Willie Lincoln plaque

[Donna McCreary]

I, too, love the Tabby story - I wish there were more thereof. I wonder however why (AFAIK) no other accounts exist - by Jula Taft e.g., or Elizabeth Keckley.

Did Julia Taft ever visit the White House after Willie's death? For some reason, I thought she did not. The Miners visited after his death, so Julia would not have been present. And, as it happened at the table during a meal, Keckly would not have been present either.

I do love the Tabby story and hope it is true.
