Lincoln NOTE: I am really curious about the signature. It looks more like someone trying to fake her husband's signature. Any sample of her handwriting or indication that she didn't use Mary T. Lincoln? I am really taking a stab at the word "blinds." My logic is telling me that the word should be "chairs" because a proper parlor suite would have an armchair or two and 3-4 side chairs. I can't see the word "chairs" in that listing, however. |
