I have just come home and found your letter of May 30th. I have done nothing further with the Rugg case. How Dickey keeps that matter hanging along I do not comprehend. I do believe it would be better all round to let me surrender both your cases to some lawyer at Chicago. I really can not give them proper attention.
There is no such thing as the Rugg suit being dead. It lingers along because I never find Dickey at Chicago, and I hate to press the thing without him. As to my entering on a campaign of taking proof in the pending suit, I think I must say that is impossible.
I have received of Fox one hundred dollars---being fifty at each of two different times---and credited it on one of your notes. Yours truly A. LINCOLN.
