Lincoln The Lover 

At the point when we withdrew from Lincoln and Ann Rutledge in the former paper, Lincoln had quite recently heard that Ann had gone to work in the agreeable family of Uncle Jimmy Short at Sand Ridge. Lincoln was troubled at the information; he felt as a rebuke to himself that he was unable to shield Ann from such necessities, and he composed the respectable which letter has come down to me among the other Lincoln souvenirs safeguarded by Ann's cousin and chest companion, Matilda Cameron. 메이저사이트

'I attempt to convince myself that my unfortunate star has not dominated you,' Lincoln composed. 'Molly Prewitt enlightened me regarding you going to work for James Short's family. You are excessively slight for that difficult work. My cherished one, I should now be remaining among you and such preliminaries. O! At the point when will achievement crown my untiring endeavors. However, trust was grinding away just as eagerness. Later in the letter Lincoln communicated it all the more merrily: 'I feel unusally lifted with any expectation of diminishing your current concern at an early date and in like manner doing myself the best turn of my life.' 

It was 1834. Lincoln, vigorously in the red, filled in as postmaster of New Salem, effectively working on reviewing, and was a contender for the state lawmaking body. James Rutledge and John Cameron had surrendered the work to make an accomplishment of their New Salem projects and had resigned to what exactly was initially the Cameron ranch at Sand Ridge, a couple of miles away. The more established young ladies in the two families had been constrained to 'work out.' The Cameron ranch had been purchased, before his takeoff from New Salem, by John McNamar, to whom Ann Rutledge had first been locked in. He was an upstanding and enterprising youthful dealer who had made momentous progress in an extremely brief time frame. Yet, he had called himself McNeil on his appearance in the town, and when it became realized that he had been living under an expected name, doubt was stimulated. He clarified that when his dad had experienced monetary turns around he had wished to cut himself off from the past and make his fortune unhampered, however this clarification did little to set tattle very still. McNamar had left for New York in 1832, promising to return rapidly with his folks, however he didn't advance back to New Salem for a very long time. Whatever correspondence might have passed meanwhile among him and Ann Rutledge ultimately reached a conclusion. Without even a trace of word from him, and drove into uncertainty and doubt by the doubt which his lead had incited, Ann respected the power of another friendship. Lincoln came into her life as a really engrossing impact, and she gave him an affection which she was unable to have given McNamar. 

Ann didn't leave Lincoln's letter unanswered. She sent him consequently a valuable belonging, a bible1 which had a place with her mom. With the strong little volume came these couple of lines:— 

DEAR ABEIt was my moms she giv it to me. I love it such a lot of that I need you to hav it. Requests read everything. It will cause you to feel diferent. Ann 

Of all the Lincoln assets which have plunged to me, and which have at no other time been distributed or known,— letters, journals, books,— most likely none is all the more valuable that this Bible. In addition to the fact that it was a sweetheart's gift from Ann to Abraham, however it has been set apart with Lincoln's own composition, and he has left in it imprudent hints of this idea or feeling. Allow us to follow his means, and inspect the pages of the yellowed old Bible which has descended from his own hands.
