. . . in which Mrs.
Lincoln was coming into the city this morning from the Soldiers’ Home ran off
in consequence of fright, arising from the driver falling to the ground by the
breaking of his seat. Mrs. L. leaped out and was considerably bruised, and also
received a cut on the back of the head, which bled freely. Surgeons from the
Mt. Pleasant Hospital promptly attended Mrs. L., and the injuries fortunately
not being serious, she was put into a passing carriage, and came on to the
White House.
