Assassination

[Anita]

Roger, thanks for your post. I feel better knowing Mary received letters of condolence from all over the world. I was under the impression she was pretty much ignored and her grief unacknowledged by all but closest friends and family.

Other than Edwin, I can't think that any other member of the Booth family would express sympathies to Mrs. Lincoln and the sons. I don't say this because they were unkind people; I think they were so caught up in being arrested and absorbing the shame that the grief and terror that Mrs. Lincoln was feeling did not enter their heads.

Good point. It had to be devastating for them.

Do you know if Edwin and Robert Lincoln ever crossed paths? Anita
