Description
Thursday, February 28, 1861 P. Cloudy. Wind N.W. Fresh Mr.Lincoln has arrived at last in Washington.... In one week, he inherits the trouble of this great, unhappy country. In one week, the responsibility will be his--whether we come together again a Union,or fall entirely to pieces. And here we sit, in Delaware, on the border between North and South, half the state hauling slaves, half the state opposed to the practice.... It is hard enough to hold a family together. Poor Mr. Lincoln.
