Joe and Gene are correct, and while Abraham Lincoln allegedly desired to see the place (the Fehrenbachers from what I could find online rate this "D" thought):

...Mary actually did in 1869.

Current score:
Laurie 7
Joe 6
Gene 6
Roger 4
Rogerm 2
Thomas 1

Today is Edith Piaf's 100th birthday!

Happy birthday, Edith Piaf. What a wonderful talent, but what a sad life.

Advent season is reaching the home stretch - and still (almost) everything is possible.

What do you think is #20?

A dress of Mary Lincoln's?

This one.

Confederate officers uniform?

Eva Elisabeth · 12-19-2015, 06:20 PM

Two excellent guesses, Joe and Gene - sorry, it's neither of these.

J. Beckert · 12-19-2015, 06:25 PM

Lincoln's office coat.

Eva Elisabeth · 12-19-2015, 06:27 PM

Another brilliant idea, Joe, but not correct either.

RJNorton · 12-19-2015, 06:29 PM

It looks like fabric, though. It that correct?

Eva Elisabeth · (This post was last modified: 12-19-2015 06:34 PM by Eva Elisabeth.)

Yes, Roger, that is correct. (Can you determine what kind of?)

Hint #1: As you could see, I will answer yes/no questions.

RJNorton · 12-19-2015, 06:35 PM

Curtains from the State Box at Ford's Theatre?

Eva Elisabeth · (This post was last modified: 12-19-2015 06:55 PM by Eva Elisabeth.)

Another one outstanding guess, Roger, but not correct either.
(Please consider "approaching" questions...)

Hint #2: It's not such a large item.

Hint #3: The item indeed "witnessed" the assassination.

RJNorton · 12-19-2015, 07:06 PM

Can you say if it some kind of fabric worn by a person at Ford's Theatre?

J. Beckert · 12-19-2015, 07:06 PM

A Jeannie Gourlay dress?

Basically you can say so - what kind of wearing are you thinking of?

Another good idea, Joe, but, sorry, not correct either.

Hint #4: The item was not entirely made of this fabric.
