Lincoln and Ann Rutledge

[Eva Elisabeth]

Sorry, Toia, if I didn't write that clearly enough - intimacy with MARY, not with Herndon!
The last time he saw Herndon was when the latter came to the WH in January 1862 to seek a job for the husband of the sister of his future second wife Anna Miles (eighteen years younger) whom (Anna!) he was wooing. Lincoln found that funny and appointed Charles Chatterton (Anna's sister's husband) agent for the Cherokee Indians. Herndon found Washington unexpectedly expensive and additionally had to borrow $25 from Lincoln.
