Tarbell on Otto Eisenschiml

[John Stanton]

Some time ago, I wrote an article about what was going on, on April 14th. I had some incidents where Stanton did what Lincoln wanted, when Stanton wanted the same thing, but when it didn't suit Stanton'd adgenda, he would defie Lincoln and do something entirely different. I need to hunt that story down. Stanton did not "adore" Lincoln. At times he felt he knew more than the Boss. I forget the exact details -but I will find them. They may have been real buddies, and it didn't make any difference. (Let me look around.)
