Grant and Lincoln's invitation

[loetar44]

I think we are talking about two separate things. I wasn't talking about Mary Lincoln after the assassination but the Mary Lincoln who snubbed the Sewards and who spent too much money on furnishings for the White House.

Linda I also talked about Mary before April 1865. After the murder of AL it all got much worser for her. I think Mary’s excessive buying behavior was giving her a sense of relief . It was compulsive, she could not control it. This goes imo also for her “compulsive wanting” (right expression?) and her snubbing.

PS: Don't tell my Southern ancestors, but I am an admirer of Gen. Grant. Detest the image that we have of McClellan and would kick him in the shins if I could!

My lips are sealed!
