often they are muddled in the mind of herndon. clearly, if you really unpack it, and you have to do is story by story by story, they are all lincoln jokes i got lost in translation by herndon who had no sense of humor. lincoln love to make fun of him and tell his stories purposely. the famous one is where he went to niagara falls after a trip back from washington in 1848. he wrote a note to himself, these false, they were here when christ walked the earth and they were here when the ancient greeks were here. he was really moved by the falls. herndon asked him, what did you think of niagara falls? lincoln said, i just wondered where all that water came from. [laughter] charles: he was making fun of them. i have been quite a man since he left, being manly in the 19th-century was to be assertive and to be in charge. when he broke up the marriage, he wanted speed to take a letter to mary. speed said, are you kidding? you can do that. you have to deliver the letter yourself. there were tears, and mary sat on his lap, and they kissed. t

anguish, the political world was dead herndon road. things were snagged that and i'll hope for progress in the light of freedom seemed to be crushed out. lincoln was speculating with me about the deadness of things and the despair which arose out of it and deeply regretting that his human strength and power were limited by his nature to rouse and stir of the world. he said gloomily, despairingly, sadly oh, how hard it is to die and leave at once country know better if one had never lived for it. the world is dead to hope. death to its own death struggle. may know by universal cry, what is to be done, is anything to be done? who can do anything and how is it to be done? did you ever think of these things? and so lincoln in the depths of his depression almost as soon as lincoln return it to springfield , his wife mary todd lincoln, sent him around back on a mission to her hometown of lexington, kentucky, to serve as the cocounsel to recover the todd family fortune, which was considerable. lincoln found himself thrust into the vortex of h
