Yesterday’s
answer:
B Joke
From the life of George Q. Cannon: On Friday, [June] 13th went in
company with Hon. John M. Bernhisel and Senator Hooper and Elders C. W. West
and Brigham Young Jun, to pay our respects to President Lincoln. The President
has a plain, but shrewd and rather pleasant face. He is very tall, probably 6
feet 4 inches high, and is rather awkwardly built, heightened by his want of
flesh. He looks much better than I expected he would do from my knowledge of
the cares and labors of his position, and is quite humorous, scarcely
permitting a visit to pass without uttering some joke. He received us very
kindly and without formality. (June 13, 1862)
