Abraham Lincoln Autograph Endorsement Signed
<B>Abraham Lincoln Autograph Endorsement Signed</B></I> "<I>And the defendant doth the like. Murphy & Lincoln p.d.</B></I>", with an unsigned autograph endorsement at foot. No place or date (Champaign Co., Ill.; docketed July 1852), about one page, folio. In Nelson Ligget vs Samuel Frazier, the plaintiff claims that when Frazier "<I>arrested and confined</B></I>" him by virtue of a "<I>supposed writ</B></I>" he "<I>did not show or read the said supposed writ to said plaintiff…</B></I>" Beneath this Lincoln has written "<I>the defendant's demurrer to the replication last above, is sustained; and the plaintiff stands by said replication.</B></I>" The venue for this suit, which involved acting sheriff Sam Frazier Jr. of Vermilion County, was changed to Champaign County on motion of the plaintiff's attorney. Light fold toning; Lincoln's writing is unusually small, but dark and plain. <I>From the Henry E. Luhrs Collection.</B></I>
