Trump did not share the contents of the letter, but he told reporters on Tuesday that he appreciated it. "It was a little bit of an inspirational-type letter. Enjoy it. Do a good job. Important, very important how important the job is," he said at the time.

Now, the entire message has been revealed, and it shows Biden's final attempt to bury the hatchet of political mudslinging. In his letter addressed to "47," Biden hoped the coming years would bring the country "prosperity, peace, and grace.". "As I take leave of this sacred office I wish you and your family all the best in the next four years," the note reads, according to Fox News White House Correspondent Peter Doocy.

"The American people - and people around the world - look to this house for steadiness in the inevitable storms of history, and my prayer is that in the coming years will be a time of prosperity, peace, and grace for our nation. "May God bless you and guide you as He has blessed and guided our beloved country since our founding.".
