    Joanna Lane's original "Lincoln Memories" letter

  • Description

    Page three of the original, handwritten "Lincoln Memories" letter by Mrs. Henry S. Lane Feb 1909

  • Transcription

    Many unjust criticisms have been cast upon Mrs. Lincoln while in the White House. She made a great mistake soon after going there when the newspapers reported she was to give a large ball in the East room - but Secretary Seward and other judicious advisers persuaded her to omit the dancing and have only the ordinary reception. This was early in the war and the public conscience was shocked with this appearance of levity and indifference to the weeping and wailing all around us. Mrs. Lincoln was born in Ky and had succession relatives there but she was true to her husband and country loyal to the country but unhappily could not attach women to her, was cold and unresponsive in temperament.

    Page one of the original, handwritten "Lincoln Memories" letter by Mrs. Henry S. Lane Feb 1909

  • Transcription

    The Swiss Government in passing resolutions of condolence on the death of Lincoln said "he was the man with the brow of iron, and the heart of gold. These were words fitly spoken and all who ever came in contact with him recognized the divine charity which forgives all sin and pities all suffering. If he ever erred it was on the side of mercy in pardoning rebels whom others had convicted and thought guilty of severe punishment many women came to him during that awful war of Rebellion asking him to commute the sentence passed upon a beloved husband or son. Always their requests were granted
