Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Mother of Lincoln
The second of these documents, as numbered above, is new, so far as I am aware. The marriage bond and the return list were both printed in fac-simile in Nicolay and Hay's Life of Lincoln, but not the certificate. Mrs. Hitchcock does not state where or when it was brought to light; she mentions that gradually the documents [re lating to the marriage] were unearthed, owing largely to the efforts of Mrs. Vauter Vawter] and Mr. Thompson, of Louisville, Kentucky. The certificate is, of course, cumu lative testimony; the return list, taken with the bond, was already conclusive on the fact of the marriage.
