Lessons from a Newly Discovered Abraham Lincoln Letter

We’ve included part of a recently discovered letter signed by Abraham Lincoln as fodder for today’s tip which was discovered while searching unindexed records at the National Archives. The discovery reminds us:

  • Not all records have been digitized.
  • Many records are unindexed.
  • You never know what’s waiting to be discovered.

Thanks to Jonathan Deiss of Soldiersource.com for making the discovery and letting us share it with readers.
