RE: Robert Todd Lincoln --The vitals
(01-09-2018 10:01 AM)Gene C Wrote: IMO, Lincoln would have gone to NY City, regardless of what Robert was doing, but it probably helped that Robert was in Exeter. I believe other speaking opportunities came as a result of his Cooper Union address, since it was printed in many of the New England newspapers and was well received. Lincoln delivered 12 speeches in 4 states (if I have counted correctly) during his eastern tour, from Feb. 27th through March 10th. He also declined numerous invitations to speak. The Lincoln Log: February 26th - March 11th, 1860. I have endured a great deal of ridicule without much malice; and have received a great deal of kindness, not quite free from ridicule. I am used to it. (Letter to James H. Hackett, November 2, 1863) |
