the bow tie and ,of course, the beard.You might be surprised to find out that it was an elevenyearold girl
who urged Lincoln to grow his famous whiskers.
In the fall of 1860,a beardless Abraham Lincoln was running for President of the United States when he
received a letter from elevenyearold Grace Bedell of Westfield,New York.In her letter,Grace told him that
he should let his whiskers grow because his face was "so thin".She explained that "ladies like whiskers"
and that if he grew a beard,"they would ask their husbands to vote" for him.
Lincoln responded with the following letter:
My dear little Miss,
Your very agreeable letter of the 15th is received.
I regret the necessity of saying I have no daughters...
As to the whiskers,having never worn any,do you not think people would call it a piece of silly affection
(感情) if I were to begin it now?
Your sincere wellwisher,
A.Lincoln
