Victory!

Today, Lincoln was elected! Our hard work was rewarded, at last!

Having photographed Mr. Lincoln on several occations, I have come to call him a good friend. His victory warms my heart, and I wish him the best of luck in his presidency.

I am so happy to have helped bring Mr. Lincoln to this point. Printing my portraits greatly aided his campaign. I helped bring his face and message to the people of this nation.

Mr. Lincoln went as far as to announce "'Brady made me President!'", but I was simply filling an "obligation to my country to preserve the faces of its historic men and mothers".
