THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER, August 25, 1862  This issue contains on the front page one of the more famous letters from Abraham Lincoln, being his reply to Horace Greeley's editorial of August 20, "A Prayer of Twenty Millions", which urged emancipation. Lincoln replies in his letter with his famous quote: "My paramount object...is to save the Union, and it is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave, I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves, I would do it...", signed in type: A. LINCOLN. The full text of the letter is seen in the photos below. A significant document expressing Lincoln's views on slavery from the middle of the Civil War, and great to have this content on the front page. Complete in 8 pgs., never-trimmed margins, minor loss at the spine does not affect any text. Near the middle of the front leaf are small tears with archival mends to pg. 2, not even close to the Lincoln article.
