RE: The death of Tad Lincoln
Supposedly Mary Lincoln's closet confidant in the White House was Elizabeth Keckley, her modeste and ladies' maid - however after the "old clothes scandal" whereby some of Mary Lincoln's wardrobe was auctioned for charity, they grew apart after Mrs. Lincoln became very critical of Mrs. Keckley; particularly in lieu of Mrs. Keckley's publication of her memoirs - Behind the Scenes in 1868.
