How about this:

It was a cloudy November day in 1863 when thousands gathered to hear renowned orator Edward Everett dedicate a national cemetary at the site of a pivotal battle early in July of that year. Also present to deliver "a few appropriate remarks" was the President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln spoke but 278 words; Everett later wrote to the President, "I should be glad, if I could flatter myself that I came as near to the central idea of the occasion, in two hours, as you did in two minutes."

Though there are surviving transcripts of Everett's lengthly speech, it is Lincoln's words which have come to be known as "The Gettysburg Address"

I would MC this for you Shurtagal, but I feel at the moment as if I have a lot of projects at a stage where they need my attention. If another MC doesn't come along to snag you up, I'll take your second project as an MC too

Ah don't worry about the duplication! We're glad to have your file. It's nice for listeners to have a choice of readers.

I've downloaded and proof-listened -- sounds good! You might want to slow down a hair for your next recording :)

Working on cataloging now -- will post again when the catalog page is up!

Do you want to be listed as "Shurtagal" on the catalog page, and do you have a personal url?

Oh yes, thanks for the summary, Chip!
