This paper is about Mary Todd Lincoln's life. Mary was closely attached to her husband. They both loved each other. Even after the mistakes done by Mary in the white house, Abraham never stopped loving her. After Abraham's death, Mary found herself trapped in the feelings of guilt and grief. The shock however did not keep her from supporting her husband. She continued writing letters to different influential people but she never went public. She strived hard to improve her husband's image but she was not very successful in this regard as her own image was not quite as charming. However, she did manage to achieve some of her goals. (L. Bach 2004)
