“And The Defendant Doth The Like, Fenn & Lincoln” ABRAHAM LINCOLN (1809-1865). Sixteenth President. 8” x 4”. A fragment of a manuscript legal brief signed at the lower left margin; “And the defendant doth the like Fenn & Lincoln p.d.” “And for replication to the twelfth plea by the defendant & above pleaded plaintiff says precludia now because he says that the said plaintiff was & is not indebted to the said defendant & in the several sums of money in said twentieth plea mentioned nor with of them nor any part thereof in manner & force as the said defendant hath in his said twentieth plea alleged, & of this he puts himself on the country. Peters & Ramsey for pltf. “And the defendant doth the like, Fenn & Lincoln p. d.”Ira Fenn was a local attorney with whom Lincoln worked with during the early part of his career. Fenn’s nephew, Dr. Charles Fenn was one of the seven founding members of the San Diego Medical Society and began his long career of medical practice and public service in San Diego. He went to serve the public welfare for many years throughout Southern California. A seldom seen legal association accomplished early during Lincoln’s legal career. Fine.
