From
“Lincoln 365,” by Arnold Kunst
May 1
Charles Dana, Assistant Secretary of War, once told the president that
his young daughter wanted to be introduced to the President. Lincoln walked
over, took up the girl, kissed her and talked to her. The scene seemed
remarkable to Dana because important men of high office usually lack natural
and easy grace in handling a child. With Lincoln Dana noticed the child felt
easy. Without knowing it Lincoln had passed an acid test!
