Mary's friends

[kerry]

I have a research question about some of Mary's "friends." There are several sources that mention that William Reid, who worked at the Dundee consulate with Dr. Smith, collaborated with Mary on a book about Lincoln in 1868. It is mentioned in Reid's obituary if you google it. I can't find anything on this work. Was it ever actually published? The obituary makes it seem like it did exist, but I can't find anything published under his name. One article from when he was alive says he has a lot of letters from Mary giving her memories, but he won't have them published until his death. I could see perhaps Robert interfering with that. But the article doesn't mention the work being interfered with. The work is referred to as "The Reminiscences of Abraham Lincoln." Obviously a common title. He moved to Portland eventually and became a businessman. Not sure if this is the same book talked about with the Logan ring story - perhaps it got shut down quickly. I feel like there has to be a copy of it somewhere, though.
