Lincoln speech on the Bible?

[Eva Elisabeth]

Thanks, Anita, interesting. I am not sure how telling all this - it could tell of very different "reasons".

What is a trustee in this context? I.e. was it a sort of volunteer position? Or was he officially hired, or were such duties "socially" expected or beneficial for his kind of career?

Also I think that Robert never officially confirmed nor denied anything regarding his father's faith could be mere discretion and experience/ that the less is said/"revealed" on such matters the better, or that he simply didn't know for sure himself his father's final mindset.

Were his kids baptized?
