And so, William Herndon seemed to have some empathy towards Mrs. Lincoln. I note that he refers to Lincoln as "absent-minded." It makes me pause for a moment. I have not viewed him that way? Wonder what evidence Herndon might have had for that?

Thanks Bill!

I don't know what made WH describe MTL's nature as "austere". From all descriptions she sounded turbulent, emotional, impulsive, extravagant and unstable.

The very opposite of an austere nature or personality. It confirms my belief that Hendon did not know Mary's true self very well at all.
