Title
Assignment of right to judgement in Joseph Anderson v. Joseph Miller
Description
Joseph Anderson received a judgement in his lawsuit against Joseph Miller and assigned his rights to that judgement to James Adams on May 10, 1827. On or about June 1, 1837, Abraham Lincoln makes a copy of the judgement with Anderson's assignment of the right to that judgement and submits it as exhibit K in the case of Wright et al. v. Adams. Red wax remains from the places this was sealed when folded. Text of this document is printed in its entirety in "To the Public" broadside (the Adams Handbill) which describes the background to this affair involving a dispute with the locally prominent James Adams.
