The 1998 Spittoon Debate in the Lincoln home.

[STS Lincolnite]

I was thinking about Mrs. Lincoln owning forty footstools. At first that number sounds excessive; but was it then? You all tell me. If you placed a couple of them in the various rooms of a house the numbers would add up. Or am I off my rocker? Lol.

I would guess that from room to room the Lincoln footstools could add up pretty quickly especially considering Mary's ever changing tastes and tendency to buy, buy, buy. I don't know if your number is accurate, but having read through the rest of this thread, I'm sure it's within spitting distance.
