To me, it's how we treat one another that our higher being is concerned with, and that is how we should judge Mr. Lincoln. Somewhere in my Episcopal prayer book or liturgy there is a phrase similar to this: Faith is an outward and physical symbol of an inward and spiritual grace.

BTW: Dr. Todd, I believe that I communicated with you several years ago in requesting and receiving permission to print your family letters in an issue of the Surratt Courier that is produced by Surratt House Museum. It is so very nice to welcome you onboard this forum.

Hello again. When doing my research on my family tree, I'll go fishing on the internet to see if anything new or unnoticed pops up. A link to a forum page mentioning the Surratt House Museum was listed, and I couldn't help but think of our communication back then.

Thanks for the welcome. I've seen nothing but respectful exchanges here, and having been administrator of a friend's BBS back in the day when the internet was all text and no photos, I recognize that that's no small accomplishment by the moderators here.
