Private. Chicago - Reeds Temple of Music Feb.20/64 To His Excellency, The Governor Yates, of Illinois. My dear friend, I did not receive your letter inviting me to Springfield etc until some ten more more days, after date. I replied to it at once - and told you, that altho I had been sick for a month, I thought I should be strong enough to do myself the honor of becoming your guest, by Monday, or Tuesday next. Through Mr [name] - or some of his people - I have this moment received another letter from you extending your kind invitation. In the mean while, however, there occurred a vacency in the Editorial Management of the Ch. Journal - and it has been finally arranged that I shall fill it - the stipulation being that I Enter upon my duties on Monday next - 29th inst. I had many doubts in my mind as to whether I could in honor, accept this post, pending the negociations between us. But the fact that my exchequer is low - that I have had no employment for two months - that sickness has entailed <hr /> 2/ a good deal of extra expense upon me leaving me well nigh stranded, and at the mercy of a pitiless sea of troubles - weighed with me so powerfully, that I felt it was my duty to my family take the half loaf, better than no loaf! In some respects, I am personally, sorry, and in others glad, that this office has befallen me. Some how, or other, "but wherefore, I know not", as Hamlet says, I have a most sincere attachment & friendship for you - not only as Governor Yates - our Chief Magistrate - but as Richard Yats, our Chief Man! And if I could have been near you, during the next twelve months, I honestly think & believe, that I could have rendered you much good service. The more so, because I should have worked cheerfully for you, for love, and not for pay; nor would you ever have been wronged or sold by me, as I fear you have been, by those whom, probably, you most confidently trusted. I am no politician; and could never have become such, unless to serve some noble heart whom I loved; and for [them?], I must hide myself in darkness, so that I might not appear in a habitat, which did not belong to my roots & nature. But perhaps, in my own field of Enterprise - if, like most other things, it does not turn out an abortion, and leave me in the cold - I may be able to help your work with my pen in any direction to which I may find you turning; and in <hr /> 3/ that case, you may be sure, that the true fellow will be in your interests, whom neither money, nor office, "nor any other creature," could buy from him allegiance. Now, my dear friend, I hope you will not think that I have done wrong in closing so suddenly, with the Journal folks, when I was more than half in your hands already. But did you ever know what it was to be troubled with the disease of impecuniosity? Dost thou know the value of a dollar? - the sweetness of hard earned bread, when a man is hungry, and when the sweat of a days work hardly gave me Enough to eat? If I perceive any thing like this has been [illegible] - thou wilt not marvel that a man who had nothing to do and whose private fortune on which to live - enough in England - is but the half of the wages of an American Mechanic - should seize upon the first honorable employment which might chance to offer. At any rate I will sincerely ask you to forgive me, if in my eagerness to earn my salt, I have in any way, thwarted your designs - which I heartily hope I have not. And indeed, if after sufficient trial I find this Journal is not my true El Dorado in the West; and you have any post for me, where I can be with you, and genuinely serve you, I should like that better than any thing else; and I beseech you, if you care for true service, and not for lip service, to bethink you whether some such arrangement could not be finally effected between us. Don't think <hr /> 4/ Me conceited, or forward, my dear friend, in making this suggestion. It is some of your own so called friends who have pricked me to it, by their falsehood and double dealing in respect to you. At any rate, and under any circumstances, I am yours devoutly. As to the biography, if you will be so good as furnish me with the papers, and get them properly headed, dated, and numbered as to the pages I will, as soon as possible, work them up into form, and make of them a personal record, which can hardly fail to catch the ears & hearts of your constituents, and of those who love you in the West and East. I cannot now come to Springfield on Monday because I must begin with the Journal on that day; nor am I strong enough to venture upon so long a journey, without taking a day or two's rest between going & returning. These days I cannot now spare - and yet I ought to see you for a few hours. Could you not arrange this - that is, if your anticipated journey should bring you to Chicago? I shall want all the Speeches, Essays, Lectures etc. along with any State papers by you - which you may think it wise & proper to publish. And a short note should be appended to each speech, lecture, Essay & political paper, giving the dates of delivery, and the history of the occasion. All this will be absolutely necessary; <hr /> 5/ And it shall go hard, but I will produce a book not unworthy of our beloved Governor. Please write me - if only one line - in reply. Set my mind at ease as to what I have done in the Journal matter - and if you think I have not acted (considering what you proposed to obtain for me) as I ought to have done - point out the remedy and I will right the unwitting wrong.
