Lincoln's Letter to Siam.
Alexander, Mary; Childress, Marilyn
Social Education, v44 n7 p606-10 Nov-Dec 1980
Focuses on the problem of the U.S. president receiving gifts from foreign dignitaries. The reproducible letter from President Lincoln to King Rama IV of Siam in which he accepts two gifts and graciously declines proffered elephants serves as center for discussion of the problem. Suggestions for teaching and a crossword puzzle are included. (KC)
