short letter from a girl who lived in New York State.Her name was Grace Bedell.Grace wrote to Lincoln about his homely face,but in a polite way.It was a very interesting letter.Here are some parts of it:
I am a little girl only 11 years old,but I want you should be the President of the United States very much so I hope you won't think me very bold(鲁莽的)to write to such a great man as you are...
I have got four brothers and part of them will vote for you
anyway,and if you let your beard grow,I will try to get the rest of them to vote for you.You would look a great deal better for your face is so thin.All the ladies like
beard and they would ask their husbands to vote for you,and then you would be President...
Lincoln took Grace Bedell's advice,and over the next two weeks he did not shave.By election day on November 6th of 1860,he already
had enough beard.And he did get elected.Maybe his new beard had something to do with that.And he did wear the beard for the rest of his life.
