RE: Extra Credit Questions
I was going to guess Nicolay's compatriot, Mr. Hay.
Here's some interesting information to back up whoever said it (if it refers to the billeting in the Capitol): https://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/20...ol-at-war/ |

RE: Extra Credit Questions
This is one of the very few handwritings of the "story" I can read, so I'm, too, guessing a secretary. I think Hay was the younger one, and this looks rather like written by a young man.

RE: Extra Credit Questions
All are good guesses, but none correct.
Hint #1: The correct answer is a person definitely known to this forum. It's not a new name. |

Was he young at the time he wrote/observed this? (My definition of young = 30 or younger.)
Not that young but - Walt Whitman? (Although he possibly /likely wasn't in DC then.) |

RE: Extra Credit Questions
Nope, Steve, it was not Robert Lincoln.
Eva, yes, the right answer was under 30 when he wrote those lines. It's not Walt Whitman. |
