to, Governor Yates of Illinois

Sir, In June last was committed to the care of the Chairman of the delegates to the political convention from your state a volume entitled "Our Country" for your State Library. The same being sent to all the loyal States by this mode of transmission I am collecting the official acknowledgements from the same, with autographs of the Governors which usually accompany them.

I hope the copy for Illinois has been received.

I have the honour to be respectfully
