I wonder if Stanton thought that Robert Lincoln would hold very high office, and within Stanton's lifetime --that goodwill he cultivated would come in handy later?

Robert was 21 at the time of the assassination. He was still 14 years away from legally running for President. Do you really think Stanton was looking that far ahead and being falsely nice to Robert Lincoln in 1865? I see no evidence at all that Stanton was not being sincerely (truthfully) sympathetic to Robert in 1865.
