<<"My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or destroy slavery.">>

You and L. Long have left out the last line of this letter:

"I have here stated my purpose according to my view of official duty; and I intend no modification of my oft-expressed personal wish that all men everywhere could be free."

This letter was written during the heart of the Civil War and after a draft of the Emancipation Proclamation had already been written.
