This is a rare copy of “The Ladies of the White House” by Laura Holloway, a President's wife point of view, written in 1882.  As the pics show the cover is missing and a page disconnected from the book with someone's signature on it (not sure who it is).  The rest of the book is very readable with the pics in very good view. Great book for a filler and good to read (if it does not fall apart).
