O. L. Davis, Esq. Springfield, June 22- 1854.

Dear Sir: You, no doubt, remember the enclosed memorandum being handed me in your office. I have just made the desired search, and find that no such deed has ever been here. Campbell,2Open page the Auditor, says that if it were here, it would be in his office, and that he has hunted for it a dozen times, & could never find it. He says that one time and another, he has heard much about the matter---that it was not a deed for Right o Way, but a deed, outright, for Depot-ground---at least, a sale for Depot-ground, and there may never have been a deed. He says, if there is a deed, it is most probable Genl. Alexander,3Open page of Paris, has it. Yours truly.

A. LINCOLN
