Mary's Reputation

[Gene C]

In spite of Mary's shortcomings, the one thing I admire about her was her visits to wounded soldiers. She would visit the wounded, write letters home for them, sometimes tend to their wounds. She did something most "ladies of high society" of her time would never consider. Her actions came from the heart, and not for politcal gain.

Current political leaders, on both sides, could learn from her example.
