The Bixby Letter In fact, the Widow Bixby had only lost two sons and was also likely a brothel owner and a Confederate sympathiser, who had destroyed the letter in anger. Fortunately, the Adjutant General of Massachusetts, William Shouler, who had requested the letter from Lincoln, sent a copy to the Boston Evening Transcript. The Bixby Letter The Bixby Letter is considered to be one of the greatest pieces of correspondence in the history of the United States and one of Lincoln’s most celebrated texts, only surpassed by the Gettysburg Address and the Emancipation Proclamation. It has also become part of public culture, for example being featured in the movie Saving Private Ryan and being recited by President George W.

Despite being signed by President 18 Abraham Lincoln, some historians have claimed that its true author was John Hay, Lincoln’s 19 personal secretary. Analyses of the letter have been inconclusive in part because the text 20 totals only 139 words and is thus far too short to be attributed using standard methods. To 21 test whether Lincoln or Hay wrote this letter, we therefore introduce and apply a new 22 technique for attributing short texts called n-gram tracing. After demonstrating that our 23 method can distinguish between the known writings of Lincoln and Hay with a very high 24 degree of accuracy, we use it to attribute the Bixby Letter, concluding that the text was 25 authored by John Hay – rewriting this one episode in the history of the United States and 26 offering a solution to one of the most persistent problems in authorship attribution.

  • Abraham Lincoln Papers
    Abraham Lincoln papers 1 From Abraham Lincoln to Lydia Bixby , November 21, 1864 1 There is no handwritten copy of this famous letter known, either in this collection or elsewhere. The only source for its text is a newspaper account in the Boston Transcript for November 25, 1864. The document at hand appears to be a photographic copy of the notice in the Transcript. At the request of Massachusetts Governor John A. Andrew, a letter was sent over the president's signature to a Boston widow, Mrs. Lydia Bixby, who was reported to be the mother of five sons killed fighting for the Union. In spite of the fact that it has long been known that Mrs. Bixby was probably a Confederate sympathizer and that only two of her sons had actually been killed, the letter is among the most admired of all writings ascribed to Lincoln. Questions about its authenticity have centered on stories that this was one of the many letters that John Hay, Lincoln's secretary, had written for Lincoln's signature. Accounts began to surface in the early 20th century that Hay had privately admitted his authorship of the Bixby letter. It has recently been shown that Hay kept clippings of the letter in his literary scrapbooks, and that his writings betray a fondness for words that were not in Lincoln's vocabulary. Two of the words in the letter's most famous passages, for example — “beguile” and “assuage” — do not appear in any of Lincoln's other writings. For a full statement of the case for Hay's authorship, see Michael Burlingame, “The Authorship of the Bixby Letter,” in Michael Burlingame, ed., At Lincoln's Side: John Hay's Civil War Correspondence and Selected Writings, (Carbondale and Edwardsville: Southern Illinois University Press, 2000), 169-84.

  • 28. Bixby Letter of Condolence 29. Lincoln
    28. BIXBY LETTER OF CONDOLENCE T he original of the Bixby letter apparently has been lost. It has been alleged that this famous letter was not written by Lincoln. Recently, a certain distin- guished American educator stated that he was told in 1912 by Lord Morley that John Hay, one of Lincoln's private secretaries, told him in 1905 that he wrote the letter. Lincoln scholars remain unconvinced. It is pointed out that the Bixby letter shows all the qualities of Lincoln's literary style. Regardless of the dispute that has developed over the authorship of this letter, it is given below as a Lincoln document. As a message of con dolen ce it is generally con- sidered unsurpassed. Dear M adam: I HAVE BEEN SHOWN IN THE FILES OF THE THAT MAY BE FOUND IN THE THANKS OF THE REPUBLIC THEY WAR DEPARTMENT A STATEMENT OF THE AdjutAnt- DIED TO SAVE. I PRAY THAT OUR HEAVENLY FATHER MAY GENERAL OF MaSSACHUSETTS THAT YOU ARE THE MOTHER OF ASSUAGE THE ANGUISH OF YOUR BEREAVEMENT, AND LEAVE FIVE SONS WHO HAVE DIED GLORIOUSLY ON THE FIELD OF YOU ONLY THE CHERISHED MEMORY OF THE LOVED AND LOST, BATTLE.

Spring 2001 Burlingame, Michael and Hay, John. At Lincoln's Side: John Hay's Civil War Correspondence and Selected Writings. Southern Illinois University Press, 2000-04-01. ISBN 809322935 Modern White House staffers are far removed from their original role as "passionate anonyms." Today they wield power once reserved for cabinet secretaries. Simultaneously, the number of employees in the White House has expanded from a handful during Lincoln's administration to several hundred. Yet some White House staff characteristics have not changed. Lincoln's "secretaries" were young; today's White House employees tend to be young. Supporting the president is still the essential purpose of staff, although nowadays support of the First Lady is just as needed. Conflicts between Mary Todd Lincoln and her husband's staff foreshadowed the role that First Ladies now enjoy. Civil War correspondence not destroyed by John Hay as well as several selections from his other writings are contained in At Lincoln's Side.
