purse
notes: label: Description
content: After Edith Wilson’s death in 1961, the Washington, D.C. home she had shared with President Wilson was willed to the National Trust for Historic Preservation. The Trust donated some of the items that were left in the house to the Smithsonian, mainly personal effects of Edith Wilson’s, including a navy blue leather purse. When we opened the purse we found a pot of rouge inside, perhaps left there by the First Lady after a party.
