Lincoln apoligizes for his failure to make his reply earlier due to illness in the family. Lincoln agrees that the suggestions Giddings made in his letter are important and he appreciates them. He writes that "If I fail, it will be for lack of ability, and not of purpose." Mr. Tuck sent Lincoln a note written by Giddings which Lincoln answered; but since Giddings did not mention the reply, Lincoln is afraid that he did not receive it. According to Basler 4:80-81: Giddings' letter of June 19 suggested that Lincoln follow the example set by John Quincy Adams in not answering any questions upon which he was expected to act as president until he was elected, and further that he should say to applicants for office that at the proper time he would select his cabinet and leave each secretary responsible for appointments in his department.  The letter is marked private in the top left corner.]]></dcterms:description>

Olney, a partner in the law firm of Olney &amp; McAtee in Shawneetown, Gallatin County, Illinois, is active in Republican Party politics, serving as a delegate to the state party convention in 1858. It is possible that the case under consideration is Daniel Doup vs. Ninian Primm and Samuel C. Gibson.  Lincoln and Herndon previously served as Doup's attorneys regarding some Illinois real estate transactions.  Doup died in the middle of the business in June 1857, leaving a wife and other heirs. At that time, Olney was drawn into some aspect of Doup's affairs.  Lincoln declines to predict the final solution of the enterprise and indicates an appropriate fee for his opinion. Although Lincoln tells Olney that there is no fee for his advice, Lincoln ended up being paid partly in land in Gallatin County. Two years later, Olney runs as a Republican presidential elector, and on June 27, 1867, is selected to the bench of Illinois's 19th circuit court.]]></dcterms:description>
