Mary was not nearly so scrupulously honest as Abe. She created by a scandal by sending the government bills for goods that were not ordered and work that was not done and other such schemes. Lincoln was able to get prosecution stopped.
She also accepted thousands of dollars in cash and gifts from people who wanted presidential favors.
She loved being flattered and collected a coterie of unsavory people who were charming enough company but were well-known as double-dealers and cheats .
She was short, fat and dumpy and liked to put on a show with her dress which must have been something of an embarrassment to Abe . She was not a gracious person and was not an asset to her husband.
