Title
Mary Lincoln to H. Crosby
Description
In a letter written for Mary Lincoln in an unknown hand on War Department stationary, Mary Lincoln asks if Mr. H. Crosby has heard from Mr. Allen and notes that her rent would soon be due. Mary Lincoln asks Mr. Crosby to reply to her at 607 13th Street. In the years following Tad's death, Mrs. Lincoln all but disappeared from sight. Letters from the period 1871-76 are scarce. Some may have been lost; others were perhaps deliberately destroyed by Robert.

Dear Sir
Have you heard from Mr. Allen or learned of his whereabouts as the first draws near, and rent day approaching I am very anxious, if it is not asking too much of you please drop me a line at 607 13th St.
Most Respectfully
Yours
Mrs. A. Lincoln
