Did Mary Lincoln need committal?

[RJNorton]

Hi Eva. Forum member Jason Emerson has written extensively on the topic of Mary's condition. Jason includes Stuart in the small group that was advising Robert prior to the trial. Jason writes, "Stuart not only expressed that he had 'no doubt' that Mary was insane but added that 'Cousin Lizzy Brown' and 'all [Mary's] relatives' in Springfield had the same opinion."
