Abraham Lincoln was photographed on this day.

The last beardless photograph of Lincoln.[62] John M. Read commissioned Philadelphia artist John Henry Brown to paint a good-looking miniature of Lincoln "whether or not the subject justified it". This ambrotype is one of six taken on Monday, August 13, 1860, in Butler's daguerreotype studio (of which only two survive), made for the portrait painter.

Horace Greeley to James S. Pike, August 13, 1860

NEW YORK, August 13, 1860.

FRIEND PIKE: I very cheerfully contribute this $20 toward the Maine election fund, providing that you will see it honestly expended. I don't trust the average run of Maine politicians, who are thievish (even the priests) and beggarly (even the leading editors). They are a poor lot, and will swallow all the funds they can get hold of.

I did not know nor suspect what Dana's opinion was on the point in dispute, but I consider him a better judge than Old Buck or Cushing.

I shall be greatly disappointed as well as grieved if you lose your district. Think of Frank Blair, and be ashamed of your doubts and quickened in your works.

Yours,

HORACE GREELEY.

JAMES S. PIKE, Esq., Calais, Maine.

That’s very interesting. “The more things change, the more they stay the same.”

I know my Greek, so I understand that George had a stomach ache and a headache ;-). He’s a real showoff sometimes. A lot of the time.
