Robert Lincoln and the military

[RJNorton]

Kees, Jason Emerson is a member here. I hope he sees your opinion and comments. Another book which says Robert arrived on the 14th is Katherine Helm's Mary: Wife of Lincoln. She is commenting about the situation right after the assassination and writes, "Messengers were sent in every direction, one hastened to the White House to summon Robert Lincoln, who had only that day arrived in Washington."
