Mechanics' Banking Association, New York, July 11th 1864. To His Excellency Rich. Yates Governor of Illinois Sir Referring to your letter dated March 7th 1864, addressed to W.M. Vermilye Esq. - (then acting as President pro-tem of this Bank,) I beg to say, that the object of Mr. Vermilye, in seeking the information therein contained, was simply, to verify the position held by your State Officers, in the matter of the appropriation for retiring the "W. Alister & Stebbins Bonds". Since the receipt of your favor, our late President - Mr. Freeman - who had the Charge of this matter has returned from Europe, and resigned his office. <hr /> Having been recently elected President, in the room of Mr. Freeman, I beg to offer to your Excellency, the disposition of this Bank to effect some settlement of the vexed question Concerning these Bonds. At a recent interview with Hon A Starne Treasurer of your State, I mentioned to him that our Board of Directors do not feel willing to accept the terms offered by your Excellency's letter, above referred to. The established policy of the United States, is to pay coin for their matured indebtedness, and I ventured to suggest to Mr. S. a similar measure in the instance before us. Should this course be acceptable to your Fund - Commissioners, I sincerely believe that I could bring about a final settlement of these Bonds, and, I have no doubt, <hr /> of the other Bonds embraced in the provision of law mentioned in your letter. Be pleased to consider this, and favor me with a reply at your earliest Convenience. Very respectfully Your obed Servt J. H. Fonda P.s <hr /> Fonda J H. New York July 11 1864.

There is also a bill of mine against the note for $260, which John Snyder has. If you could not pay both just now, I would even be glad to have one of them [now?], although I am badly in need of all I can get just now; I did not earn any thing in Washington, as my expenses were very great, and the cost of living of my family at home has been very great, also. I hope you will pardon me for pressing these matters just now. Believe me I would not do so, but that I greatly need the funds. Please write me as soon as possible, as every <hr /> day I remain idle here is a great expense to me I have met several of your friends since I arrived here, all of whom are as enthusiastic as ever.
