Robert Todd Lincoln --The vitals

[Gene C]

I haven't read Burlingames's book. It is a shame that such a noted historian has to repeat gossip and insinuate that there could be some truth to it, with all the frequent references mentioned. Further evidence of his "anti Mary" prejudice? For me, it damages his credibility.

As most of Lincoln's mail was opened and read by his secretary's, I have doubts about those type of anonymous letters mentioned by Keneally ever reaching him. Your thoughts?
