I believe I've read that he had a prodigious memory for whatever he had read. Not having that capacity myself I'm trying to remember where I came across the notion. I am thinking it was probably Daniel Epstein's The Lincolns: Portrait of a Marriage, since that's the biography I read latest, but I'm not sure. Or maybe Bray's Reading With Lincoln. 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) |
