Abraham Lincoln and the Eighth Judicial Circuit

[Eva Elisabeth]

I don't know whether this affected his weekends (also as for preparing), but according to Lamon "Mr. Lincoln was always called upon to make the speech for the Whigs. There was never a ‘court week’ when he did not address the people of the county some night in the old brick Courthouse.”, and AFAIK it had been like that quite from the beginning. Just a thought. And Mary had always supported him spending time and efforts on a political career.
