James M. Loughborough, Esq. Springfield,
Dear Sir Dec: 12. 1855

To-day I received from Louisville, an unrecorded deed from your uncle P. S. L. to Lawrence Young, of date March 10---1845, for

S. E. 27--- T 21. N. R. 7 E. 160 acres

E frac12; S W 27 `` `` 80 ``

S frac12; N. E. 27 `` `` 80 ``

W frac12; S. W. 26 `` `` 80 ``

W frac12; N E. 15 `` `` 80 ``

480 ``

It was sent me with the request that I should have it recorded, and make some search for tax-titles. I have written back declining to do either; & saying I hold the deed subject to order.

I have thought proper to notify you of this at once. Yours truly

A. LINCOLN---
