Chicago, Aug. 15th, 1877

My Dear Draper:

Your favor of the 13th inst. is at hand. I send you the papers named, by this mail, usually they can be obtained of the Western News Co. cor. Wabash Ave. and Randolph St. or Eastmann and Bartlett, Clark St.

I have found the chances better at the "Palmer House", "Grand Pacific Hotel", "Fremont", or "Sherman House" than at the News Depots.

Am glad to hear that Mrs. D. is recovering, and hope she will be fully restored to health. Take care of yourself.

Am driven with work at the present time.

Sincerely your friend,
S. V. Shipman
