Hello,
I am Eddie.  I am the second of the Lincoln boys.  Robert is the oldest.  Some say that I am a lot like Robert in size and personality.  I am old enough to remember when we moved to Washington D.C. when father was a U.S. Representative.  I really like living in Springfield.  All of boys, except Robert, who is in school a lot of the time, get to play along our street with the other children.  We often take Fido along to help us in our games.  Us boys especially like to shoot marbles.  I was too little to do much with the big boys, but they let me join in. 

One time, when we all went down to Lexington, Kentucky, to visit with our grandparents and Mother's brothers and sisters, Robert found a kitten and brought it home.  I loved that little kitten, and fed it till it came back to health.  We almost lost the kitten, when a servant threatened to throw it outside.  I screamed and protested about this, and the kitten stayed.

I loved my parents, and brothers.  Our house was a special one.  Mother was a good cook, and we all loved her plain white cake, just like Father.
