RE: The Bixby Letter
For me, the interesting feature to the Bixby letter is whether or not the circumstances behind the letter are true.
Did Mrs. Bixby have five sons who died on the field of battle? If we are to examine who wrote it, examining John Hay's direct answer to that question carries more weight in my mind than second and third hand comments or computerized stylometric analysis. Written under different circumstances than the Bixby letter, I've always admired Lincoln's letter of condolence to Fanny McCullough. http://www.abrahamlincolnonline.org/linc...0Illinois. A good article Lane. You did a nice job in presenting your information. So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in? |
