Gettysburg officials would like to borrow a copy of the Gettysburg Address

[RJNorton]

Good morning, Eva. I am not a Facebook member. Scroll down under the picture at the top and there is a poll box where it says "Do you think the Library of Congress should let Gettysburg borrow this priceless document?" Below that there is a red vote button. Just click on that button and the results show. Another screen appears and shows the results. I just did it and current results are:

Yes 54%
No 44%
I'm not sure 2%

Kate, the picture below the poll is a photograph that was discovered in 1952 among a collection of Mathew Brady negatives in the National Archives. It's quite hazy, but that is President Lincoln in the left-center of the crowd. He is not wearing a hat. The photo was taken well before he gave his address. There is more information here. You are correct - no photo of Lincoln actually delivering the address is known to exist.
