A fragmentary discussion of Abraham Lincoln and a letter to Mary expresses reluctance to court a relationship while offering possible future closeness. The piece contrasts Lincoln with Whitefield and reflects on Lincoln as a figure of liberty and national destiny through a critical essay by John G. R. Pitkin.

She describes Mrs Lincoln as devout and hardworking, Robert and Willie Lincoln as children, and the modest life before Lincoln’s presidency, including occasional peasant clothes and church activities.
A New Yorker recalls meeting Abraham Lincoln before the Civil War. The writer, biased against Lincoln, now honors his honesty and candor. He describes Lincoln as unpretentious, persuasive, and deeply principled on slavery while stressing calm, practical reasoning over rhetoric.
