Lincoln "told us much about his visit to Richmond, & that one of his last [?] acts was going through a hospital of seven thousand men, & shaking hands with each one. He spoke of working as hard at it as sawing wood - & seemed, in his goodness of heart, much satisfied at the labor. He spoke of the escort that met him & took him into Richmond - & his son Robert with them."

I believe that is Fanny's mistake. Robert was not along for the walk. Tad was.
