Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Governors Letter-Books, 1840-1853, Vol. 2

Notwithstanding these deficiencies, it has been thought best to reproduce the letter books as they stand. Some of the missing letters are doubtless irretrievably lost. Mrs. Julia Duncan Kirby, in her sketch of Governor Duncan, notes the destruction in the great Chicago fire of a considerable body of Duncan manu scripts, then deposited with the Chicago Historical Society I It is hoped that the publication of this series may stimulate an interest in the subject which may result in filling some of the gaps.
