This sentence almost certainly refers to the "Hay draft," as there is no fragment, note, or writing of any kind in Lincoln's hand of the Gettysburg Address aside from the five well-known holograph versions of the Address. [1]

RFV-sense of "hologram". Present in M-W and AHD, but its existence is contested by an IP user on my talk page, who argues that it should not be the first definition and mentions a risk of what some call citogenesis. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 16:38, 7 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

These all seem valid attestations to me: [2] [3] [4] [5] However, this usage has apparently invited disapproving comment and it might be more common in the United States than elsewhere. In any event, this meaning seems less common than the other meaning of holograph. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 16:46, 7 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
