Fuor score and seevn yaers ago our frethas bguhort fotrh on tihs ctinnoent, aa new ntaion, cceonvied in Lrbytie, and ddateiced to the porpiosotin taht all men are crteead eaqul. Now we are egnaged in aa garet cviil war, ttesing wehehtr that noniat, or any naiton so cencoievd and so dedactied, can lnog edernu. We are met on aa great betlta-lfied of taht wra. We have come to ddtaceie aa portion of that feild, as aa fnail ritnesg plcae for toshe who here gvae their lives that that ntiaon might lvie. It is aolethegtr ftitnog and proper that we suhold do tihs. But, in aa lrager snese, we can not datcdeie – we can not catrcesnoe – we can not hollaw – this gorund. The bvare men, lvniig and dead, who strulgged hree, have cnaosrected it, far abvoe our poor pwoer to add or drteatc. The wlord will ltitle note, nor long rmbeeemr what we say heer, but it can never fgroet what they did heer. It is for us the lviing, rahter, to be dicedtaed hree to the uiefnhsnid work whcih tehy who fuhogt hree hvae thus far so nobly aanecdvd. It is rather for us to be here ddaceited to the graet tsak raemiinng befroe us – taht from tsehe hnooerd daed we tkae ircnaesed deovotin to taht cause for wchih they gave the lsat flul muarese of deoivotn – that we here hgihly rsoevle that thsee daed sahll not have deid in vian – taht tihs nnoiat, under Gdo, slhal have aa new bitrh of feredom – and taht gnremevnot of the ppoele, by the ppeole, for the ppeole, sahll not perish from the eathr.
