Grant Invite

[RJNorton]

Hi Rich. That is what it says in Epstein's book on p. 500.

After the "incident" between the two women at City Point I believe the tension was palpable. It is my opinion that Julia Grant wanted nothing to do with Mary Lincoln (and vice-versa). Epstein writes, "...the invitation rudely neglected to include Mrs. Grant." Perhaps an arrangement was made, but I will bet it didn't include the two ladies riding together to see the illumination.
