More from Abraham Lincoln
I am considering, and shall not fail to act when satisfied that action will be proper.
If the end brings me out all right, what is said against me won't amount to anything.
I do the very best I know how--the very best I can; and I mean to keep doing so until the end.
As a general rule I abstain from reading the reports of attacks upon myself, wishing not to be provoked by that to which I cannot properly offer an answer.
