Santa Cruz, California
Received by F.A.B.
I am here, Abraham Lincoln.
I come to confirm the message you have just received from
my assassin. In my heart, I did not hate. The war unnerved
me, to be sure. But sustaining me was a conviction about
the preservation of the Union, that not even death could
undo. And when I entered this world of spirits, I could
not help feeling joyous that the great ordeal of life, and
specifically the at times unbearable pressures that
assailed me, were gone forever. Naturally, I grieved for
my family and for the grief my death caused to others. But
I had learned that life was based on higher principles,
and to these higher principles, I cleaved. They gave me
the strength to love my enemy.
I did not have a clear idea at all at what awaited me.
Many things were strange. But what was not strange was the
survival over here of all those things I held dear on
Earth.
My fondest wishes for a new year of happiness and true
success is my desire for you.
Sincerely, Abraham Lincoln
