This was originally a letter to the editor of the Cincinnati "Commercial" that was reprinted in other newspapers, "gossiping" about Mary's life at the Edwardses' in 1882 - and only sixty trunks made it into the papers:

Modern day options would definitely have been way over her head - Amazon comes up with 48,989 results for "footstool".
