Thank you, jgoins, for providing the links. I found much the same when I Googled the topic. Does this 'earlier draft' exist in any form? I didn't find it. But, I wasn't going to spend all day looking for it either. I found a book that I added to my reading list, Colonization After Emancipation: Lincoln and the Movement for Black Resettlement, by Phillip Magness. There are probably others.
