Mary Lincoln Extra Credit Questions

[Eva Elisabeth]

Thanks for your thoughts, Roger. While he was worn down I think he was a restless mind and no homebody either. I can't imagine he would really have retired to doing anything "brainy" - despite I think he would have traveled as he himself stated on his last day. But on his last day he also enjoyed to show the conservatory to Mrs. Hess and sister-in-law (if I remember the relation correctly). He still did have an interest in sciences I believe. Maybe he would have studied things simply for himself however.

Another of his original plans were to continue practicing with Herndon. Somehow I feel the presidency has separated the two of them too much for that.
