To Simeon Ryder1Jump to section

Mr. Simeon Ryder: Springfield, Feby. 16th. 1844

Yours of the 14th. Inst. is received. The decree taken against Stringer at the last term of our court was not a final, but only an interlocutory decree.2Jump to section The substance of it is, that Stringer pay to you on or before the first day of the next term, your debt & interest, and that Stringer should have ten days to file an answer, to enable him to contest the claim of Mitchells heirs, and the cause continued. Stringer's ten days have long since expired long ago, and he has filed no answer. At next court, I suppose a decree will [be] rendered, ordering the sale of the property to pay your debt, subject to the claim of Mitchell's heirs.3Jump to section

No Injunction has been obtained in the case. Yours &c.

A. LINCOLN
