W. A. Evans: "Mrs. Abraham Lincoln"

[LincolnToddFan]

Hi Eva,

I have read the Evans book. I can't say I enjoyed it...way too dry and clinical. However the passage of the book I most remembered is the author's opinion that from 1861-1865 MTL should not be held responsible for her behavior. I take this to mean he feels that she was fully under the grip of her illness by the time they she reached the White House.

BTW, that photo of MTL in your post was donated to the WH in the 1920's by the Helm/Todd family. It has hung in the Lincoln Bedroom ever since then.
