I am sorry, gentlemen, but it was not T. Roosevelt or Wilson.

You nailed it, Steve. Although the bed was not actually used by President Lincoln, the late author Dr. Merrill D. Peterson wrote on p. 324 of Lincoln in American Memory: "When President Truman told his aged mother, an unreconstructed Confederate, that she would sleep in Lincoln’s bed when visiting him in the capital, she told him in no uncertain terms that she would sleep on the floor instead."

No googling please.
Which First Lady wrote this to her social secretary: I'm taking the veil. I've had it with being First Lady all the time, and now I'm going to give more attention to my children. I want you to cut off all outside activity - whether it's a glass of sherry with a poet or coffee with a king. No more art gallery dedications - no nothing - unless absolutely necessary. |

Right on, Steve. Indeed she wrote this to her social secretary on January 11, 1963.

I second Steve on that answer.

I'll guess FDR's wife (her first name escapes me), considering her dislike for money (unless I'm confusing myself and defaming her memory).
