To His Excellency

Richard Yates

Dear Sir

Yours of the 27 inst just recd. My wife is quite sick but will try if she improves to be with your next week.

I have never had any fears about your election. I have talked the matter up so much at home that I may have become too sanguine. Still I am of the opinion you need give yourself no uneasiness about it.

To refuse you this honor, after all you have done for the State and the Administration, would be a piece of ingratitude of which our representatives will not be guilty. They ought to know, the people demand and will certainly expect your election to the Senate of the


United States.

Nothing would afford me more pleasure than to render you any assistance in my power and be assured, I will endeavor to be on hand, provided I can >u?possibly</u> leave home.

Very Truly Your friend

Thos. G. McCulloh

Peoria Dec 28/64

His wife is sick and he dont know that he can leave home, but if he can he will be on hands, as nothing would give him more pleasure than to assist you in your efforts for the Senate, as he think you ought to have it.
