In Coles Circuit Court, Lincoln gets judgment for about $200 for McKibben against Hart. He draws up order, which McKibben signs, assigning $35 of judgment to Lincoln. This order Lincoln leaves with circuit clerk so that Thomas Lincoln may collect money. He also writes court decree, and receipt for $50 Hart gives to McKibben.Photocopy; Herndon-Weik Collection, Library of Congress, Washington, DC.
