Springfield, Feb 8. 1850

Hon T. J. Turner Dear Sir:

I have been examining your Bill, and studying the case some today— There is some confusion in the description of the land, as given in the ll, which I suppose comes by mistake— To enable me to conect [sic] this, before filing the Bill, send me an exactly accurate description of all the tracts-I do not think any action will be necessary pending the suit; and consequently no bond is necessary except the ordinary bond for cost, a blank? for which I herewith send you— Have the bond filled, and executed by some one for whose responsibility you can vouch, and send it back to me — Were our men actually in possession of the land at the time it was conveyed by Denny to Bradshaw Are we [underline]obligated[end underline] to put Bradshaw on his oath? Can we not [underline]prove[end underline] our case without? Please answer these questions when you write me — Yours as ever A. Lincoln
