Mary Lincoln's presence at Abraham's death-bed

[L Verge]

Let me try to get this right

Dr. Baker wrote that book so long ago that I suspect she can't remember her sources. She has to be rather elderly now because it has been at least twenty years since she spoke before the Surratt Society, and she was probably about sixty then. Since I am older than that now, I can safely compare ages without disrespect.

Wow, I'm impressed, that would put you over 80. You sure don't look it.

Southern ladies hold their age well, Gene. You should know that from living in Kentucky.
