Abraham Lincoln is the only man, dead or alive, with whom I could have spent five years without one hour of boredom.

Nope, not Julia Edwards or Vinnie Ream.

Hint #2: This person lived in Washington with her mother.

Kudos, Gene! Anna Surratt it is. On April 28, 1865, Anna was being questioned by Colonel John A. Foster. She was asked if Lewis Powell were a handsome fellow. She responded, "I would not know - I have not seen any remarkably handsome men since I have been in Washington. I didn't like him."

Please, no googling.

Who said the following regarding Abraham Lincoln's Second Inauguration?

"I felt then that there was murder in the air, and I kept close to his carriage on the way to the Capitol, for I felt that I might see him fall that day."

Interesting that he says "felt" instead of "feared"

I'll guess someone in his cabinet. Since he kept an extensive diary, Gideon Welles ?
