Did Vinnie Ream visit the White House daily for 5 months?

Here's an article posted by the U.S. Capitol Historical Society in Capital Art, Women's History.

"In 1866 Congress authorized a $10,000 commission for a statue of Abraham Lincoln to be placed in the Capitol. Ream had completed a bust of Lincoln the year before which received much acclaim. (She claimed throughout her life that Lincoln had sat for the sculpting in person in the White House over a five-month period. However, there is no evidence other than her word that suggests Lincoln and Ream ever met.)"
