Richard Yates to Henry W. Halleck

March 18 [186]2.

Maj Genl. Halleck

Saint Louis Mo.

Dear Sir:

A large and commodious Hotel in Beardstown in this state, if needed can be obtained at a low rent, for a Hospital. It contains 38 rooms and is situated near the river, being quite easy of access from your city. It is a spacious and comfortable building and would make an Excellent Hospital. You can address Hon. [W.?] E. [illegible] Beardstown, or myself.

I remain General,

Very Respectfully,

Richd Yates.
