Bixby Letter

And by the way...

So my sermon series through the end of my time at Jefferson is going to use the motif of "letters." So this week one of the things I've been researching is famous letters. Of course one of the best know is Abraham Lincoln's Bixby letter. If you're not a history buff, you may remember it being quoted in Saving Private Ryan. Interestingly (and perhaps sadly) my research led me to find out that not everything is as simple as it seems with the letter (isn't that how things usually turn out...!).

Check out any write up on this to see what I mean...of course there's always Wikipedia:
