A Letter to Abe Lincoln from Samuel Clemens

Dear Mr. President,

Mr. President, as a journalist, I have been closely following the developments on the war front. When do you perceive thing to wind down?  I've just finished a set of interviews of how the war has impacted families on both sides.  You and I both know that this war is over so much more than slavery. I know that your greatest concern is to keep the Union together and slavery is incidental to that.  My contention is that everything boils down to money in economics. 

I am so glad that I am not in your place.  I wish you well.  Give Congress a piece of your mind and stand up for what you believe in.

Respectfully,

Samuel Clemens
