RE: Christmas with the Lincoln family in Springfield
As a young girl, one of Mary's chores was to knit 10 rounds of stocking every night before bed. Perhaps in Springfield she continued to knit and made socks for her family. Regarding whether or not Mary made her clothing, the answer is yes. In an interview, Mary's sister recalled how Mary made all of the clothing for the children and for herself and was one of the finest dressed ladies in Springfield.
