Sir:

The Legislature of the State of Illinois having accepted the donation of Land under act of Congress approved July 2nd 1862, I would respectfully request you to inform me, what other steps are necessary to be taken by the State authorities, to obtain the scrip provided for in the Act. I see that several States have already received their amount of scrip and desire to have the amount due Illinois issued as soon as possible.

Expecting an early reply, I remain

Very Respectfully,

Your obed't serv't

Richd Yates Governor
