RE: Robert Lincoln and the military
Eva, #11 reads as follows:

RTL to Alice James, October 8, 1921, RTL Collection, Phillips Exeter Academy; Bullock, "President Lincoln's Visiting Card," 567, also in R.R. Wilson, Lincoln Among His Friends, 357-358.

Regarding the letter John S. Goff uses it in a footnote for his use of April 14th as the date of Robert's arrival in Washington. Prior to the release of Jason Emerson's wonderful book, John S. Goff's was considered the definitive biography of Robert T. Lincoln IMO.
