RE: Robert Lincoln and the military
Unless I've missed something there is not an exact date mentioned of RTL's arrival at the wharf in Washington in the the New York Herald of April 17, 1865. Only this sentence: “His son, Captain Lincoln, breakfasted with him on Friday morning, having just returned from the capitulation of Lee …..”. What is the meaning of "just returned" ??? IMO could be Thursday April 13 late afternoon, or Friday April 14 early morning .... It's still my opinion he arrived the 13th......
