Thanks for the link reference, Celina.Unfortunately, those letters have been unavailable at that link for some time.I have, however, discovered copies of them from a photostat from a cousin -- a direct descendent of BFC.I've got the one after the battle of Gettysburg posted (and with notes and "helps") on one of my educational web pages.The link is:

The general web site there is a discussion of Lincoln's rhetorical style in the Gettysburg Address:
