of this gentle lady in her
last days is given fol lows:
Mrs Lincoln was never able to
speak of Abe,s conduct to her without
tears. In her interview with Mr.. Hern-
DON when the sands of her life had
nearly run out. she spoke with deep
emotion of her own son. but said she
thought that Abe was kinder, better,
truer, than the other Even the moth
er's instinct was lost she looked
back over those long years of poverty
and privation in the Indiana cabin.
when Abe's grateful love softened the
rigors of her lot, and his great heart
and giant frame were always at her
