[Lincoln Wonk]

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."

Wow. Roger, That's what I was looking for back then,, and now too. Just found it online at http://housedivided.dickinson.edu/sites/...r-20-1859/ Thanks so much.

I have to get the site down. I keep answering emails weeks late or answering the same ones twice months apart. But, in this case, it worked out.
Thanks, Roger.
