Regarding Lincoln's check the article says, "The check, for $800, was written to "self" and drawn on the First National Bank of Washington, D.C. According to Eiler, the check was reportedly used to get cash to pay debts ran up by his wife, who was known to be a big spender."

Is that true? Did Abraham know before he was assassinated? I thought I had once read that Abraham died not knowing of the debts run up by Mary. Maybe I missed something?
