Did Mary Lincoln need committal?

[L Verge]

MARY LINCOLN BOOKS AVAILABLE AT SURRATT HOUSE: As mentioned above, a collector just donated a number of used books (all in near pristine condition) to the museum with the understanding that we could use them to raise funds. I am pulling rank and will hold these books off display until Friday morning in order to give my friends here first crack. You may call 301-868-1121 with Visa or MasterCard to order, or you may email me at laurie.verge@pgparks.com and ask me to hold your order until check or money order can arrive (up to ten days). There will be an additional $3 postage for the first book and $1 for each additional book in the same order. Checks or money orders made payable to Surratt House Museum and sent to 9118 Brandywine Road, Clinton, MD 20735. ALL BOOKS ARE HARD COVER UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED.
