there were multiple pillows and linens. I believe Jim told us last week that they changed it each time Mrs. Lincoln came into the room. I think they were borrowing them from neighbors to make sure they had enough. Did I get that right Jim?

You are correct Josh. Glad to see you jumping into the symposium with both feet. Linens, towels, pillows came from the houses on either side. The pillow currently on display at Ford's came from a chaise lounge chair in the Sardo home, on the downhill side of the Petersen house.
