翻译：

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We have met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives so that the nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate – we can not consecrate –we can mot hallow –this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.

His working day started in his office before breakfast and was followed by reading papers, signing documents and seeing ministers. After a light lunch, he might ride, or drive with his wife, perhaps visiting a soldiers’ hospital or a camp. After supper he might return for another three hours in his office or walk alone without a guard with a long grey shawl round his shoulders, to see what telegrams were coming in to the War Department, returning home around midnight.
