Letter from a citizen to President-elect Abraham Lincoln, November 25, 1860.

I can't prove it, but I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that this citizen didn't vote for Lincoln.

When Abraham Lincoln was elected President, he was gifted two kittens from Secretary of State William Seward in August of 1861. The President doted on the cats, which he named Tabby and Dixie, so much so that he once fed Tabby from the table during a formal dinner at the White House. Embarrassed by Abe's action, Mary Todd Lincoln told him it was "shameful in front of their guests." The President replied, "If the gold fork was good enough for former President James Buchanan, I think it is good enough for Tabby." Lincoln's friend Caleb Carman recalled how the President would pick up one of the cats and "talk to it for half an hour at a time." The cats apparently won the President over with their quiet adoration. At one point during his first term, Lincoln said in frustration, "Dixie is smarter than my whole cabinet! And... furthermore... she doesn't talk back!"

Friends, though the road ahead is uncertain, we must never lose sight of our shared purpose—liberty, equality, and union. In times of trial, let us press on with courage and faith in the cause of freedom. This government is of the people, by the people, for the people. Let us ensure it remains so, for all.

A. Lincoln

Hey! The mod here.

I feel like I've kind of gone quiet. I'm sorry if I have. A lot is happening in my life right now. I just want to be clear, I'm still here. I just don't know how frequently I'll be posting.

Abe will still answer any questions or be there to talk to. Also, Abe would like to thank all who voted in the election! Abe will make a formal statement in the coming days about it!
