Speaker Notes

[Transcribed from vocalisation recording past times A. Lincoln, 11/19/63]
These are some notes on the Gettysburg meeting. I'll whip them into improve shape when I tin instruct on to my computer.

Four score in addition to vii years agone our fathers brought forth on this continent a novel nation, conceived inwards liberty in addition to dedicated to the suggestion that all men are created equal.

Now nosotros are engaged inwards a groovy civil war, testing whether that land or whatsoever land so conceived in addition to so dedicated tin long endure.

We are met on a groovy battlefield of that war.

We cause got come upward to dedicate a component division of that champaign every bit a concluding resting-place for those who hither gave their lives that that land mightiness live.

It is altogether plumbing fixtures in addition to proper that nosotros should produce this. But inwards a larger sense, nosotros cannot dedicate, nosotros cannot consecrate, nosotros cannot hallow this ground.

The brave men, living in addition to dead who struggled hither cause got consecrated it far inwards a higher house our pathetic ability to add together or detract. The populace volition petty Federal Reserve annotation nor long think what nosotros say here, simply it tin never forget what they did here.

It is for us the living rather to live dedicated hither to the unfinished move which they who fought hither cause got therefore far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to live hither dedicated to the groovy undertaking remaining earlier us--that from these honored dead nosotros accept increased devotion to that movement for which they gave the in conclusion amount mensurate of devotion--that nosotros hither highly resolve that these dead shall non cause got died inwards vain, that this land nether God shall cause got a novel nascency of freedom, in addition to that authorities of the people, past times the people, for the people shall non perish from the earth.

Here's today's Patriot-News [Nov. 14, 2013]:

"...In the editorial close President Abraham Lincoln’s speech communication delivered Nov. 19, 1863, inwards Gettysburg, the Patriot & Union failed to recognize its momentous importance, timeless eloquence, in addition to lasting significance. The Patriot-News regrets the error."

Hey, at to the lowest degree they used the proper "regrets the error".
While that is i of the longer delayed retractions it is far from unique. From 2009's "Corrections (belated)":
