Abraham "Jack" Lincoln II (August 14, 1873 – March 5, 1890), was the middle of three children of Robert Todd Lincoln and Mary Eunice Harlan, and the only grandson of Abraham Lincoln. Jack and his sisters were described as "bright, natural, unpretentious children, well liked by the people of the town". It was claimed that Jack was much like President Lincoln. ==Illness and death== At the age of 16, Jack was in Versailles to study French in preparation for an entrance examination for Harvard University.〔 His family was in England while his father served as the last U.S. Minister to Great Britain, before the position was retitled "Ambassador".〔"(Robert Lincoln )". part of an Abraham Lincoln Research Site. ''Retrieved April 5, 2007''.〕 Jack fell ill with blood poisoning after infection set in following surgery in Paris to lance a carbuncle that had formed under his arm.〔 He was moved from France to England on January 16, 1890, where he was to have been seen by the noted physician Thomas John MacLagan.〔 A second surgery was performed on February 27, 1890, though it gave no relief and Jack died six days later at the family residence.〔 A 20th-century biographer wrote that while Jack was weak, he had been recovering. Jack's father, Robert, was said to be in their sitting room with Henry White when daughter Mary rushed in with the words, "Go upstairs quickly." Robert returned ten minutes later with the news of Jack's death. He later wrote, "We had a long & most anxious struggle and at times had hopes of saving our boy. It would have been done if it had depended only on his own marvelous pluck & patience now that the end has come, there is a great blank in our future lives & an affliction not to be measured."〔Patterson, Michael Robert. "(Abraham Lincoln II, Military Son )". Arlington National Cemetery website. ''Retrieved April 5, 2007''.〕
