I looked on the internet, but couldn't find it then gave up. Can anyone find Gehrig's full farewell speech?

Searching Gehrig
farewell speech text came up with a couple of sites.
http://miscbaseball.wordpress.com/2011/04/26/lou-gehrigs-farewell-speech-on-july-4-1939/On a personal note, my parents attended the game and were still moved twenty five years later when they discussed it with me.
