Savannah Georgia January 3, 1865 His Excellency R Yates Springfield Ill Sir As a citizen of Illinois I feel a deep interest not only in the prosperity and well being of our noble State; but also in the righteousness of its laws. And looking from the stand point of Eternal rectitude I cannot but look upon the black laws of Illinois as a system of injustice and inhumanity and unbecoming a civilize people; and a fit representative of the dark ages. I would therefore ask it as a favor of you to exert your influence to have them <hr /> repealed; and forever banished from our Statutes; let the foul stain be forever blotted out. Let the Legislature of Illinois Set such an example in this respect as shall be worthy of imitation in all our Sister States.

Savannah Georgia January 3, 1865 His Excellency R Yates Springfield Ill Sir As a citizen of Illinois I feel a deep interest not only in the prosperity and well being of our noble State; but also in the righteousness of its laws. And looking from the stand point of Eternal rectitude I cannot but look upon the black laws of Illinois as a system of injustice and inhumanity and unbecoming a civilize people; and a fit representative of the dark ages. I would therefore ask it as a favor of you to exert your influence to have them <hr /> repealed; and forever banished from our Statutes; let the foul stain be forever blotted out. Let the Legislature of Illinois Set such an example in this respect as shall be worthy of imitation in all our Sister States.
