Transcriber's Notes:

The line on page 45 that reads "Johnson let the matter rest
until February 21, 1863," is inaccurate as Lincoln was president on
that date.

The death of Mrs Hayes on page 125 has been corrected from June 25,
1880 to June 25, 1889.

Italics are shown thus: _sloping_.

Variations in spelling and hyphenation are retained.

Perceived typographical errors have been changed.
