+Your request for eighty dollars, I do not think it best to comply
+with now. At the various times when I have helped you a little, you
+have said to me, "We can get along very well now," but in a very
+short time I find you in the same difficulty again. Now this can
+only happen by some defect in your conduct. What that defect is, I
+think I know. You are not _lazy_, and still you _are_ an _idler_. I
+doubt whether since I saw you, you have done a good whole day's
+work, in any one day. You do not very much dislike to work, and
+still you do not work much, merely because it does not seem to you
+that you could get much for it. This habit of uselessly wasting
+time, is the whole difficulty; and it is vastly important to you,
+and still more so to your children, that you should break this
+habit. It is more important to them, because they have longer to
+live, and can keep out of an idle habit before they are in it
+easier than they can get out after they are in.
+
+You are now in need of some ready money; and what I propose is,
+that you shall go to work, "tooth and nail," for somebody who will
+give you money for it. Let father and your boys take charge of
+things at home--prepare for a crop, and make the crop; and you go
+to work for the best money wages, or in discharge of any debt you
+owe, that you can get. And to secure you a fair reward for your
+labor, I now promise you that for every dollar you will, between
+this and the first of next May, get for your own labor either in
+money or in your own indebtedness, I will then give you one other
+dollar. By this, if you hire yourself at ten dollars a month, from
+me you will get ten more, making twenty dollars a month for your
+work. In this, I do not mean you shall go off to St. Louis, or the
+lead mines, or the gold mines, in California, but I mean for you to
+go at it for the best wages you can get close to home, in Coles
+County. Now if you will do this, you will soon be out of debt, and
+what is better, you will have a habit that will keep you from
+getting in debt again. But if I should now clear you out, next year
+you will be just as deep in as ever. You say you would almost give
+your place in Heaven for $70 or $80. Then you value your place in
+Heaven very cheaply, for I am sure you can with the offer I make
+you get the seventy or eighty dollars for four or five months'
+work. You say if I furnish you the money you will deed me the land,
+and if you don't pay the money back, you will deliver possession--
+Nonsense! If you can't now live _with_ the land, how will you then
+live without it? You have always been kind to me, and I do not now
+mean to be unkind to you. On the contrary, if you will but follow
+my advice, you will find it worth more than eight times eighty
+dollars to you.
+
+Affectionately your brother,
+
+A. LINCOLN.
+
+
+[Transcriber's Note: The following letter to General Grant is
+contained in file linc04.jpg]
+
+Executive Mansion,
+Washington, April 30, 1864.
+
+Lieutenant-General Grant,--
+
+Not expecting to see you again before the spring campaign opens, I
+wish to express, in this way, my entire satisfaction with what you
+have done up to this time, so far as I understand it. The
+particulars of your plans I neither know, or seek to know. You are
+vigilant and self reliant; and, pleased with this, I wish not to
+obtrude any constraints or restraints upon you. While I am very
+anxious that any great disaster, or the capture of our men in great
+numbers, shall be avoided, I know these points are less likely to
+escape your attention than they would be mine. If there is anything
+wanting which is within my power to give, do not fail to let me
+know it.
+
+And now with a brave Army, and a just cause, may God sustain you.
+
+Yours very truly,
+
+A. LINCOLN.
+
+
+
+[Transcriber's Note: The letter from Austin A. King, requesting a
+pardon for John B. Corner is contained in files linc005.jpg and
+linc006.jpg. Lincoln's note approving the pardon is contained in
+file linc007.jpg. As these letters were not transcribed in the
+print book, I have not transcribed them here.]

+
+Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we usually do not
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+We are now trying to release all our eBooks one year in advance
+of the official release dates, leaving time for better editing.
+Please be encouraged to tell us about any error or corrections,
+even years after the official publication date.
+
+Please note neither this listing nor its contents are final til
+midnight of the last day of the month of any such announcement.
+The official release date of all Project Gutenberg eBooks is at
+Midnight, Central Time, of the last day of the stated month.  A
+preliminary version may often be posted for suggestion, comment
+and editing by those who wish to do so.
+
+Most people start at our Web sites at:
+http://gutenberg.net or
+http://promo.net/pg
+
+These Web sites include award-winning information about Project
+Gutenberg, including how to donate, how to help produce our new
+eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter (free!).
+
+
+Those of you who want to download any eBook before announcement
+can get to them as follows, and just download by date.  This is
+also a good way to get them instantly upon announcement, as the
+indexes our cataloguers produce obviously take a while after an
+announcement goes out in the Project Gutenberg Newsletter.

+Information about Project Gutenberg (one page)
+
+We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work.  The
+time it takes us, a rather conservative estimate, is fifty hours
+to get any eBook selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright
+searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc.   Our
+projected audience is one hundred million readers.  If the value
+per text is nominally estimated at one dollar then we produce $2
+million dollars per hour in 2002 as we release over 100 new text
+files per month:  1240 more eBooks in 2001 for a total of 4000+
+We are already on our way to trying for 2000 more eBooks in 2002
+If they reach just 1-2% of the world's population then the total
+will reach over half a trillion eBooks given away by year's end.
+
+The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away 1 Trillion eBooks!
+This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred million readers,
+which is only about 4% of the present number of computer users.
