Ira Buck to Richard Yates

Illinois Sate Penitentiary

Commissioners Office

Joliet, July 23 1864

Dear Governor,

I several Days ago received a letter from you, requesting the names of prominent Union men in my own and neighboring counties. And supposing the use you wished to make of them having taken more time in getting full lists.

Believing that what is worth doing at all, should be well done.

I therefore send you pretty full lists of Kane & Will and partial lists of Dupage, Kendall & DeKalb.

I see from the paper of today that you were at Quincy yesterday,

I hope & trust you had a good time, and I think that Adams county wants the pure gospel preached to them, and I trust you may have reached the consciences of some.

Truly Yours &

Ira M. Buck.
