This signature was part of a larger autograph collection put together by the family of Mary Todd Lincoln. Abraham Lincoln had no personal connections when he came to Springfield, and because of his association with John Todd Stuart he met influential people and was invited to glittering social events. Mary Todd was Stuart’s cousin – in fact her first cousin – and thus through Stuart, Lincoln met his wife. The owners of this signature were direct descendants of Stuart, Lincoln’s great benefactor.
