Unsigned handwritten legal brief, one lightly-lined page, 7.75 x 12.5, dated on the docket November 1844. A reply to a bill filed by William Dormady against Isaac S. Britton, and Robert and Catherine Latham (the administrators and widow, respectively). All three admit the truth of Dormady’s allegations “except as to…payments alleged to have been made” on a real estate transaction, claiming that he still owes $65.45 rather than “about fifty dollars…alleged,” and agree that upon payment of the correct sum to themselves, or to the court on their behalf “a decree may be rendered according to the payer of said bill.” Latham was a Civil War Colonel who co-founded Lincoln, Illinois. Accompanied by a vintage typescript from the Lincoln Library in Shippensburg, Pennsylvania, and originally a part of the Henry E. Luhrs collection. In fine condition. Auction LOA John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RRAuction COA.
