GDG- fatal first of Jan. '41

[Dennis Lawrence]

Friday, January 1, 1841.
Springfield, IL.


On this "fatal first of Jan. '41," Lincoln passes through an emotional 
crisis, the exact nature of which is unknown. One story is that he failed 
to appear at his own wedding; but more probably he broke his engagement 
with Mary Todd . Whatever the occurrence, result was acute mental anguish.
