Gov. Yates,
Dear Sir,
Yours of a late note accompanying package of documents was only recd, had the documents distributed.

I am not in the secrets of any of the factions, nor in their interest. I will however try to act for the best interest of the State, when the time arrives.
With Thanks for the documents

Truly Yours [illegible marks]
