LINCOLN, Mary (1818-1882). Autograph letter signed ("Mary Lincoln") to Rhoda White, St. Charles, Illinois, 6 December 1871.

Four pages, 180 x 114mm, bifolium, on her personal mourning stationery. Housed in a custom clamshell case.

"I am sick at heart." A touching letter written in the months following the death of her son Tad: "I am always troubling you, my dear friend, but may I take the liberty of requesting you, if it possible to gain some information, regarding the steamers, that ply between New York and Charleston. It may come into the way of your son, to ascertain something about it. I am sure my name, will not be mentioned. I would write you more lengthily to day, but I am suffering with a severe headache. The weather is intensely cold, & you, may well believe, that I am sick at heart."
