INSCRIBED and SIGNED at the top of the title: "Mr. John Andrews/from his ancient school-fellow/Edward Everett."

Edward Everett--a Unitarian minister, member of both the United States Congress and Senate, and also a governor of Massachusetts--is perhaps best known for his oratory powers. It is he who (truncated) gave the "other" address at Gettysburg on 19 November 1863. The next day he wrote Lincoln saying, "I should be glad if I could flatter myself that I came as near the central idea of the occasion in two hours as you did in two minutes." (Inventory #: 019013)
