Alexander Todd died in the Battle of Baton Rouge in August of 1862. In October 1863 Mary Lincoln said to Emilie Todd Helm, "Willie lives. He comes to me every night and stands at the foot of the bed with the same sweet adorable smile he always has had. He does not always come alone. Little Eddie is sometimes with him, and twice he has come with our brother, Alex."

First time seeing that quote. Thanks for posting. Was this pre or post assassination?
