Dear Sir.

Please accept a copy of the 1st Vol. of "Patriotism of Illinois." We have the work in three styles of binding and intend soon to add a half Calf for libraries

We are very greatful for your kindness and aid in furnishing noteable material and important advise. And any suggestion you may have on examing the book we shall always be pleased to receive them. We think it no less, a valuable record of your own services, than of the civic duty of our noble state. We mean the work shall be every way worthy of the subject.

With kind regards

we remain Yours
