Chicago April 2d 1862 Hon Richard Yates. My Dear Sir: I have delayed, from day to day, answering your letter, hoping that Blodgett would return from Pea Ridge, & that after seeing him, I could give you some good news from that quarter. He has not yet returned & lest you should misconstrue my silence I thought I would drop you a line. I want to see Blodgett, and [secure?] him if possible, and I am strongly in hopes that I can do so. I have certain strings to pull on him, which I think cannot fail to bring him. After seeing Blodgett, I <hr /> will endeavor to see all the all or nearly all the persons referred to by you, & in short I will devote all of my time to secure your election & to defeat the constitution. The Journal of this city & the Tribune are all right on the Constitution. The Journal will be out tomorrow with a strong leading editorial. The Democrat (German) is also opposed. The Telegraph (German) will remain neutral. The Staats Zeitung has not yet assumed a position. I have had several interviews with Capt Schneider, one of the Editors. He is opposed, but [Brenthano?], his position is doubtful. I cannot learn definitely what <hr /> the Times & Post intend to do but am informed that there is a prospect that both will approve. Wentworth is not so fierce for the Constitution as he was a few days since. He [discovers?] a stronger opposition than he expected & if he is satisfied that it will be defeated in this city, he will, I think, at least remain neutral. It is generally supposed here that he will be a candidate for Mayor. I will write you again after seeing Blodgett or perhaps may run down & see you. Very truly yours E. Peyn Ferry <hr /> Hon. E. P.
