Well, wouldn't there actually be different constitutional considerations
depending on whether the letter was sent but not released, or sent and
released? Or would there be? And if there were (or were not),
why?
And, obviously, yes, this is the Lincoln letter to Mrs. Bixby (slightly
I apologize for responding to this post at this late date. However, I
want to refer everybody to Lupu's piece (the name of which escapes me)
in which he establishes a grid analysis of the two clauses.
If I understand him aright, it goes something like this:
