Yeah. And a lot of before untranscripted letters will be available online.
I read somewhere that one of Stoddard vivid memories from his time serving as a White House secretary was how often he and his colleagues laughed and wept reading those letters everyday.
Any letters is touching. You feel how Lincoln created a bound between himself and the everyday citizen.
