He created an environment around him where those sentiments existed not only in himself, but also reached out into those who worked closely with him. Hay may have penned the words, but it was Lincoln who's fundamental beliefs dictated the personality of the letter.

For an interesting read on the subject, see: Emerson, Jason. "New Evidence from an Ignored Voice: Robert Todd Lincoln and the Authorship of the Bixby Letter." The Lincoln Herald, Vol 110, No. 2, Summer 2008. pp 86-116.
