Relax.

Screen shot 2013-11-22 at 6.14.37 PMThere were five versions of the Gettysburg Address. The earliest, known as the Nicolay version (presented by the president to his secretary, John Nicolay) was quite probably the version read at Gettysburg in November, 1863.And no, it did not include the phrase: "under God." So just chill.

With compliments, Keith
