Galesburg Ill. Aug 8" 1865 Friend Wills, I received the enclosed document the other day and went down to Canton to see you and found that you had gone South so I have to write I have sent to Gen Howard $100. for Reuben, and explained why he was left &c. I also said that I should send you the enclosed and that you would send such monies to him as belonged to Reuben, if there were any in your hands. I am going into business in Oneida (I guess) about the first of next month. Frank L
