Were the employees, sworn to secracy

I'm not sure what your going after here John F. If Lincoln wanted more protection, all he had to do was ask for it, and he knew that. Ward Hill Lamon, Stanton, Seward or even Halleck would have easily and gladly have taken care of it.

The interesting question to me is, why didn't Mary ask for protection for Lincoln?
Would he have privately reprimanded her, and maybe he did?
