Photographing documents/official records Lincoln White House

[Anita]

Thank you Betty, Laurie and Eva. I was skeptical when I read that Lincoln had photographic copies made.

Laurie, just think of the oodles of records produced during the Civil War. Was the letter copying press you described in your post used by Nicholas, Hay, Stanton and other record keeping entities of the government?

Eva, your question is a good one- "If I were two-faced, would I be wearing this one?" comes from? It's one of those often attributed to Lincoln, but I've never found out." I found the answer from our very own Roger. Check out " Unproven Quotations Attributed to Abraham Lincoln" http://rogerjnorton.com/Lincoln56.html
