I don't think there is enough in this article about the relationship of John Hay with President Lincoln, and I have tried to add some.

--Editorial Content--
This line is completely inappropriate, and I'm removing it:
-
- This is unlikely to be the case, but it does honor Hay for the quality of his writing; no one else around President Lincoln but the President himself could have written this letter with such grace.
This is not cited. It's the opinion of this author who has no intimate knowledge of the subject.
[edit] Diplomat, not politician
I removed "politician" from the article, seeing little basis for that term, and added "diplomat," seeing considerable basis for that one. Objections? AllanJ 17:55, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
Why is this merely a political biography? The man had a wife and children, too. NickJones 05:36 September 28 2006
I have edited incorrect information about the Hay/Adams house in Washington, D.C. The original houses designed by H.H. Richardson are no longer standing. The building that occupies the site is named the Hay Adams hotel in their honor, but was built after both John Hay and Henry Adams were dead.
