The "Execution Docket" book contains approximately 260 unnumbered pages. Bound in original marbled boards, with leather spine and corners, the book's pages are lined wove paper, lightly ruled into sections in pencil, with entries in numerous hands, including Lincoln's. Most of these entries are in ink; but a few scattered ones are in pencil. As may be expected with a long and much-used book, the covers are well-worn, scuffed, and nearly detached, with portions of the top and bottom spine missing.]]></dcterms:description>

Viney makes the first payment for which Lincoln writes a receipt on November 5, 1856. However, a year later, Viney fails to pay the second note when it is due.  In 1857, according to Lincoln, Viney permits the lots to be sold for the 1856 taxes and allows the purchaser to pay the 1857 property tax. In order for Bullock to preserve her security, she must redeem the property from the tax sale, paying double the amount for which the land was originally sold, and the single amount for 1857 and pay the taxes for the year 1858.

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Abraham Lincoln to John Olney]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Lincoln's colleague John Olney asks him to evaluate the likelihood of a favorable result to a legal case Olney is considering.  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>
