Compliments Lincoln Tea Company, Ft; Wayne, Indiana

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. I do not think Lincoln was ambitious at all. It seems to me that his Object in life was no greater than to make a living for his family. The dream of avarice never crossed him. He took no initial steps to reach the Presidency or the Senate, and was rather pushed forward, than a volunteer. Ican't recall in those days when he attended court that he ever spoke about himself or took any satisfaction in victory over an adversary, or repeated any good thing he had done or said. As a partisan he always reasoned for the good Of the party, and not concerning his own ad vancement. Consequently, when the people had made up their minds that there was talent in him, of a remarkable kind, they came to his assistance with a spontaneity and vehemence that was electrical. He reaped the great reward Of unselfishness as few men have ever done.
