Two ALSs, each signed on an identical 7.75 x 9.75 lightly-lined page, dated January 12, 1860, and October 15, 1860, and both sent to John C. Knox. The second letter reads in part: “While examining the cost dockets of the Supreme Court last week I noticed the case of Erie & UCR Road v Casey in which the costs do not appear to have been paid here by the Company. You are entitled to a docket fee of $20…As soon as the Clerk furnishes me the papers & accounts I have ordered the statement in respect to the Wheeling Bridge case will be ready & furnished you…Your election turned out as I anticipated from your letter of Monday would be the result. It seems conceded that Lincoln’s election is inevitable. What then?” Each with scattered creasing and edge toning, otherwise fine condition. In December 1860, Stanton would be appointed Attorney General by President James Buchanan. He strongly opposed secession, hence his obvious concern over Lincoln’s unstoppable victory.
