George Edgar to Richard Yates

Washington D.C

Apr 9/61

Hon Richard Yates

Governor of Ills

Dr Sir

I received the enclosed letter from Dr Edgar after you had left this City. If consistent with your ideas of propriety please endorse it and return at your earliest convenience, as it may be of service to me.

I spent the last Campaign in [Wabash?] Ia & regretted much that I was absent when you visited our place (Mt Carmel) You doubtless will here from our mutual constituents in "Egypt" in regard to myself ere many days.

Yours With Respect

George Edgar
