RE: Mary Todd Lincoln by Jean Baker
I'm not a medical expert but ... (warning ! cliche leading to an outrageous statement) ... I think that it is known that people suffering from clinical depression or bipolar can sometimes have the habit of irrational or compulsive spending.
We dont know if Mary suffered from these but if she did , then unusual spending might have resulted.
