That's not the "local press." That's the New York Times. The Times correspondent was THERE.

And yet source after source repeat that Mrs. Lincoln was in Harrisburg and came down later in the day. I guess they're all lying.

A "local paper" would be one published in Baltimore. The NYT had their correspondent on the train with Lincoln. They were supportive of and trusted by Lincoln. If the Tribune reported on this incident (which you said never happened!) I am not aware of it.

I apologize for the poor quality of the image previously posted. I believe this one will be clearer.
