Who Wrote This Letter? "Mr. Lincoln Is Not Man Enough"

From Selma, August 4, 1861.

"I do not think of peace and know well Mr. Lincoln is not man enough to dare make it.  He is but a tool in the hands of his party and would not brave and would not brave their wrath by such a proposition.  How nobly he could redeem himself if he had the courage.

"He is no more fitted for office than many others who have recently occupied it, and we may date our trouble from the time when we allowed party to place in the chair a President entirely disregarding his worth, ability, or capacity for it, and I hope our Confederacy may guard against it.

"Elodie Todd"

Any guesses who she might be?
