    Mary Todd Lincoln letters

    Manuscripts

    Collection contains 56 letters from Mary Todd Lincoln to Alexander Williamson dated from 1865 to 1867; in addition, there are seven letters from Lincoln to Sally Orne, 1865 to 1870, and four letters to Noyes W. Miner, 1881 to 1882. Letters to Alexander Williamson concern Lincoln's financial situation and her enlistment of Williamson in her efforts to obtain appropriations from Congress. Letters from Lincoln to her friend Sally Orne also discuss her finances and the actions of Congress, and her illnesses. Her letters to Noyes W. Miner similarly discuss her Congressional pension and her health.Also present are two letters from Otto Wiecker to collector William K. Bixby, dated 1908 and 1910. Wiecker mentions letters in the possession of the widow of Alexander Williamson, presumably referring to letters from Mary Todd Lincoln to Alexander Williamson in this collection. He also discusses other Lincolniana items he hopes to procure and/or sell, including a shawl of Mary Todd Lincoln's and a signed presentation copy of the Gettysburg Address in the hand of Abraham Lincoln.
