James W. Somers, Esq Springfield,
Dear Sir June 19. 1858.
Yours of the 10th. in relation to the suit of Thompson, White & Pryor vs Wilson & Park, was received some days ago. There was no ground upon which to stand the case off. Judgment is entered for $555.33, besides costs not yet made up. If you send me the $200 I will apply it on the judgment any day; but I think you need be in no great hurry about it.2Jump to section I charge no fee in the case.
Please tell your Uncle William3Jump to section that judgment also went against

Yours very truly A. LINCOLN---
