Head-Quarters, Post Military Commission, Memphis, Tenn April 10, 1863 Dear Governor, I dont know whether you are bored to death by my Applications or not, but I ask leave to trouble you once more. Brig. Genl. L. Thomas Adj. Genl. U.S.A., will be here in a very few days from Vicksburg. I am informed that he is empowered to grant Commissions to such Officers as he shall see fit to raise and command Nego Regts. I should be very glad to get a line from you to him urging and recommending me for an appointment as Colonel. If you see fit to send me such I think that, taken in connection with the Recommendations I have from all the Generals I have served under, it will accomplish the object desired. Mr. E. P. Kirby wrote to me saying that you had written to me in answer to a former letter some two or more months ago, and that you had also made application to the <hr /> War Department in my favor. I am greatly obliged to you although by some accident I failed to get your letter. Major Hubbard of our Regt. lately resigned and went into the Marine Brigade. Col. Ritter, Lt. Col. Price and all the other Officers of my Regt. here, as soon as as they received the news, at once insistedly agreed in my favor as Major, but within a week afterwards we learned that Gov. Gamble had already, without waiting to hear from us at all, appointed a St. Louis Man. Our new Colonel and Lieut. Col., who have been appointed within 6 or 8 months, are outsiders who never belonged to our Regt. but were 2d Lieutenants in the Regular Army; so you perceive that Promotions in our Regt. are all arbitrarily made from the outside. We all wish that the Regt. was transferred to its own State, Illinois. A Semi-Secesh Governor is a great damper to the efficiency of Men and Officers. I am detailed on a Permanent Post Commission here, but I prefer service in the field, say under Rosecrans, to all else. Yours very Respectfully, Barboour Lewis Capt. Co. G. 1st Mo.

Taylor and William R. Boyd letter 3/8/63 Head Qurs 126th Regt Ill Inftry. Jackson Tenn April 1st 1863 To His Exellency Richd Yates Gov of Illinois I forward the enclosed letter from an unhung traitor in my own county, as a fair sample of those frequently received from citizens of old Montgomery. It needs no comment. I have thought of sending it, or some one of kindred doctrine to some Northern Paper for publication, but am ashamed to give them publicity, emanating as they have from a County that has sent over a Regt of true Solders into the feild. Again it will be giving "comfort to the rebels" to publish such sentiments from their northern allies. As executive of the State I think you should know the feeling in all sections; hence I send it. Other letters state that bands are being organised and drilled in Montgomery Co. with the avowed purpose of resisting the military authorities. For the sake of the cause in which our nation is engaged; for the protection of the dear ones, we - the solders - have left behind us; and in order that the glorious reputation which has been achieved for our State since your Election as Gov, may continue to be unsullied, I beg of you hurl the home traitors into _______ submission. over <hr /> A word on military business. When the commissions were sent to this Regt - the 126th a 2nd Lts Com. came to Lt Joseph W Newberry, and none for 2nd Lt Edwin T Sammons, both of Co "D" Lt Sammons was mustered into the service Sept 4th as 2nd Lt Co "D" & Lt Newberry as 1st Lt.

Taylor and William R. Boyd letter 3/8/63 Head Qurs 126th Regt Ill Inftry. Jackson Tenn April 1st 1863 To His Exellency Richd Yates Gov of Illinois I forward the enclosed letter from an unhung traitor in my own county, as a fair sample of those frequently received from citizens of old Montgomery. It needs no comment. I have thought of sending it, or some one of kindred doctrine to some Northern Paper for publication, but am ashamed to give them publicity, emanating as they have from a County that has sent over a Regt of true Solders into the feild. Again it will be giving "comfort to the rebels" to publish such sentiments from their northern allies. As executive of the State I think you should know the feeling in all sections; hence I send it. Other letters state that bands are being organised and drilled in Montgomery Co. with the avowed purpose of resisting the military authorities. For the sake of the cause in which our nation is engaged; for the protection of the dear ones, we - the solders - have left behind us; and in order that the glorious reputation which has been achieved for our State since your Election as Gov, may continue to be unsullied, I beg of you hurl the home traitors into _______ submission. over <hr /> A word on military business.

Called at my house to day and informed us that upon a piece of open ground within two miles of Shelbyville the home trattors and renegades meet daily for drill. and that there is allready betwen two and three thousand who meet there and their num- <hr /> bers are daily increseing. allso within a few miles of the Mr. Birks there lived a Union man who refused to join a party of these Traitors and take an oath against the union, he Telling them he was going to live and die a union man they made reply that he would not live long then. So soon after they rushed in rushed in his house at night and attacked him with knifes. his wife wife picked up the gun and shot one of the Traittorous murderers at that moment one of the rascels split her husband's head open they then killed her. The children (two or three) escaped. The above tragedy was gethered from from the oldest girl (who was 8 years old) but who could not tell who the <hr /> the murderers where. Mr. Burk tells me he heard a renegade from Missouri by name Morgan n.

As Mr. Burk said he did not know of any one who had sent you word cartain but supposed they had.
