Both Lincoln and Mary Todd belonged to a group known as the Coterie, dedicated to the cultivation of the arts, to political happenings in their fast-growing state, to the causes that excited the scholars of the day. Mary was living with her sister Elizabeth wife of Ninian Wirt Edwards, son of a former governor of Illinois. In the home of Mrs. Edwards, the social circle of the Coterie rounded for parties, dances, sleigh rides, political rallies, picnics and other excursions. It is at one of there gatherings, likely a dance, where Lincoln met Mary Todd in 1839.
