Did Lincoln Regret Marrying Mary?

[Mike B.]

Thanks Eva.
I know differences on Mary emotions run high.
I am not trying to pick fights. If you are not convinced by me, I am OK with that.
I am also aware of Mary's very positive qualities, she was without doubt very intelligent, well educated, witty, a good writer, and very muched loved her children and her husband. I am also convinced some of her faults lay with psychological problems beyond her control as per Dr. James Brust. I just think the evidence that she was a major reason he was President isn't very strong and consists mostly of some ex post facto opinions and some misunderstandings of Lincoln like from Edward Evertt.

Mike, that book is on my wish list. I was unaware that you co-edited that chapter. Another good reason I need to get that book.

Thanks Gene,
I co-edited the book with Frank Williams.
I wrote a chapter on that very point and would appreciate feedback from you.
