Return the desk Lincoln used for the Emancipation Proclamation from the White House to its home at DC's Lincoln Cottage.

The actual desk used by Abraham Lincoln to pen the Emancipation Proclamation was in the Lincoln Cottage (at the Soldiers Home in D.C.) throughout the Civil War including the summer of 1862 when Lincoln was working on the Emancipation Proclamation. The desk remained at the Soldiers’ Home until 1927, when the Home transferred the desk to the predecessor of the National Park Service, which was planning a Lincoln museum at that time. In 1930, Mrs. Hoover requested the desk for her husband’s office and it has been in the White House ever since. A replica now exists on public display in the Lincoln Cottage museum (run by the National Trust). The original does not belong in the Lincoln Bedroom at the White House, only seen by select visitors. Mr. President - return it to its rightful place!
