FOOTNOTES1To Mr.Samuel Sinclair, of theNew York Tribune, for the introduction to Mr. Lincoln, and toFrederick A. Lane, Esq., of New York, for the generous aid thus extended, I shall ever be indebted for the accomplishment of my work.2The authorship of this poem has been made known since this publication in theEvening Post. It was written by William Knox, a young Scotchman, a contemporary of Sir Walter Scott. He died in Edinburgh, in 1825, at the age of 36.The two verses in brackets were not repeated by Mr. Lincoln, but belong to the original poem.3Hon. Henry J. Raymond.4Colonel Le Grand B. Cannon, of General Wool’s staff5Raymond’sLife of Lincoln.6Hon. H. J. Raymond.7Mr. Lincoln’s friend Brooks, of theSacramento Union, has given to the public a somewhat different version of this story, placing its occurrence on the day of the election in 1860. The account, as I have given it, was written before I had seen that by Mr. Brooks, and is very nearly as Hay and myself heard it,—the incident making a powerful impression upon my mind. I am quite confident that Mr. Lincoln said it occurred the day he was first nominated; for he related it to us a few hours after having received intelligence of his renomination, saying, “I am reminded of it to-night.” It is possible, however, that I am mistaken in the date. Mr. Brooks’s statement that “Mrs. Lincoln” was “troubled” about it, regarding it as a “sign that Mr. Lincoln would be reëlected, but would not live through his second term,” is undoubtedly correct.8Holland’sLife of Abraham Lincoln.9My “six months” proper, at the White House, terminated, as will be seen, the last week in July, 1864. February and a part of March following I passed in Washington, and was privileged with a renewal of my previous intercourse with Mr. Lincoln.10San Francisco Bulletin.11Noah Brooks,Harper’s Monthly, July, 1865.12Boston Watchman and Reflector.13Abbott’sHistory of the Civil War.14“Accuse not a servant to his master, lest he curse thee, and thou be found guilty.”15Speech at Charleston, September 18th, 1858.16Boston Commonwealth.17Rochester(New York)Express.18Colonel Charles G.
