Better telegraph from Chicago, at my expense. - I beg you won't fail to come here.  I want to see you [[underlined]] very [[/underlined]] much; and I hope you can stay long enough to get some rest.  We want you [[underlined]] at least a week [[/underlined]], if possible.  But if not, we shall be thankful for whatever time you can give us. The Report will be ready for you & I hope the piano album also.
In haste, but must cordially,
Yours as ever,
J.C. Fillmore
