To Samuel Galloway, Republican lawyer of Columbus, Ohio, Lincoln writes about Ambos et al. v. Barrett which he is handling in U.S. Circuit Court. "My chief annoyance with the case now is that the parties at Columbus [plaintiffs] seem to think it is by my neglect that they do not get their money." Abraham Lincoln to Samuel Galloway, 27 July 1859, CW, 3:393-94.
