Lincoln's Way How Lincoln Receives a Congressional Visit
In a New York Tribune account George H. Yeaman recalls Lincoln during Civil War stress. The congressman visits. Lincoln sits at desk, asks to stay, then greets his son, barber arrives, and Lincoln asks what can be done. The mission is considered kindly and correct. Lincoln’s plain courtesy surpasses court etiquette.
