Mary's Move from the White House

[Laurie Verge]

Do you suppose that Mary was laid to rest in a shroud of white silk rather than a dress made out of the silk?

I know the story of her trying to sell her clothes to make money. Does anyone know how much she really sold? If it was a sizeable amount and she still had 68 trunks left, she must have continued to be an extravagant shopper. Of course, I have a very dear friend that would run stiff competition with Mary today!
