His tribute to Lincoln; the original manuscript published in Osborn H. Oldroyd's "The Lincoln Memorial: Album-Immortelles," in 1882, [page 265]. "A great man: Tender of heart, strong of nerve, of boundless patience and broadest sympathy, with no motive apart from his country. He could recieve [sic] counsel from a child and give counsel to a sage. The simple approached him with ease, and the learned approached him with deference. Take him for all in all, Abraham Lincoln was one of the noblest, wisest and best men I ever knew."
