Summary edit

Description "Mary Lincoln’s family was divided by war. Her sister, Emily Helm, was invited to the White House following the battlefield death of Emily’s Confederate husband. Prior to her return to Kentucky, Lincoln issued Emily a pass which ordered that she 'may have protection of person and property, except as to slaves, of which I say nothing.'" (Trading card from Lincoln Home National Historic Site, Illinois, United States. Photo of December 1863 letter by Abraham Lincoln from the Library of Congress.)
