18 Clark Street.

Chicago Sept. 19th 1862

Dear Governor.

I want to go to Springfield to attend the Convention on Wednesday next. I have not yet concluded whether to go as a delegate or not, owing to some complications in our political machinery at home. At any rate I intend to go down and have much to say to you in regard to your personal interests. Will you send me passes. The editor of the Journal said to me a few minutes ago that he was going to [overhaul?] you in regard to what you say in regard to a specific policy in your last Proclamation. So look out for squalls

I remain very truly

Your friend,

S.M. Willson
