Excerpt from The Great Encyclic Epistle: Divided Into Two Parts: The First of Which Was Occasioned by the Death of President Abraham Lincoln, and the Second by the Capture of Jefferson Davis This pamphlet contains a narrative of facts, according to my best know ledge, and hints as to the causes by which they have been produced. Al: though you may not see into these just as I do, I warn you at the begin ning, not to condemn any sentence with which you may not be pleased, until you study thoroughly this entire pamphlet. Then you will see deeper_ also into the causes, and better understand every sentence in connexion with the whole; and you will come nearer to union with me and with those Invisible Agents by whom I am assisted and directed for the fulfilment of the grandest Promises to mankind - and better comprehend and digest the contents of this pamphlet.
