The "Friend Dummer" that Lincoln addresses is attorney Henry E. Dummer who was a partner with John T. Stuart beginning in 1832. Stuart brought fledgling attorney Lincoln in his law office after Dummer moved to Beardstown in 1837. Judge Lockwood was Samuel D. Lockwood who served on the Illinois Supreme Court from 1825-1848.
