Isaac G. Wilson to Richard Yates

Geneva Ill Nov 27, 1864

My Dear Governor

Your favors I found last evening on my return from my Naperville Court. Will see that the speeches are duly distributed. I am happy to say that so far as I am advised there is but one voice in this part of the state in relation to the Senatorship. Our member, Mr. Mann, is my warm personal friend and is all right. I have not yet met with Sedgewick the member from Dupage but expect to see him on my return to Naperville tomorrow. Among the people who were at court there the past week I found the sentiment universal in your favor and I have no doubt he is for you. I held court in McHenry County a few weeks ago, and was glad to find that Joslyn was right. I had feared that the failure of this brother to obtain the colonelcy of the 141st might have made him hostile. I had a full conversation with him and he assured me he should support you heartily.

I have not seen Gen Fuller, but take it for

granted he is for you.

With congratulations on your flattering prospects, and asking you to advise me if any contingency should arise in which I can be of service, I remain

Very truly Your Friend Isaac G. Wilson

Wilson Hon J.G. Geneva Ills Nov 27th 64

Received speeches &c & will distribute. He thinks the people there are for you for Senate. Mr. Mann is all right and he thinks Mr Sedgwick of DuPage is also. He will see him--

Has not seen Gen'l Fuller but take it for granted he is for you.

Judge J.G. Wilson
