Hi Kathy. In the biographical sketch he sent to Jesse Fell in 1859 Lincoln wrote:

"If any personal description of me is thought desirable, it may be said, I am, in height, six feet, four inches, nearly; lean in flesh, weighing on an average one hundred and eighty pounds; dark complexion, with coarse black hair, and grey eyes--no other marks or brands recollected."
