Lincoln's Farewell Address at Springfield, Illinois
My Friends, No one not in my situation can appreciate my feeling of sadness at this parting. To this place, and the kindness of these people, I owe everything. Here I have lived a quarter of a century, and have passed from a young to an old man. Here my children have been born, and one is buried. I now leave, not knowing when or whether ever I may return, with a task before me greater than that which rested upon Washington. Without the assistance of that Divine Being who ever attended him I cannot succeed. With that assistance I cannot fail. Trusting in Him, who can go with me and remain with you, and be everywhere for good, let us confidently hope that all will yet be well. To His care commending you, as I hope in your prayers you will commend me, I bid you an affectionate farewell.

The speech was delivered in Springfield, Illinois in February 1861 and was destined to the citizens of Illinois. Moreover, Lincoln's aim (that is, his purpose) was to show gratefulness for the support he had received. However, he also delivered the speech to say goodbye; for that reason, its subject was Lincoln's farewell from Illinois.
