To Samuel D. Marshall1Jump to section

Dear Sam: Springfield, June 20. 1845-

I have wondered very much why you never wrote me, concerning the Dorman & Lane case, since I wrote you, as to the decision of it in the Supreme court. I learn this morning at the clerk's office, that Lane has not, as yet, taken out the order remanding it; and I think it possible, he may have abandoned it. You, perhaps, know his intention. The case of Gatewood vs. Wood & Wood---has that been settled? or how stands it?

At the request of Mr. Eddy,2Jump to section I attended a case in the Supreme court of Rawlings against Field,3Jump to section your father, Mr. Eddy & some others, and got the judgment reversed. This was no business of yours, and I now only ask, as a favor of you, that if Mr. Eddy is well you say to him I would like to have the little fee in the case, if convenient.

Please write me on the receipt of this. Yours forever

A. LINCOLN.
