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.

On a personal note, my parents attended the game and were still moved twenty five years later when they discussed it with me.
