<B>Abraham Lincoln Autograph Signature</B></I> "<I>Lincoln p.d.</B></I>", at foot of an autograph document signed "<I>Logan p.q.</B></I>" by Stephen T. Logan (Lincoln's second law partner, 1841-44). Sangamon Co. (Ill.), no date (docketed July 1840), three-quarters page, folio. An affidavit signed by William Camp, concerning the suit of Henry Mock vs Thomas Lasswell. Camp swears that in the summer of 1839 he bought "<I>a sorrel claybank mule</B></I>" from Lasswell which he had previously seen "<I>at the stable kept by Mock…and Lasswell</B></I>", paying $65 for the animal; Mock was not then present "<I>but afterwards delivered the mule to him at the stable</B></I>" upon being told Lasswell had sold it, although he had previously "<I>claimed the mule as his property…</B></I>" Logan and Lincoln have signed beneath an endorsement at the foot of the document in which they agree that this affidavit "<I>is to be read as evidence on the trial of this cause as if Camp was sworn as witness, subject to exceptions as to relevancy only.</B></I>" Boldly written, with nice looking signatures. <I>From the Henry E. Luhrs Collection.</B></I>
