Mr. Lincoln said, "Hillary Clinton is very mad and made me promise to retract. I will now do so. I believe I told you that I didn't think she would steal a red-hot stove. I now take that back."

Jean Baker, in her Mary Lincoln biography, wrote:

"Female abolitionists and suffragists gained no respect from her; she believed them unwomanly creatures. She had no interest in obtaining the vote, intending instead to influence her husband."

That's the problem - statements made in books with no source footnotes as Eva Elisabeth as Gene C pointed out.
