During the first part of the inaugural train trip, Abraham Lincoln had worn what was described as a shocking bad hat and a very thin, old overcoat. By the time the train reached Utica, NY, Mary Lincoln had seen enough. She had observed the shabbiness of her husband compared to the well-groomed politicians they had met along the way. Something must be done before the train reached New York City. Mary asked someone to get her husband a better looking overcoat and new hat. This was accomplished, and Lincoln looked much better. Whom did Mary ask to get these upgraded clothes for Abraham?
