Grant and Lincoln's invitation

[L Verge]

Kees, I think it is safe to say that most people have moments when they cannot control their actions or words, no matter how hard they try. You are not alone in experiencing circumstances that can change our personalities. Unfortunately, many never regain their original personalities. I think that Mrs. Lincoln (and many other historical personalities) have had the misfortune of having authors place their own opinions and psychoanalysis of these people first and foremost in order to suit their own purposes.

PS: Don't tell my Southern ancestors, but I am an admirer of Gen. Grant. Detest the image that we have of McClellan and would kick him in the shins if I could!
