Words Lincoln Said

[Gene C]

Thanks Roger.

I'm also currently reading Walter Stahr's book, "Seward".
Although I see Seward's name (along with Lincoln's) at the bottom of the proclamation, I haven't got the impression that Seward would refer to God and religious matters as much as they are evident in this proclamation. I will have to go back and reread the section when this occurred. The writing style seems to fit Seward more than Lincoln, while the ideas expressed seem to be more Lincoln than Seward. Who knows? Hard to tell what is really going on inside someone's head, their thoughts, ideas and feelings.
