More from Abraham Lincoln
If the end brings me out all right, what is said against me won't amount to anything.
Now, therefore, be it known that I, Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States, do issue this my proclamation, as required by said act, ordering and requiting all deserters to return to their proper posts;
Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith, let us, to the end, dare to do our duty as we understand it.
Let us strive to deserve, as far as mortals may, the continued favor of Almighty God.
