&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cincinnati, Ohio March 27 1863
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hon R Yates
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gov of Ill
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am doing a good deal of work for Ill Soldiers, and do it with pleasure.  Many come here discharged with imperfect papers and they can draw no pay on them.  We send their papers back to their Reg, get them corrected, collect their money free.  We furnish our own soldiers transportation at 1 1/2 cts per mile.  I could do your Soldiers more good, if I could give them transportation in certain cases.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Occasionally one is here entirely destitute, no money &amp;amp; no pay due.  I have had several cases where their money has been stolen, &amp;amp; they are entirely destitute
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I should be glad to help them,  and will do anything I can for them; and would issue transportation to them if furnished by your State, making no charge for 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;my services.  I do not think you need and agent here, although there are many of your Soldiers in our hospitals, but if they could be helped in some cases it would add much to their comfort
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I shall do all I can for them, but there some things I cannot do without all charity from the Gov of Ill.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Very Respectfully
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A. B. Lyman
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ohio State Agent 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;M Lyman
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ohio  State Agent for Soldiers Claims
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cincinnati Ohio Mar 27 1863
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Says he is doing a great deal of work for Ill Soldiers who are discharged and have not received their pay.  Wishes authority from the Governor to furnish Transportation to soldiers that are destitute.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ans'd. April 2.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Answer cannot do this for the present on acct of action of State Treasurer - political troubles - hope soon may be able to do something.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Recd Ex O March 28 1863.

                    <text>&lt;p&gt;Waterloo, Ills. March 29. 1863.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The acts and demonstrations of the Copperheads and Secesh in our Monroe County compell me to address you and ask for aid and
instructions. On yesterday I returned from St. Louis, thinking that General Curtis - to whom I stated all the facts - had the power to send a necessary force to our protection, but he informed me: that Illinois did not belong to his Department. General Strong advised me to write to you, therefore I will give you a brief statement of what has lately happened here.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As to my character &amp;amp; standing I refer you to Hon. Lyman Trumbull, O. M. Hatch, Secretary of State, W. I. Conkling, Dr. A. Trapp &amp;amp; Harman Reynolds Grand Secretary of the Grand Lodge of Illinois; I was introduced to you by Gov. Koerner, but of course you cannot recollect every man; I am a German by birth, 29 years in this Country and fought at the battle of San Jacinto, under Sam Houston, at Buena Vista under our late Gov Bessell (of the ([24th?] Ills.) and served as a Captain in the 2nd Mo. Res. Corps in Missouri, Tennessee &amp;amp; Mississippi and am now U. S. Assist. Assessor in the 12th (John Scheell) Assess.District. This I hope will be sufficient, Dear Governor, to introduce myself to you as a good Union man &amp;amp; a Gentleman!
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The enemies of our Country, Copperheads &amp;amp; Secesh, the other day held a meeting in the village of Marysville in the lower part of our County, to resist the enforcement of the Conscription law and to protect deserters; they harbor and keep intercourse with Secesh who cross over from Missouri, insult Union men who they call d- Abolisionists, hold balls and have there the tables decorated with Secesh flaggs, undertake to press money from Union men, giving therefore Confed. money and a Certificate that when Illinois is envaded they shall not be molested &amp;amp; robbed;they sing here in Waterloo, which happened on two days last week, Dixie Songs and hurrah for Jeff. Davis. A Union refugee from Missouri was last week shot dead near Marysville, in the American bottom. They will organize a military company, require arms &amp;amp; amunitions from You, to be able "to subdue the d- Abolition Lincolnites!
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is indeed dangerous for Union men &amp;amp; especially Republicans to go on business into the lower part of our County! What fate may await me when going there to assess in May - God knows!
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What can You do for us, dear Governor? Could You not make a requisition from Genl. Curtis for one or two companies soldiers to be stationed either in Marysville, 6 m. from the Mississippi river, or at Lilly's landing, nearly opposite Sulphur Spring where several hundred men are encamped! If this is done confidence will be
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;restored and I am sure our ennemies will be still and kept harmless; if not - an outbreak will come! I don't see how it can be avoided. The principal leaders are James H. Lilly - owner of Lillys landing, John H. Liddell, an acting Justice of the Peace, Dr. Lewis James, Sebatian Berger, Theobald Edinger and Dr. A. L Carabine, all living in the neighborhood of Maryvsville.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The American bottom is the most dangerous place we fear; here in Waterloo and vicinity we can take care of ourselves and protect us, as our Union League numbers about 100 and are ready at any minutes warning 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here, dear Governor, I have given you a true statement of facts and I hope you will act accordingly and show to us the same energy and kindness as you have towards our boys in the field.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Please dont mention my name.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Most Respectfullly
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your obedt servt
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;C. H. Kettler.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To Hon. Richard Yates
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Governor of the State of Illinois
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Springfield, Ills.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;C H Kettler
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Waterloo Ills March 29 63
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Says the acts and demonstrations
of the copperheads in Monroe County
compells him to address the Governor.
Says they harber rebels from Missouri
press money from union men -
visit Waterloo sing secesh songs
&amp;amp; hurrah for Jiff Davis - shot
a Union refugee last week  in the
american bottom &amp;amp; are organizing 
a company to subdue the d-
abolition Lincolnites - as to himself
he refers to Hon L Trumbull, Hatch,
Conkling &amp;amp; others - Genl Curtis had
not the power to assist them - hopes
the Governor will act - and show
them the same energy and kindness
that he has the soldiers in the field -
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;[Ren?]

