Madison, Wis., June 21 1866
My Dear Draper
Your of this date is at hand and contents noted. I inclose [sic] you the $5 -- can have more if you need it.
I have a letter from Mr. Love asking suggestions about the group by which I judge he has no positive arrangements for it as yet -- may succeed, possibly. He speaks of dead heroes -- Col. L. H. D. Crane among the number, will be all right I think.
All well. Take care of your health. Don't work too hard.
Truly your friend
S. V. Shipman
