Nope, not Julia Edwards or Vinnie Ream.
Hint #2: This person lived in Washington with her mother.

Anna Surratt ?
RE: Who Said This? - RJNorton - 11-01-2024 08:08 AM
Kudos, Gene! Anna Surratt it is. On April 28, 1865, Anna was being questioned by Colonel John A. Foster. She was asked if Lewis Powell were a handsome fellow. She responded, "I would not know - I have not seen any remarkably handsome men since I have been in Washington. I didn't like him."

Please, no googling.
Who said the following regarding Abraham Lincoln's Second Inauguration?
"I felt then that there was murder in the air, and I kept close to his carriage on the way to the Capitol, for I felt that I might see him fall that day."

Walt Whitman?
RE: Who Said This? - J. Beckert - 01-24-2025 10:23 PM
Ward Hill Lamon?
RE: Who Said This? - RJNorton - 01-25-2025 05:44 AM
Nope, it was neither Whitman nor Lamon.
RE: Who Said This? - Gene C - 01-25-2025 10:46 AM
Interesting that he says "felt" instead of "feared"
I'll guess someone in his cabinet. Since he kept an extensive diary, Gideon Welles ?
RE: Who Said This? - RJNorton - 01-25-2025 11:41 AM
Nope, the person was not in Lincoln's Cabinet.

Was it Crook?
RE: Who Said This? - RJNorton - 01-25-2025 02:00 PM
Nope, but it is a person that has been previously mentioned on this forum.
RE: Who Said This? - AussieMick - 01-25-2025 03:33 PM
I was thinking of this before and Gene reminded me ... Lewis Powell?
RE: Who Said This? - RJNorton - 01-25-2025 04:47 PM
Nope, not Powell.
