Tad Lincoln's Father (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Excerpt from Tad Lincoln's Father

But with all this satisfaction went one sor row. They had no daughter. We are not left in any doubt concerning their disappoint ment, for neither of them made any secret of the fact. Four noisy boys needed a sister, and both Mr. And Mrs. Lincoln were ready to pet and love a little girl.

The shyness which Lincoln felt in the pres ence of women left him when he met little girls. He admired them and liked them, and wished to have them about him. They were to him a happy reminder of what he had always wanted but never had possessed. And Mrs. Lincoln liked to have young girls about her. She was a bit conservative with regard to other women, but young girls were very dear to her.
