RE: The Emancipation Proclamation and Mary Lincoln's Jewelry On Display at the ALPLM
Roger,

Was the EP really distroyed in the Chicago Fire? It is displayed very rarely, but I happpened to be in Washington about 5 years ago when it was displayed for two days only. Or did I only view a copy?

By the way, the line to see the EP was longer than the line to see the Declaration of independence.

Joe

One more thing. Lincoln wrote on both sides of the paper so I could only read pages 1,3,and 5 thru the glass case.
