Mary Todd got a bad rap. She had some fancy dresses, not a Boeing.

Mary Todd was a spendthrift. Big time. The level of her out of control spending shocked and worried Lincoln, and it was openly mocked.
Then again, she lost a young son in 1863, and her oldest child was off to war. Her husband was reviled and she was shunned by DC society. Not a happy existence.

Mary Todd got a bad rap. She had some fancy dresses, not a Boeing. And most, if not all were paid for out of Abe's wallet.
