Part 3 — Scene IV. Lincoln and Mrs. Lincoln Driving to the Theatre.

Lincoln Mary, the war is over. We have had Hard times since we came here. But now, thank God, The war is over. We may hope for peace, And happiness for the four years that remain, While I close up my work as President. Then back to Illinois to rest and live. I have some money saved. Wrote recently To friends to find a house for me in Chicago— We can live there, or Springfield. Law again, At least enough to keep us. Mrs. Lincoln That’s my dream, And from this night we start to live, rejoice.
