Your guess: "angels" or "ages?"

RE: Your guess: "angels" or "ages?"
Here's what I have on file; I hope it's pretty accurate.

Charles Sumner said that Johnson did visit the dying president for about two minutes in the wee hours of the morning. When Johnson heard that Mary Lincoln wanted to come in and see her husband again, he immediately departed (Mary and Johnson did not like each other) at Sumner's request. Johnson agreed to Sumner's "hint," and he departed the premises saying he felt the space could better be used by doctors and others who could conceivably help Lincoln. He returned to the Kirkwood House.

But Johnson was DEFINITELY NOT THERE at 7:22 A.M. Any depiction of him at the deathbed at the time of death is wrong.