&lt;p&gt;The enemies of our Country, Copperheads &amp;amp; Secesh, the other day held a meeting in the village of Marysville in the lower part of our County, to resist the enforcement of the Conscription law and to protect deserters; they harbor and keep intercourse with Secesh who cross over from Missouri, insult Union men who they call d- Abolisionists, hold balls and have there the tables decorated with Secesh flaggs, undertake to press money from Union men, giving therefore Confed. money and a Certificate that when Illinois is envaded they shall not be molested &amp;amp; robbed;they sing here in Waterloo, which happened on two days last week, Dixie Songs and hurrah for Jeff. Davis. A Union refugee from Missouri was last week shot dead near Marysville, in the American bottom. They will organize a military company, require arms &amp;amp; amunitions from You, to be able "to subdue the d- Abolition Lincolnites!
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is indeed dangerous for Union men &amp;amp; especially Republicans to go on business into the lower part of our County! What fate may await me when going there to assess in May - God knows!
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What can You do for us, dear Governor? Could You not make a requisition from Genl. Curtis for one or two companies soldiers to be stationed either in Marysville, 6 m. from the Mississippi river, or at Lilly's landing, nearly opposite Sulphur Spring where several hundred men are encamped! If this is done confidence will be
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;restored and I am sure our ennemies will be still and kept harmless; if not - an outbreak will come! I don't see how it can be avoided. The principal leaders are James H. Lilly - owner of Lillys landing, John H. Liddell, an acting Justice of the Peace, Dr. Lewis James, Sebatian Berger, Theobald Edinger and Dr. A. L Carabine, all living in the neighborhood of Maryvsville.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The American bottom is the most dangerous place we fear; here in Waterloo and vicinity we can take care of ourselves and protect us, as our Union League numbers about 100 and are ready at any minutes warning 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here, dear Governor, I have given you a true statement of facts and I hope you will act accordingly and show to us the same energy and kindness as you have towards our boys in the field.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Please dont mention my name.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Most Respectfullly
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your obedt servt
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;C. H. Kettler.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To Hon. Richard Yates
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Governor of the State of Illinois
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Springfield, Ills.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;C H Kettler
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Waterloo Ills March 29 63
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Says the acts and demonstrations
of the copperheads in Monroe County
compells him to address the Governor.
Says they harber rebels from Missouri
press money from union men -
visit Waterloo sing secesh songs
&amp;amp; hurrah for Jiff Davis - shot
a Union refugee last week  in the
american bottom &amp;amp; are organizing 
a company to subdue the d-
abolition Lincolnites - as to himself
he refers to Hon L Trumbull, Hatch,
Conkling &amp;amp; others - Genl Curtis had
not the power to assist them - hopes
the Governor will act - and show
them the same energy and kindness
that he has the soldiers in the field -

Wethersfield Henry Co Ills
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;March 30th 1863
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To His Excellency Richard Yates
Gov of the State of Illinois
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I desire to call your attention to the situation of my son Selden Miner who is a member of the 9th Ill Cavalry now at Helena Ark
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He the said Selden Miner enlisted in the U S service at Kewanee Ills Oct 8th 1861 and was mustered into service at Chicago Oct 17th 1861. on Jan 1st 1862 he was appointed Hospital Steward of the 2nd Bat. 9th Ill. Cav. Sept 26th 1862 a General order from the Adjt. Genl. declared these Battallion Officers Supernumerary and ordered them vacated. Under this order the Batt. Non-Comd staff as they were termed (of which he Selden Miner was one) in the 9th Ills Cav - were mustered out of service Oct 12th 1862 -
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The said Selden Miner is reported on the Books Rolls &amp;amp;c of the Regt. as mustered out at that date, but was not. he was absent on sick leave at the time of the
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Inspections and Musterout. Now he wants either his discharge under the provisions of said G.O No 126, or to be restored to position and duty. At present he is not on Books or Rolls, and consequently is not drawing pay or allowance having clothed &amp;amp; subsisted himself without pay since Oct 12th 1862, and the Comdg. officer of the Regt has repeatedly refused him pay clothing and subsistence
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And now my dear Sir I appeal to you as the Governor of the State of Illinois to interpose with your authority and cause the said Selden Miner to be mustered out of the service or restored to position and duty.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am Sir Respectfully your
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Obt Servant
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Chas B. Miner
&lt;/p&gt;

yesterday and over heard a conversation between two C.H. one was telling the other that he had good News from Springfield They had one Thousand [prime?] rifles and was distributing a rifle and revolver to every man that would agree to use them and says he you will hear from them in less than thirty days Dick Yates will be hung and Springfield laid in ashes and then says he the
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;work commences.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What think you of such a state of things would it not be well to Notify the Gov. of the report it can do no harm if it does no good
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yours Respectfuly

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mason Ills. March 24/63

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As you have some correspondence with Gov. Yates would it not be well enough to inform him of the following.Ishmal Dilly was at Richmond
yesterday and over heard a conversation between two C.H. one was telling the other that he had good News from Springfield They had one Thousand [prime?] rifles and was distributing a rifle and revolver to every man that would agree to use them and says he you will hear from them in less than thirty days Dick Yates will be hung and Springfield laid in ashes and then says he the
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;work commences.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What think you of such a state of things would it not be well to Notify the Gov. of the report it can do no harm if it does no good
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yours Respectfuly
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Wheeler Wright
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mason Ills. March 24/63
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Governor:

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yours in haste.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Greenberry Wright.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Says a Mr Dilly over heard 
a conversation the other day
between two Copperheads one
said he had good news from
Springfield, they had received
one thousand Rifles and were
distributing them, they would
hear from them soon the Governor
was to be hung and the town 
laid in ashes.
