RE: Mary Lincoln's Fashions
I have read when Mary came to Washington in 1861, she wanted to promote American goods and suggested ladies of society support the American textile industry. However, she quickly learned from government officials that purchasing European goods brought more money into the U.S. Treasury. I cannot recall where I read this – Julia Taft Bayne’s book perhaps?
