Lincoln & Herndon

[Eva Elisabeth]

As for Abraham Lincoln's opinion of the Todd family - though we've argued that he might have appreciated into this "aristocratic" clan, what was his opinion of such "status"? As often, I don't recall where and I'm not sure whether he really said this, but he's quoted saying: "One 'd' was enough for God's name, but not for the Todds." If he said this it sounds he was somewhat opposed to the Todd family's self-image?
