Sons and parents

[When Mary was "sprung" from the sanitarium she left eleven trunks full of personal belongings behind, along with all the furniture. His family acquired a lot of it, and he gifted me with Mary's rocking chair. Funny thing is, all the furniture had holes in the bottom legs, so they could be nailed to the floor. This was done because all day and all night she would anxiously move the furniture back and forth around the room. ]// quote

Oh Dr. Houmes... you have Mary Lincoln's rocking chair from the sanitarium?? That is AMAZING!

Eva...that's a great question regarding Mary's fate if she had been unable to finagle her way out of Bellevue. Would she have become violent and uncooperative, instead of turning on the charm as she did when she was confined?

Would she have attempted suicide? Or would it have broken her spirit and hastened her death?

Roger,

Thanks for the info on the existence of the building!
