Sons and parents

A great big THANK YOU to everyone who replied!!

After I made the post above I thought of another way Robert may have found out about Abraham's supposed comment to Mary about the asylum. This is because it was in Lizzie's 1868 book that revealed intimate conversations, letters, details, etc. of the Lincoln family. Laurie, you asked if Lizzie really made the incident public - yes, she did. Both Mary and Robert were furious with this book. According to Jean Baker, Mary read the book. But I do not know if Robert did. I have read that he had the book suppressed (or attempted to), but I do not know if he did this after reading the book or simply hearing about its contents. Has anyone ever read whether or not Robert actually read the book?
