<B>Abraham Lincoln Unsigned Autograph Document.</B></I> Sangamon Co. (Ill.), 16 March 1846, three pages, folio. In Mathew P. Crowder vs Lewis A. Collier, a lawsuit over a 20-acre tract of land, Collier denies that the plaintiff had or could convey full and proper title because an earlier conveyance by Betsy Nelson was "<I>insufficient, in not describing particularly the land to be conveyed, but only describing it as a certain tract…on Horse Creek…</B></I>" Collier further alleges that Betsy was not then "<I>sole</B></I>" (unmarried) but was "<I>the lawful wife of…John Taylor, and so was without capacity to convey…without the joining therein of her said husband…</B></I>" <I>From the Henry E. Luhrs Collection.</B></I>
