RE: Lincoln and Ireland
Mary, and all the Todds, were proud of the family's Scots/Irish background. I wonder if this donation was given by her request, or if she even knew of it.

RE: Lincoln and Ireland
That was a lot of money back then. I'm reminded of the famous "Irish Brigade" that would serve Lincoln so well during the Civil War.
