1893.
"My
dear
Nicolay:
As
you
and
Colonel
Hay
have
now
brought
your
great
work
to
a
most
successful
conclusion
by
the
publication
of
your
life
of
my
father,
I
hope
and
request that
you
and
he
will
supplement
it
by
collecting,
editing,
and
publishing
the
speeches,
letters,
state
papers,
and
miscellaneous
writings
of
my
father.
You
and
Colonel
Hay
have
my
consent
and
au-
thority
to
obtain
for
yourselves
such
protection
by
copyright,
or
otherwise,
in
respect
to
the
whole
or
any
part
of
such
a
collection,
as
I
might
for
any
reason
be
entitled
to
have.
"Believe
me,
very
sincerely
yours,
Robert
"John
G.
Nicolay."
T.
Lincoln.
Both
in
fulfilment
of
the
request
contained
in
the
foregoing
letter,
and
in
execution
of
a
long-
cherished
design,
we
present
to
the
public
this
vi
Preface
Complete
Works
of
Abraham
Lin-
coln,
hoping
and
trusting
that
it
will
be
received
as
a
welcome
addition
to
American
historical
edition
of
the
literature.

Nicolay,

Hay.
Nearly
thirty-five
years
have
elapsed
since
the
preceding
words
were
written,
and
during
that
period
the
assiduity
of
a
multitude
of
Lincoln
collectors
has
brought
to
light
a
large
amount
of
manuscript
material
which
inevitably
escaped
even
such
conscientious
workers
as
Nic-
olay
and
Hay.
The
collectors
have
been
so
dili-
gent
during
this
period
it
is
hardly
probable
that
any
of
Lincoln's
writings
of
importance
can
be
any
longer
undiscovered.
The
aim
has
been
to
collect
this
material,
add
it
to
the
work
of
the
two
great
biographers,
and
so
make
a
complete
and
definitive
edition.
The
chronological
arrangement
of
the
orig-
inal
edition
has
been
followed
and
all
new
ad-
ditions
to
the
text
inserted
in
their
respective
and
marked
with
an
asterisk.
Explanatory
and
biographical
notes
have
been
added where
deemed
necessary
to
explain
ob-
places
scure
allusions
or
to
preserve
the
continuity
of
the
narrative.
These
notes
are
mostly
new;
