RE: Who wrote this letter?
Rob you are so close. Indeed Washburne was waiting at the station when Lincoln's train arrived.

The writer is Frances Miller Seward writing from Auburn to husband Henry.

Interesting note that Seward claimed he was at the station but Washburne says he didn't show up. Pinkerton agreed with Washburne.
