RE: The death of Tad Lincoln
Jim, you touched on what struck me the most about that letter Mary wrote to Eliza Slataper. Jean Baker writes in Mary Todd Lincoln: A Biography that "In Willie's death Mary Lincoln lost her favorite son..." And we know how deeply Mary mourned for Willie. But it sounds from that letter that she took Tad's death even harder.
