My first is the initial letter of a city in Illinois.
My second, of a city in Connecticut.
My third, of a river in Virginia.
My fourth, of one of the Territories.
My fifth, of a city in Georgia.
My sixth, of a city in Florida.
My seventh, of a State in New England.
My eighth, of a city in Texas.
My ninth, of a river in Pennsylvania.
My whole was delightful to us all.
