Athens Greece March 24th/65 To His Excellence the President of U.S.A. Hon Abraam Lincoln Dear Sir I trust you will be indulgent with us, for the sake of the Bible & of America, in attempting to teach you, now on the last score of human life, the Greek language & appoint you, while most busily engaged in America, an assistant Bibleman among the Greeks. I was so deeply impressed with the beneficial influence of the "Pioneer Boy" that I could not rest till it was prepared for Greek readers. The task was a grateful one inasmuch as it was at once Christian <hr /> & patriotic; on the one hand, it tells both parents & children of every class that the Bible is the safest guide to prosperity, while on the other, it gives proper information about America. Taking advantage of the text, I have added some foot-notes stasticals & exegetical of American character & institutions, not known in the East & have also added a Supplement wherein I give a brief & comprehensive account of the causes, the prospects & the conduct of the war as well as a discription of the state of the country at the outset, besides a summary of the principal events, accomplished under your administration <hr /> Its language is very simple that can be read by children & the price very low in order that even the poorest may purchase, as I most gratefully have given the labour. A thousand lithographs were ordered to come from the States which came too late to be inserted in the copy I forward to your Excellency. Please therefore accept a copy of the "Pioneer Boy" as a specimen of the Greek edition, It is accompanied with our prayers, the greatest gift & the only one a Bible man can offer for his country & its President, at times like these.
