RE: Who is this person?
All 3 of you are correct. It is Wilma Francis Minor who said she had letters written by Abraham Lincoln and Ann Rutledge proving the two had a relationship. The problem was that they were all forgeries.
Here is a fraudulent sample of Abraham writing to Ann: My Beloved Ann: ...I am borrowing Jacks horse to ride over to see you this coming Saturday. cutting my foot prevents my walking. I will be at your pleasure to accompany you to the Sand Ridge taffy-pull. I will be glad to hear your Father's sermon on the Sabbath. I feel unusually lifted with hope of relieving your present worry at an early date and likewise doing myself the best turn of my life. with you my beloved all things are possible. now James kindly promises to deliver into your dear little hands this letter. may the good Lord speed Saturday afternoon. affectionately A. Lincoln Here is a fradulent sample of Ann writing to Abraham: my hart runs over with hapynes when I think yore name. I do not beleave I can find time to rite you a leter every day. stil I no as you say it wood surely improve my spelling and all that... I dreem of yore ... words every nite and long for you by day. I mus git super now. all my hart is ever thine. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilma_Frances_Minor |
