"On the evening of April 14, 1865, Abraham Lincoln enjoyed a cup of coffee, discarding the cup on a White House windowsill. He put on his signature top hat and departed for the theater, where he would be assassinated."

"After dressing for the evening, a White House servant observed the president leaving behind this cup on a windowsill just before departing. The servant preserved it as a relic of that tragic night. Years later Capt. D. W. Taylor presented this cup to Robert Todd Lincoln, Lincoln’s eldest son, who maintained it as a family heirloom. Gift of Lincoln Isham, great-grandson of Abraham Lincoln, 1958 "
