Summary
According to penciled note, Lincoln's handwriting on 2 pages near end.
Summary: Joseph Gundy and John Gundy entered into the business of selling hogs and cattle in the fall of 1847, and decided to dissolve the partnership in December 1848. Joseph Gundy sued John Gundy in a chancery action to settle the partnership. Joseph Gundy also sued John Gundy in a separate common law action (Gundy v. Gundy). In this case, Joseph Gundy claimed that John Gundy owed him $200 for 1,000 bushels of corn; $200 for 110 hogs sold; and an additional amount for twenty-four steers. John Gundy retained Lincoln and answered that Joseph Gundy owed him money from the partnership and filed a cross-bill to obtain the sum. The parties reached a settlement in which the court ruled for Joseph Gundy and awarded $415.
