In the book America's First Families: An Inside View of 200 Years of Private Life in the White House author Carl Sferrazza Anthony writes, "Willie and Tad Lincoln took piano lessons in the Red Room with a professor Alexander Wolowski."

Eva, I do not know the source for Mr. Anthony's statement, and offhand I do not believe I have ever seen the name Alexander Wolowski before in Lincoln books.
