Photographing documents/official records Lincoln White House

[RJNorton]

Thanks, Anita. Kids have been writing me about that one for a long time. It has been claimed that during the Lincoln-Douglas Debates, when opponent Stephen Douglas accused Abraham Lincoln of being two faced, Lincoln turned to the audience and said that (or something like that). But in searching the Lincoln-Douglas Debates, checking the Fehrenbachers' book, and looking elsewhere (such as contemporary newspaper accounts), I have never been able to locate a source for that quote. I sure agree with Toia's comment - hilarious and brilliant - but so far I have not found that Lincoln really said it. I am not saying he didn't - I just have not found a legitimate source for that particular quote.
