ABRAHAM LINCOLN HIS FAREWELL ADDRESS
<B>ABRAHAM LINCOLN HIS FAREWELL ADDRESS SPRINGFIELD, 1865.</B></I> A Lincoln memorial piece, 6” x 9.75” in size: In Memory of Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States of America, Born February 12, 1809, Died April 15, 1865. His farewell address to his old neighbors. <I>“My Friends- No one not in my position can appreciate the sadness I feel at this parting. To this people I owe all that I am. Here I have lived more than a quarter of century; here my children were born, and here one of them lies buried. I know not how soon I shall see you again. A duty devolves upon me which is, perhaps, greater than that which has devolved upon any other man since the days of Washington. He never would have succeeded except for the aid of Divine Providence, upon which he at all times relied. I feel that I cannot succeed without the same Divine aid which sustained him, and on the same almighty being I place my reliance for support, and I hope you, my friends, will all pray that I may receive that Divine assistance without which I cannot succeed, but with which success is certain. Again I bid you an affectionate farewell.” </B></I><BR><BR><B>Provenance: </B></I><I>Al.
