Lincoln and Ann Rutledge

[Lewis Gannett]

I haven't read yet Hanchett's article, but I've read some of your thoughts on the William Percy web site, such as your "Suggestions in the New Testament that Jesus had a Gay Life Style" . You and I think in different directions, and to me this is another example of your taking things out of context in which they occurred or were written. Your very inteligent, and educated, but your also good at twisting the truth, seing into things that just aren't there and drawing conclusions based on what you want to see. (of coarse, you can say some of the same about me)

I think we're just to far apart on this to ever reach an agrrement about this aspect of Lincolns life.

Thanks Gene for the honest expression of your sentiments. About William Percy's website & Jesus, I didn't argue that "Jesus was gay," but examined the work of a scholar with a new take on the N.T. But yes, the topic surely is most controversial and not for everyone. All I ask is that you read what I write with a sense of balance and fairness. I will do the same for you.
