Queen Victoria Consoles Mary Todd Lincoln
This moving letter of condolence to Mary Todd Lincoln, suffering from the shock of her husbands assassination, was written by Queen Victoria of Great Britain from her residence on the Isle of Wight, the place to which she frequently withdrew under the weight of melancholy over the loss of her own husband, Prince Albert. The prince was, she told Mrs. Lincoln, the light of my Life my stay my all. His death in 1861 had left her utterly broken-hearted.
