There's a nice photograph of Tad standing alone in the North Drive of the White House.
And, there's also a photograph of the painting titled "The Peacemakers." What a momentous discussion that must have been. With the military officers talking military tactics to defeat General Lee and President Lincoln making reference to the "effusion" of blood on both sides.
The Peacemakers, by G.P.A. Healy, 1868. Seated in the after cabin of the Union steamer River Queen are Maj. Gen. William T. Sherman, Lt. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant, President Abraham Lincoln, and Rear Adm. David D. Porter. The four met in March 1865, less than a week before the fall of Petersburg, Virginia.

Lincoln conducted all the war without stopping thinking of the other side, he never demonized them.

You're all welcome, thank you. Tad seemed to have been a wonderful boy with high standards.
