While I was in Robert's home, Lee immediately was out job-hunting. And I felt very bad about that, because they had come 10,000 miles by ship, by plane, and by train, which was an awfully hard trip with a young baby, and I thought he should at least have a week or two before he would look for work.

You probably have that information. It was highly publicized.
I, myself, gave him the $10 that he gave the public stenographer.
