replies to letter from Gustave Koerner. Summarizing status of litigation
affecting Ohio and Mississippi Railroad Co., he adds: "Will you please remember
that our Sangamon Circuit Court commences Augt. 10—when I suppose our Quo
Warranto case will come up, and when I shall be glad to have the benefit of
your legal assistance." He writes to Lyman Porter & Co., Lafayette, Ind.,
merchants, that he can no longer regularly attend court in Tazewell County. He
tells William H. Young, lawyer, that he and Herndon can join in case, but
Lincoln will be in Chicago much of next term. Abraham
