您的口袋中有帶錢或至親的相片嗎？有帶眼鏡嗎？別人可以透過一個人隨身攜帶的東西來猜測他是個怎麼樣的人及對這個人而言，什麼是最重要的。1865年4月14日，林肯在華盛頓的福特劇院遭到暗殺後，他口袋中的東西都在這張相片內。

當晚林肯身上帶了兩付眼鏡、一塊鏡片擦布、一把小刀、 一條亞麻布手帕、一條掛錶、一個內有南方邦聯的五元紙鈔的棕色皮夾及九份剪報。今天，您可能會隨身攜帶其中幾樣物品，如：相當平常的眼鏡及皮夾，但您的口袋內應該沒有南方邦聯的五元紙鈔。


Do you carry money or a favorite photo in your pocket? How about eyeglasses? The things we carry often hold clues to who we are and what's important to us. When Abraham Lincoln was assassinated on April 14, 1865, at Ford's Theatre in Washington, D.C., he had all the things you see in this picture in his pockets.

On that night, Lincoln was carrying two pairs of eyeglasses, a lens polisher, a pocketknife, a linen handkerchief, a watch fob, a brown leather wallet with a $5 Confederate note, and nine newspaper clippings. You might carry some of the same things today--eyeglasses and a wallet are pretty common--but you probably don't have a $5 Confederate note in your pocket.
