		It is not irrelevant that Thomas Chamberlin was widowed, married again, and in all fathered nine children; that no one else in Lincoln’s entourage noticed anything untoward in their relationship; and that Derickson’s own 1888 account, which is charming, speaks of nothing but a close friendship with his boss who clearly liked and admired him.
		Lincoln and Speed did sleep in the same bed for three-and-a-half years, and I argue that it was the separation from Speed in late December 1840 that created a panic in Lincoln and precipitated his calling off his engagement to Mary Todd on what he later named the “fatal first” of January 1841.
		It was not remarkable, even though I do think Speed was a special case and his emotional importance for Lincoln was far greater than for that of the sweaty lawyers who piled into a common bed on the circuit to fight off the prairie cold.

		The cases of Joshua Speed and David Derickson, which Tripp dwells on at greatest length and that provide the strongest evidence for his thesis that Lincoln was "primarily homosexual," are far from conclusive.

		Lincoln's law partner William Herndon alleged that from 1837 to 1842, Lincoln and Joshua Speed, "a lady's man," were "quite familiar—to go no further[—]with the women." On at least one occasion Lincoln shared Speed's taste in fancy women—in fact, the very same woman.
