In a letter written to her friend, Hannah Shearer, on October 2, 1859, Mary Lincoln wrote that "Mary, the same girl I had last winter, is still with me, a very faithful servant, has become as submissive as possible." I assume this is Mary Johnson, but I think that is the only mention of her in Mary Lincoln's letters.
