COMMITTEE ROOMS,

151 Randolph St., Chicago, Aug 17 1860

Dear Yates

         I arrived here this morning feeling pretty well used up but I almost feel guilty at leaving you.  After I left you I vomited dreadfully & it done me good.  I hope you will have a good meeting to day & arrive home to morrow safely & find your dear ones all well.  I am glad I went to Egypt and only regret I could not have been of more service.  Depend upon it I shall remember our short trip & especially our delightful night ride for a long time.  I thank you sincerely for the uniform politeness and consideration you have shown me and hope to be able to do you some service before the camp closes.  I have informed the Committee here of the glorious work you are performing and the arduous services you are rendering the good cause.  I have again looked at your

appointments and am inclined to insist that you shall speak at Belvidere on the 8th or 9th of October. Let me hear from you on this point. You can do so without much extra labor by coming to Belvidere direct from Galena. White will send you by express a new book just not "Political Text Book" which I have no doubt is gone. I shall return Monday or Tuesday if possible - if not send (Hurlbrit?), but at all events have to be able to meet you at Vandalia

                                             In great haste

                                                        Truly Yours

                                                              Allen C. Fuller

Lawyer A. C. Fuller
