Am I right about this?

Hi Jerry. We had some discussion of this "coverlet issue" in another thread. Please go here.

Thanks Roger. Evidently it is indeed still missing.
There were also chairs by the death bed. I've never read what became if them. Are they still somewhere to be found?
Thanks again
Jerry

The Chicago Historical Society has the bed, bureau, two prints from the walls, a brass wall sconce and two chairs from Willie Clark's room.
