Lincoln writes R. E. Williams, Bloomington lawyer, in regard to case
to be tried there in autumn. "I well remember the transaction; but as
Bakewell will need no lawyer but you, and as there is likely to be
some feeling, and both the parties are old friends of mine, I prefer,
if I can, to keep out of the case. Of course I will not engage
against Mr. Bakewell."
