Extract from book by Orton H. Carmichael: "About nine o'clock Mr. Nicolay, Secretary to the President, went to the room in the Wills House occupied by Lincoln and found him at work upon the address which he was to deliver. He continued to write, so far as the many interruptions gave him opportunity, up to the time it was necessary for him to take his place in the procession."
