To William Brown1Jump to section

Dear Judge Springfield, Octr. 22. 1846

I have just returned from Coles, where I saw Ficklin,2Jump to section who handed me a note on Anthony Thornton3Jump to section and somebody else, with $25--- in money, which he directed me to pass over to you upon presentation of his receipt (for the note I suppose).

I want to get the matter off of my hands. What shall be done about it? Yours truly A. LINCOLN
