In the very last paragraph is the reference of a letter from Napoleon (III, I think) to Edward Everett. What Everett doesn’t know is that in about a year and a half he is going to have the privilege of giving the “other” Gettysburg Address, the two-hour one that no one ever reads. (Lincoln was second-billing on that day.)
Everett died three months before Lincoln, in January 1865, and didn’t see the end of the war except from wherever he ended up for eternity. The only reason most people know him is that a famous movie character actor was named after him, Edward Everett Horton.
