&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Pardon me for troubling you but as I belong to Ill, I take a great deal of interest, in anything connected with the state.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I read the enclosed scrap today and I would like to ask if the statement be true, and if it has your favor.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Most Respectfully

Persons who bring them there are to be liable to fine and imprisonment, and the negroes to be SOLD(!), the purchasers being authorized to flog or imprison them in case they will not work.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Camp Near Falmouth
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Apl. 3d, 1863
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gov. Yates
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Pardon me for troubling you but as I belong to Ill, I take a great deal of interest, in anything connected with the state.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I read the enclosed scrap today and I would like to ask if the statement be true, and if it has your favor.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Most Respectfully
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Frank S. Halliday,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Co. G. 2d. Regt. R. I Vol.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Washington D.C.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Wants to know if the Act introduced authorizing sale &amp;amp;c of negroes coming into the State has become a law and if the Gov. favors it.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Bill for an act of the character mentioned in the extract was defeated much to the satisfaction of the republican party who opposed it

                  <text>&lt;p&gt;The first classes at the McCormick Theological Seminary took place in a log cabin in Indiana in 1829. During the Civil War the school relocated to Chicago's Lincoln Park neighborhood. In 1859 Chicago entrepreneur and Presbyterian layman Cyrus H. McCormick and his wife, Nettie Fowler McCormick, became the seminary's major financial patrons. The relationship between the McCormick family and the school remained well into the twentieth century.&amp;nbsp;Shortly after McCormick&amp;rsquo;s death in 1884, the school was renamed McCormick Theological Seminary. Several campus buildings are named for McCormick family members including McCormick Hall, Fowler Hall, and Virginia Library. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s assassination in 1968, seminary faculty and students were active in the civil rights movement and provided assistance to displaced and injured participants. The seminary relocated to Chicago's Hyde Park neighborhood in 1975.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The photographs in this collection include portraits of the McCormick Theological Seminary Class of 1896, school professors, and campus buildings.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Phila March 4th 1861
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Brother
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I received your kind letter of last week &amp;amp; was very glad hear from you &amp;amp; the rest of the family.  I had intended to have went out this evening but I got from the store rather late &amp;amp; before we finished supper Theodore came in &amp;amp; spent part of the evening so after he left I thought I would write you &amp;amp;  go out to morrow night perhaps you think where. Theodore told you came to see him &amp;amp; about you going to look at the cariages
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I suppose you would like to know how Mr Evans &amp;amp; me made it well we had quite a talk Saturday evening he said it was his disposition to keep me if he could but it seemed to him that he ought to have an experienced hand &amp;amp; if he did get one he could not afford to keep us both but however he wanted me to come on this week &amp;amp; he would think about it &amp;amp; would keep me if he could so decide.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If he does not keep me you may look for me home sometime nexweek for if he does keep me it is high time I was looking for something to do for my money is going like water for I have spent all of that you gave me &amp;amp; want seven dollars more as soon as you can send it after you receive this letter for if I do not stay here I shall want some
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;to come home on  I have got my new coat you know I told you I was going to get a short sack but when I went to get it cut out I changed my mind &amp;amp; had it cut a frocksack &amp;amp; it comes down to my knees &amp;amp; has very large sleeves I shall look like a squirt with it down there.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cousin Richard got home from Salem on Wednesday afternoon &amp;amp; left home the next morning &amp;amp; does not expect to be back any more until Saturday.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The weather here for more than a week past has been delightful but when the wind blows the dust files in clouds and makes it very unpleasant.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I suppose Abraham is in his big chair now his [speech?] was in this evening Bulletin but have not seen it but will to morrow morning. Today has been a great day in Washington it is said the city was crowded with visiters  to overflowing.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I was at Mary Aulds to dinner yesterday They were all well &amp;amp; Mary has plenty of  work.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mariah is quite miserable she is geting almost past walking.  I received Clarys letter and it was very interesting tell him to write again &amp;amp; I will answer when I can  it is growing toards bedtime so I must soon stop writing  answer as soon as you can after you receive this &amp;amp; don't forget the dimes  give my love to all &amp;amp; to all inquiring friends.  Your loving brother 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Frank
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Phila March 4th 1861
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Brother
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I received your kind letter of last week &amp;amp; was very glad hear from you &amp;amp; the rest of the family.  I had intended to have went out this evening but I got from the store rather late &amp;amp; before we finished supper Theodore came in &amp;amp; spent part of the evening so after he left I thought I would write you &amp;amp;  go out to morrow night perhaps you think where. Theodore told you came to see him &amp;amp; about you going to look at the cariages
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I suppose you would like to know how Mr Evans &amp;amp; me made it well we had quite a talk Saturday evening he said it was his disposition to keep me if he could but it seemed to him that he ought to have an experienced hand &amp;amp; if he did get one he could not afford to keep us both but however he wanted me to come on this week &amp;amp; he would think about it &amp;amp; would keep me if he could so decide.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If he does not keep me you may look for me home sometime nexweek for if he does keep me it is high time I was looking for something to do for my money is going like water for I have spent all of that you gave me &amp;amp; want seven dollars more as soon as you can send it after you receive this letter for if I do not stay here I shall want some
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;to come home on  I have got my new coat you know I told you I was going to get a short sack but when I went to get it cut out I changed my mind &amp;amp; had it cut a frocksack &amp;amp; it comes down to my knees &amp;amp; has very large sleeves I shall look like a squirt with it down there.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cousin Richard got home from Salem on Wednesday afternoon &amp;amp; left home the next morning &amp;amp; does not expect to be back any more until Saturday.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The weather here for more than a week past has been delightful but when the wind blows the dust files in clouds and makes it very unpleasant.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I suppose Abraham is in his big chair now his [speech?] was in this evening Bulletin but have not seen it but will to morrow morning. Today has been a great day in Washington it is said the city was crowded with visiters  to overflowing.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I was at Mary Aulds to dinner yesterday They were all well &amp;amp; Mary has plenty of  work.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mariah is quite miserable she is geting almost past walking.  I received Clarys letter and it was very interesting tell him to write again &amp;amp; I will answer when I can  it is growing toards bedtime so I must soon stop writing  answer as soon as you can after you receive this &amp;amp; don't forget the dimes  give my love to all &amp;amp; to all inquiring friends.  Your loving brother 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Frank
&lt;/p&gt;
