Lincoln's"Acts of Kindness"

[HerbS]

I found a local[Canandiagua,NY] appeal to Lincoln for a dead soldier[Gettysburg].The appeal was from a very poor family, for their son to be sent back home to Canandaigua to be buried.The appeal was sent to Lincoln from Canandaigua's Post Master due to his writing skills.Lincoln had him buried in The Gettysburg National Cemetary with full honors!
