Did Mary Lincoln need committal?

[RJNorton]

Eva, regarding #1, I scanned these two documents from pp. 146-147 of Carl Sandburg's Mary Lincoln: Wife and Widow. The first one is Dr. Ralph Isham's certification that he had examined Mary. The second one is an application to the court to try Mary on the question of sanity. It lists witnesses who should be summoned. Personally I have not seen an actual trial transcript. Does one exist? I do not know. All I have seen is testimony at her trial as reported in newspapers. There is a book titled The Insanity File: The Case of Mary Todd Lincoln. I do not have that particular book and do not know what it contains. Possibly someone else does.
