[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Mother Sheehan

The guy has tin ear.

I feel how weak and fruitless must be any words of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering to you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the Republic [your sons] died to save. I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours, to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of Freedom.

Yours, very sincerely and respectfully,

Abraham Lincoln (Nov. 21, 1864)

"Mother Sheehan"

Not at all. Remember Mother Jones.

Now, Mother Sheehan's problem is that she's still around to embarrass herself.
