Thanks for reblogging this wonderful letter.
Jennie, that’s great! I hadn’t heard of it before. It reminds me of the Desiderata – not aimed specifically at teachers, but as with Lincoln’s request, good advice for all. You can find it here: http://mwkworks.com/desiderata.html
Thank you, John!
So interesting and informative of Abraham Lincoln’s love for his son. It was such a great way to express it, Jennie. 🙂
I thought so, too. Imagine what that letter would have been for the teacher. His son went to Exeter in NH, a horse and buggy ride that must have taken months from Washington. I don’t know if it was to a teacher then, or earlier on. Regardless, it puts humanity and my job into the forefront.
