Gene, you are making me laugh! I am very sorry, but all of your guesses are wrong!

Eva and Joe, I am very sorry but all your guesses are incorrect.

Hint #1: The reference to infidelity in this man's case came before he was elected President.

Rob, you got it. Kudos. The quote is from a letter written July 7, 1867.

Your prize is simply the very best wishes for a speedy and successful recovery from your surgery.

RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia
Joan Chaconas, a staff member here at Surratt House, was just praising a book this morning that she had finished reading last night about James A. Garfield. Entitled Dark Horse: The Surprise Election and Political Murder of President James A. Garfield, it was written by Kenneth Ackerman and published in 2011.

Joan expected the book to be dry and uninteresting, but found that she couldn't put it down. This man had a very "interesting" life and an unfortunate end -- which was excruciating.

Laurie,

I also highly recommend Candace Millard's DESTINY OF THE REPUBLIC on the Garfield assassination.

RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia
Let's try one more presidential infidelity trivia question. Which First Lady said the following of her husband?

"You have to understand, my husband loved people. All people. And half of the people in the world were women. You don't think I could have kept my husband away from half the people?"

I say again Nancy Reagan (the comment matches an actor's image) or Jackie Kennedy. (But this might be too simple)

RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia
I won't guess another name, but it sounds pretty much as if the president was in office during the second half of the last century and is not alife anymore.
