My labors commenced in the Spring of 1854 and were continuous till we achieved a triumph in 1860, resulting in my complete bankruptcy, while it has been the feathering of the nests of hundreds who have not done a tithe of the work I have. I have asked the Administration at Washington to help me out of my troubles and am treated with contempt and insults; a Democrat that I have been fighting against for years, and one who of all others would rejoice at seeing me neglected has been <hr /> appointed to an office over my head. I would like to be placed in a position where I can earn bread for my family. Of the many places at your bestowal can you not give me a chance?

The St. Louis recruiting officers swarm through every place, and by dint of many false promises, induce men to go away. There are 2 Companies now in Camp, and a fraction of one. Two or three more from other counties are already offered.

Refugees of both parties are seeking safety among us. Several rebel soldiers have brought their families across & returned to fight. Their spies have traversed the county.

In order to the latter, arms are needed at once. If we cannot get them from the state, we must get some for ourselves. We hear that you have commenced the distribution. If so can you not spare us enough for a Company of Cavalry or for 50 at least, at once. If you cannot provide us can you allow one of your subordinates to give us information as to where arms can be procured cheapest. We find that cheapness will quadruple our numbers, if we purchase our own arms. We suppose we need for cavalry a Minnie Rifle (short, 32 metres & with a strap) & Minnie Cartridges.

Springfield August 26th 1861 To his Excellency Governor R. Yates Commander in Chief of the Illinois State Militia Sir, I am at present Major of the 24th Regiment Ills Vols under Col. Hocker. the regiment as you will remember I organized and had it accepted by the war Department. During the last three months we have been in service very intimate and pleasant relationships have sprung up between myself and the officers and men under me and I honestly believe that there is not a regiment of the whole volunteer force in the army that can boast of better men or officers, but at the same time I am under the necessity to confess that the chief of our Regiment does not possess the military qualities and atributes that are necessary to make a good leader and to preserve discipline among his men. his character is unimpeachable but his temper is such as to create and keep up a continual dissension and feeling of distrust between himself and the officers. The result of entering the battlefield under such circumstances would be a sad one. I am on the best standing with both the Colonel and the rest of the officers nevertheless I would prefer to serve my country in some other regiment coming from the State of my adoption. There are now as I understand several <hr /> new Regiments forming under your supervision and if your Excellency has not assigned all the field officers to those Regiments yet, I would respectfully apply for a post in one of the Regiments. I was brought up a military man have been a commissioned officer during the Hungarian war when only 17 years old and am ready to submit to the most rigid examination on matters necessary for the accomplishments of a Colonel or Lieut. Col. I can refer your Excellency to the Hon. W B Ogden Hon J. N. Arnold Hon J. Y. Scammon Genl. Asboth of Genl Fremonts staff with whom I served under [Kossuth?].

Springfield Aug. 26 1861 His Excellency Governor Yates Dear Sir: As when I called upon you this morning I found you so ill, I did not say to you, all that I wished to say. You will therefore excuse the liberty I take in addressing you. As I told you the "hard times" has compelled me to dispose of my paper and printing office at a ruinous sacrifice and with almost discouragement and despair I have looked into the future to discover if possible where I am to land, to use a sailor's phraseology. I well know, or at least can imagine the numerous applications that are made to you for positions and and the perplexity in which it must oftentimes involve you. And here let me say that I shall respect you none the less should you fail to do me a favor of the kind I wish <hr /> Allow me to address you Governor, in the same manner in which all men of the common feelings of humanity prefer to be addressed whether occupying a public or private position. Since I was 12 years of age I have been obliged to depend upon my own resources and having had until for the past few years but pore health my way has not been extremely smooth. I merely state this to show you how much of fortunes favors I have known. Securing my education by labor after and before "school hours" and during vacations I believe I know the energy necessary to be carried into any pursuit in order to accomplish any important object. Now Governor had I disposed of my political principles last summer for money or had those in whom I confided used that <hr /> influence for me to sustain me that they promised and that I had reason to expect after aiding and assisting to elevate them to public positions, I would not ask you to assist me at this time. If you could aid me to obtain a situation where I might obtain a salary sufficient to sustain myself and family and give me an opportunity to pay of a few demands against me, I would feel just as I think you would feel were you a young man in my situation - truly grateful. Should I obtain a position as quartermaster of a regiment or any other, I will try and do my duty honestly, energetically and faithfully. Do not recommend nor appoint me unless from what you know or can learn of me I am competent. I write this between hope and fear but I rely <hr /> upon your kindness and forbearance. I ask as a favor that you will let my application or at least my motives for making it remain alive with you.
