None of these books mention that she signed this pledge. At this point I am skeptical as it seems to be in opposition to her own spending habits/purchases. I also wonder how Abraham Lincoln's comment could be known.

Thanks, Roger. I, too, thought it contradicted Mary's desire for such things and purchases.
