Chicago Sept 5th 1864. My very Dear Mrs Yates I am anxious to know how you enjoyed your day's ride home, and how you find yourselves after your journey and visit. I need not say I hope that you are all improved and that my Darling Dickey will soon be able to dig and shovel in the most approved style. He shall soon have the pleasure of seeing Henry I hope, and then we shall learn all particulars. Jamie returned Saturday morning, and very much regretted that you had left. I called at Shays and returned the drawers. The girl said the Lady told her to put up a "pair of drawers and she did so" A new idea I thought and I said does a pair of <hr /> [vertically on the side of page 1] The family all write in much love to [youselfs?] the Governor and your family. <hr /> of drawers mean two pairs of drawers? She insisted that it did! From the present price of Stockings it will be an object perhaps for us when we purchase and pay for a pair to take her ground that she does, and insist that a pair means two pairs!. She returned me the price one dollar seventy five cents $1.75, which I inclose. I had half a mind to look after the handkerchiefs which you spoke of and expend the money there but if you desire it I will purchase them at any time or do any other shopping you may desire with the greatest pleasure. Miss Brennen is here, and we are having a great time in altering and mending for the Children <hr /> I expect I shall leave on Friday Morning with the Children for Miss Ingalls. Miss Minnie Bellamy one of our neighbors doubtless expects to accompany us to attend school. Hoping soon to hear from you with very much love to yourself the governor, and your precious family I am most affectionately yours Al. B Woodworth Please tell darling Dickey that Aunt Al was disappointed and very sorry that he did not come back to give me the Kiss. I waited impatiently for your return until Pat returned and said that you were just starting as he left. I hope you will soon find it convenient to visit Chicago again, when we <hr /> can explore Hyde Park, and I hope and think you will be favorably disposed towards it. When the governor speaks in Chicago we will have a great time and you will certainly come then if not before. Please ask the governor if it would not be well when he speaks here to make an appeal for the Soldier's Orphan fund. It seems to me it is possible at that time to get thousands of dollars subscribed. I saw Mr Baker yesterday. his brother the Surgeon is slowly improving. He seemed deeply affected in his renewed affection. A bright light burst upon us in the taking of [Alalanta?] after the smudge and smoke of the dimocratic Convention. Excuse all and please write soon.
