Household Helper's Room
The girl who provided household help to the Lincolns had a bedroom on the northeast corner of the second floor.In an 1848 letter to his wife, Abraham Lincoln urged her to hire a household worker to help with their sons. He said, "By the way, you do not intend to do without a girl, because the one you had has left you? Get another as soon as you can to take charge of the dear codgers."
