Wonderful missive written by Edward Woods to his friend J.V. Neyt, 1 1/2 pgs. In full "Dedicated to my worthy and esteemed friends, son and Mr. J. V. Neyt. In reply to the question: "Do you think that President Lincoln is a great man? - The son of ages shall soon rise and set upon our dust. While the name of Abraham Lincoln will stand forth on the pages of history in the boldest letter of eternal adamant. Very Respectfully Yours, Edward P. Woods Lowell, Feb 10, 1865". He continues on the next page "P.S. If you please - paste the foregoing in your old spelling book -- Wait and see what your great great grand children shall say on the matter...E.P.M." Interesting view on Lincoln, and what history will think of him years in the future, written just over one month before his assassination! Fine.
