Last Photograph of Abraham Lincoln Six Weeks before his Death. Engraved from the 0?iginal Photograph taken on the Balcony of the White House ^ March 6, 1865. Appendix Appendix I ■^HE FOLLOWING letters and speechesnot included in the original Nicolay andHay edition of the Works of AbrahamLincoln have come to light too late forinsertion in their regular places. The discovery ofmuch of this new matter, as well as much which isincluded in the body of the work, is due to the co-operation of numerous collectors: particularly tothose mentioned in the Preface, and to Mr. GilbertA. Tracy, of Putnam, Connecticut. In addition tothe new matter here given, a certain number of otheritems have been discovered. Most of them have beenexcluded because they merely duplicated much of thetext and some because they are of at least doubtfulorigin. It is believed, however, that no importantauthentic letter or speech of Lincoln has been omitted. Reputed First Political Speech March (?), 1832.Fellow-Citizens
