RE: The book proposal
Quote:While running for re-election to the Illinois general assembly, Lincoln wrote the following in a letter to the editor of the "Sangamo Journal" on June13, 1836: “I go for all sharing the privileges of the government, who assist in bearing its burdens. Consequently I go for admitting all whites to the right of suffrage, who pay taxes or bear arms, (by no means excluding females.)” Ask and ye shall receive.  Best Rob Abraham Lincoln is the only man, dead or alive, with whom I could have spent five years without one hour of boredom. --Ida M. Tarbell
I want the respect of intelligent men, but I will choose for myself the intelligent. --Carl Sandburg
