Dear Governor:-

             Did you ever see the work of a perfect "political (Illegible)", if not read this confidential circular.  Quite a number came to this office to-day, and doubtless they are sent all over the State. Save this for me, if you do not want to use it otherwise All right here. Our Reps & Senator will be on hand Friday or Saturday before the meeting of the Legislature. Fuller writes me to propose him for Speaker and says you told him that I was coming out for him. I think our folks had better go for him.

                                                        Yours in Haste 

                                                                                   Geo S. B

Bangs George S.

Aurora Dec 23rd 1864.

Encloses a confidential circular, all right up there, Rep & Senator will be down Friday or Saturday.
