Governor Yates.
Dear Sir Since I saw you I have received a dispatch advising me not to accept the position that you so kindly tendered me, for the reasons I gave you when we last talked on the subject. I am anxiously waiting for a letter from which I can determine what course to pursue. I am obliged to return home to day and will be glad if you will give me longer time to answer you. If that will interfere with your other arrangements this must be taken as
at present declining the appointment.
Very Respectfully Yours
Jackson Grimshaw
