RE: He Served in Place of Abraham Lincoln
When I saw this post, I seemed to remember that Tarbell did some research on this when she was writing her second series of articles on Lincoln for McClure's. Sure enough, there are two letters in her papers regarding this, although they don't really shed much light on Staples. Here are the links to the letters. And Joe, as always, I agree 100 percent with you.

Abraham Lincoln is the only man, dead or alive, with whom I could have spent five years without one hour of boredom.

I want the respect of intelligent men, but I will choose for myself the intelligent.
