Lincoln endorsed legal brief

Handwritten endorsement, signed “Lincoln & Herndon,” at the bottom of an 8.5 x 12.5 lightly-lined one page manuscript document. Document concerns a plaintiff’s notice of application for dedimus (writ to commission individuals is written to act in place of a judge). At the conclusion Lincoln writes, “We acknowledge service of the above on this 26th day of Feb. 1858. Lincoln & Herndon for defts. who have answered.” In fine condition, with light toning along edges and horizontal folds, and slight show-through from text on reverse. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RRAuction COA.
