"Interesting detail that Mrs. Lincoln would loan the coat to Vinnie Ream."

Mary Lincoln initially objected to having Ream borrow the clothing. In a letter to Alphonso Donn, to whom she gave the clothing," ML called Ream a "stranger, unladylike, and forward." Weeks later, she wrote to Donn again and wished the "stranger to me and mine" to "very sincerely succeed."
