Question

The Lincoln Bedroom
(by Millie Bush)
There are some wonderful beds in the White House on the second floor. I have tried them all. The Lincoln Bedroom has a large carved rosewood bed. All the guests ask for that room, of course. All guests but the President's brother and sister. Finally, after we had lived in the house for six months, they came to us and asked if they'd be permitted to buy a new mattress for the bed. They said it sagged in the middle, and did we know it was made of horsehair? I thought it was very comfortable and couldn't understand their attitude. However, since Lincoln never slept in either the bed or the bedroom, the mattress had no historic importance, so the Bushes gladly said yes. Until 1902 the room was an office. As for the bed, it was bought from a Philadelphia retailer in 1861 to be used in the principal guest room in the Lincoln White House. History tells us that President and Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt and President Woodrow Wilson did sleep in this beautiful bed. There is a handwritten copy of Lincoln's Gettysburg Address on a desk in the Lincoln Bedroom. President Lincoln copied the speech five times to benefit a charity for Civil War soldiers. He signed the fifth and final copy. It is this copy that is in the White House. Although this is the room where the White House ghost is supposed to appear, the Bushes have not seen it, nor do they believe in ghosts. I must confess that I have not seen one either. I liked hiding my rawhide bones in this room, but George followed me down the hall one night and caught me. He said he got tired of buying me new bones and he wanted to know just what I was doing with them. There behind the green curtains he found my hiding place. So, of course, I have now taken to hiding them in couches and chairs all over the second floor.
