Mary's Carriage Accident

[Mark MacKenzie]

Weren't they both greatly saddened by the death of Willie's pony in the fire? As if the pony was still a connection to the boy.

I think, Ashley, in the Elizabeth Keckly book, Lizzie hears Lincoln warn Mary that she would be put into an asylum if she didn't control herself. Lincoln supposedly points out the window to an asylum. Seems like a poor place to put the asylum, close to the White House. Kinda like asking for trouble. I wonder if its true.
