Includes holograph (handwritten) addition to published text in pencil on p. [4], signed by author: "As soon as I can get time to do so, I shall write a little booklet on Lincoln, his real character and personality, mental and physical, with memoranda that I have of him, and the distinguished men who were closely associated with him in his great work, whom I knew and whose portraits I have painted from life.

With great respect, Freeman Thorpe."
