Boldly penned unsigned legal document in Lincoln’s hand, 8 x 12.75, one page, no date. Legal subpoena to enforce a merchant’s lien in the case of William Holmes vs. John Weaver and two other men. Brief reads, in part, “This day came Petitioner, and the defendants having been duly served with process, and being three times solemnly called, came not but made default—It is therefore ordered by the court that the Petition be taken for confessed as against them. And now after hearing proof, It is decreed by the court that the Petition recover of and from the defendants three hundred fifty seven dollars and eight cents, together with his costs herein expended.” Accompanied by a complete transcription from The Lincoln Library in Pennsylvania. In very good condition, with tape reinforcement on reverse of folds, several small chips to right edge slightly affecting a few words of text, and mild areas of light toning.
