Hint#1: She didn't have to do with the EP directly, but with something that has to do with the EP.

I know Lincoln worked on the document at the Soldiers’ Home. Was she employed there?

She bought the pen it was written with?

RE: Extra Credit Questions
Good guess, Joe, but the item is MUCH bigger. Ok, I'Lo try one more hint:
Hint#5: A. Lincoln had it in the East Room, later (before 1877) it toured the country. So, what was it and what did Elizabeth Thompson do with it? |

RE: Extra Credit Questions
How about the desk it was written on?
So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in? |

RE: Extra Credit Questions
I cheated. It was Francis Carpenter's painting of Lincoln and his cabinet with the EP. I'm German, so we'll take the point, Eva. (Trans Atlantic high five!)

RE: Extra Credit Questions
When did we get the scores lowered to 1 & 1? I thought we previously had run up something like Rebels 13 - Beckert 8 or 9!

RE: Extra Credit Questions
Joe, kudos, you are right! The item is Carpenter's "First Reading of the Emancipation Proclamation of President Lincoln". As for what she did with it - she donated it to Congress.
Carpenter, with the help of William O. Stoddard, campaigned for Congress to purchase the painting, but Congress did not appropriate the money. So it remained in Carpenter’s possession until 1877, when Elizabeth Thompson purchased it. |

Folks don't seem so eager to beat the stuffing out of Eva like they do me, so I'm gonna hang with her awhile.

RE: Extra Credit Questions
Something of note happened in this building. Where was it located, and what was the event?

RE: Extra Credit Questions
Did it house Parr's China Shop? I believe Surratt met Powell there. It was located in Baltimore.
