DS, signed “A. Lincoln,” one page, 7.5 x 5, September 17, 1838. Legal document for the Sangamon Circuit Court of Springfield, Missouri. Lincoln writes: “I do hereby enter myself security for costs in this case, and acknowledge myself bound to pay or cause to be paid all costs which may occur in this action, either to the opposite party or to any of the officers of this court in pursuance of the laws of this state. Dated this 19th day of September A.D. 1838.” At the top left, in a clerical hand, is written: “Jacob Baum & John G. Shelton trading and doing business under the name style and firm of Baum & Shelton vs Peter Van Bergen, Sangamon Circuit court.” Professional repair to separated central horizontal fold on reverse, slightly affecting first line of text, but not affecting legibility, an old tape repair to reverse of top right corner, some scattered light soiling, and a few stray ink marks to text, otherwise fine condition. Legal documents in the hand of Lincoln as a partner in a law firm were usually signed with the firm’s name; this example, entering himself as “security for costs” and signed as “A. Lincoln,” is extremely unusual.
