In the very last paragraph of the article that Gene linked to in post #1 it states:

“Stories were told about his charity – especially how he took off his shoes and stockings for the barefoot boys he met, till his mother in despair absolutely forbade it. He argued: ‘They can’t get any shoes. I guess you can buy me some more, and I’m so sorry for them.’ “

Thanks.
In "Lincoln's White House" there are stories alike that. Tad also brought street boys inside the White House to play with him, and even for some food. He was a sweetheart and also a class barrier breaker.

I downloaded the article, but couldn't read it... Thanks.
