In 1860, 11-year-old Grace Bedell wrote to Abraham Lincoln with an unusual suggestion: grow a beard. She believed women would find him more appealing and encourage their husbands to vote for him. Lincoln took her advice, and the rest is history.

This is her letter:

“NY
Westfield Chatauque Co
Oct 15. 1860

Hon A B Lincoln
Dear Sir

My father has just home from the fair and brought home your picture and Mr. Hamlin's. I am a little girl only eleven years old, but want you should be President of the United States very much so I hope you wont think me very bold to write to such a great man as you are. Have you any little girls about as large as I am if so give them my love and tell her to write to me if you cannot answer this letter. I have got 4 brother's and part of them will vote for you any way and if you will let your whiskers grow I will try and 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 whiskers and they would tease their husband's to vote for you and then you would be President. My father is a going to vote for you and if I was a man I would vote for you to but I will try and get every one to vote for you that I can I think that rail fence around your picture makes it look very pretty I have got a little baby sister she is nine weeks old and is just as cunning as can be.
When you direct your letter direct to Grace Bedell Westfield Chatauque County New York.

I must not write any more answer this letter right off
Good bye
Grace Bedell”

This was Lincoln's reply:

“October 19, 1860
Springfield, Illinois

Miss. Grace Bedell
My dear little Miss.

Your very agreeable letter of the 15th. is received.

I regret the necessity of saying I have no daughters. I have three sons -- one seventeen, one nine, and one seven, years of age. They, with their mother, constitute my whole family.

As to the whiskers, having never worn any, do you not think people would call it a piece of silly affection if I were to begin it now? Your very sincere well-wisher

A. Lincoln”

@TicTocTick All the comments from these boomers are hilarious. Of course you were able to afford 10%+ mortgages when the cost of living was peanuts.

@JoshEakle If they cannot survive with that salary, that means they are very stupid with money and should not be serving the public in the first place.
