The...Oh, Abraham! He had such a capacity to love. <br /><br />There's a long letter on display at the Lincoln Library in Springfield. Handwritten by the President elect. It was instructions to the family taking the Lincoln's dog. Fido was afraid of train whistles and Abe thought that riding the rails to DC would be torture for Fido so they left him behind. That with everything on his mind -- leaving Eddie's body, free vs. slave states, foreign relations ... (Hell, you're a history teacher! You know what was on his plate better than I do!) And yet he took the time to detail the care of the family dog. I find that so moving.<br /><br />So I suspect his book would leave me a puddle.The Gal Herselfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02566779726191649848noreply@blogger.com
