Booth in Boston April 1865

[RJNorton]

Lucy seemed to attract plenty of men, however. In addition to Booth I have read that these men also had feelings for her:

1. Robert Lincoln
2. John Hay
3. Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.

According to an article by Dr. Blaine Houmes of this forum, Robert and his Harvard friend, F. P. Anderson, gave Lucy Hale (and her friend, Miss Colby) a book entitled The Battle of Bunker Hill, or The Temple of Liberty; An Historic Poem in Four Cantos.

I believe I have also read that Robert sent her flowers from the White House conservatory.

However, IMO, the story that Lucy and Robert were studying Spanish together (in the White House) on the day of the assassination is probably apocryphal.
