A Quaker Letter to Lincoln - An Heartfelt Plea for Peace and Reconciliation
EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant image depicts a handwritten letter penned by Elmer Ruan Coates, a Quaker minister, addressed to President Abraham Lincoln during the tumultuous year of 1863. The letter, dated May 9, was a heartfelt appeal for peace and reconciliation during the height of the American Civil War. Coates, a prominent Quaker leader and peace activist, wrote the letter in the hopes of persuading Lincoln to reconsider his military strategies and find a diplomatic solution to the ongoing conflict. The Quakers, known for their commitment to nonviolence and pacifism, believed that the carnage of war was not only unnecessary but also morally reprehensible. The text of the letter is inscribed on the parchment, with Coates' elegant handwriting conveying a sense of urgency and compassion. The words express the Quakers' deep concern for the human cost of the war and their belief that a peaceful resolution was still possible. The haunting melody that accompanies this image is by E.M. Bruce, adding an emotional depth to the scene. The music, which was composed specifically for this letter, underscores the gravity of the situation and the urgency of Coates' message. This powerful image serves as a poignant reminder of the role that individuals and communities can play in shaping history, even during the most tumultuous of times. It is a testament to the enduring power of peaceful dialogue and the importance of standing up for one's beliefs, even in the face of adversity.
