Unfortunately, Stuart’s main concern was politics and he provided Lincoln with little legal instruction, leaving Lincoln to begin learning by trying cases. The trial by fire came quickly when Stuart won election to the House of Representatives in 1838 and left Lincoln alone to handle the legal partnership business. After Stuart won re-election in 1841, Lincoln, realizing that he could no longer maintain the practice by himself, formally dissolved their legal partnership.

Exceptional provenance: This case is logged and recorded in the definitive “Abraham Lincoln Day-by-Day Chronology” book as having been argued by Lincoln on May 1st, 1855. One of the few documents on the market with provenance widely accepted by academia. Lincoln had appeared for the defendant William Glasgow in two cases heard before the Tazewell County, Illinois court in October 1854. In this second case, Hitchcock v. Glasgow (which this document relates to), Lincoln was more successful. The case was continued until spring 1855, when Lincoln filed this plea, arguing that the Hitchcocks could not recover the debt owed as there was no valid record, since Glasgow was an “Illinois” resident at the time the Ohio court awarded the Hitchcock estate its judgement. This plea handwritten by Lincoln caused the plaintiff to dismiss the action and secured Lincoln’s client his win in court. >>> UNCONDITIONALLY GUARANTEED AUTHENTIC!
