Mary Lincoln's presence at Abraham's death-bed

[Rogerm]

With regard to law, I think Lincoln once said that Robert, with all of his educational opportunities, would never have as much fun practicing law as he had; probably referring to some of his time on the circuit with his lawyer friends. Mary Lincoln might have been most similar to Hilary Clinton in the twenty-first century. However, as you suggest, Eva, her explosive temper might have kept her from running for political office.
