(64) Jefferson City, Dec 29. Dear Col: If you knew what work I had to do from the moment I reached St Louis until this time, you would not blame me for not sooner writing you; and even now I write in the greatest haste. I presume you saw the "suggestin I made in the Democrat of the 28th. It was handed in late to the foreman by a friend whom I sent it down by, and not given a very prominent position; but you known they have been having terrible times among the printers lately. Did you get my letter from the Democrat office in regard to the preventing of outrage by the [printers?] of St Louis on Chicago printers who came down to work in their places? <hr /> Enclosed you will find a copy of a letter written by Col.

(64) Jefferson City, Dec 29. Dear Col: If you knew what work I had to do from the moment I reached St Louis until this time, you would not blame me for not sooner writing you; and even now I write in the greatest haste. I presume you saw the "suggestin I made in the Democrat of the 28th. It was handed in late to the foreman by a friend whom I sent it down by, and not given a very prominent position; but you known they have been having terrible times among the printers lately. Did you get my letter from the Democrat office in regard to the preventing of outrage by the [printers?] of St Louis on Chicago printers who came down to work in their places? <hr /> Enclosed you will find a copy of a letter written by Col. Beveridge, of the 17th Illinois Cavalry, to Gov. Oglesby. The Colonel is about to be publicly thanked by the Legislature of Missouri for the part he has taken in the campaign against Price. His recommendation ought to have weight with Oglesby. But I think you will be appointed. Please write me, (care of Gov. Fletcher,) how matters progress with you.

Dwight Dec. 28th 1864 His Excellency Gov. Yates: Sir when I had the honor to call on you in Springfield a short time since, I mentioned that I was in contemplation to organize a society having for its object the establishment of industrial homes. The present influx of Refugees and Contrabands seems to demand something of this nature, in order to save many from degrading pauperism and almost inevitable vice. You were so kind as to remark that you would be glad to [notice?] any thing of the kind in your forthcoming <hr /> message and I therefore enclose to your address the Constitution and Resolutions adopted by the patriotic ladies assembled at Chicago during the Freedmen's Fair which has just closed. We hope the ideas embodied, may meet with general approbation and acceptance, and that a class of charities being demanded by the misfortunes of the poor, will soon spring up at the touch of beneficent legislation, fostered by Christian Charity. With sentiments of high esteem I remain truly Your obedient servt Mrs. H. M. Tracy Cutler <hr /> Cutler Mrs. H. M. T. Dwight Dec. 31/64 As you told her you would like to speak of the project for organizing an Industrial Home in your message, she sends you their constitutions and resolutions passed at the Freedmen's Fair. <hr /> Industrial Homes. Organization of a Society to Make Provision for the Destitute - The Committee. A meeting of ladies was held at Bryan Hall on Monday, a.m., at 9 o'clock, according to previous notice, to form an association for the organization of a National Industrial Home. Mrs. H. Tracey Cutler was appointed President, and Miss Eliza Cherrie, Secretary. The Committee, to whom was assigned the drafting of resolutions and constitution, submitted the following which were approved and adopted: Whereas, In the present organization of society, and especially since the great rebellion has culminated in most desolating war, multitudes of helpless women and children, as well as aged and infirm men, have been thrown upon the charity of the public, and Whereas, Charity, when it provides only the measure of relief that for the passing hour saves the individual from starvation, and leaves the sufferer still dependent, often tends to the encouragements of indolence, and leads directly to degredation, and Whereas, Labor is God's appointed means of comfort for the human race, and the source of all temporal prosperity, we who desire to aid, most wisely and effectively all who need aid, agree to organize ourselves into an association for the promotion of this object. Art. 1. This Society shall be known as the National Industrial Association. Art. 2. The officers of this Association shall be a President, Vice-Presidents, Secretary, Treasurer and a Board of Directors, to be elected annually, at such time and place as the President and Board of Directors shall designate. Art. 3. The object of this Association shall be, by all proper methods, to seek to organize industrial homes, where all destitute persons can be received and employed in such a manner as to prevent degrading pauperism; where orphan children can be cared for, and the aged and helpless shall not be turned away; where the widow may go with her children and find shelter, and at the same time the means of giving them an industrial education that shall fit them for all the duties of good citizens. From these homes, good help should be furnished for those requiring labor, thus putting the laborer in communication with the employer, without the indolence and waste of time connected with ordinary intelligence offices, and to which they can return when their term of service expires, without being left to the temptations which beset the unemployed. Art. 4. The duties of the President, Vice Presidents and Secretaries shall be such as usually pertain to similar offices. The Board of Directors, presided over by the President, shall seek to organize State Associations, auxiliary to the National Association, and these shall seek for other auxiliary organizations, whereby the masses of the people shall be interested in becoming partakers in this benificent work. They shall also have power to arrange homes as soon as means can be procured for the commencement of their work. They shall also memorialize our State Legislature and Executive to make such appropriation, for the purposes above specified, as their wisdom shall see fit. Congress should be applied to in behalf of the Territories and the District of Columbia, inasmuch as the first duty of a State or nation is to look after the interests of those whose projectors have fallen into the national service. Art. 5. Any lady may become an annual member and entitled to vote at any meeting, by the payment of one dollar, or a life member on the payment of $25. Any gentleman may become an honorary member, and may attend the meetings and advise with the members, on payment of $5 annually, or a life member by the payment of $25. Art. 6. This Constitution may be amended by a vote of two-thirds of the members present at any annual meeting, provided that notice to that effect shall be given, through the Secretary, one month in advance of such meeting. The following resolutions were then adopted: Resolved, That the safety and future prosperity of our nation depends, not only upon the success of our national armies, but upon the intelligence and virtue of our people, who shall know how to convert victory into a blessing, even to our enemies. Resolved, That the ignorance and poverty that is fleeing from the desolation of war and finding a temporary asylum in our great cities, will not only add greatly to our pecuniary burthens, but will involve an alarming increase of vice and degradation, especially among unemployed women and children; that therefore it becomes us as patriotic women to seek out the best methods of relieving present suffering, without encouraging vagrancy and fostering crime. Resolved, That to accomplish this, it is needful first to provide homes, and then to furnish employment, either in these homes or by finding avocations among our citizens; and that for these objects we deem such an organization as this now <hr /> [Verso of page 4] <hr /> contemplated a necessary step in the progress of our nation. Resolved, In view of these considerations, that we earnestly invite the hearty co-operation of all lovers of humanity, and especially of all patriots, who are zealous of the true prosperity and glory of our beloved land.

Will try and furnish you with some statistics. </pre> <pre> I proposed to the Board last night, to request of the Legislature a Committee on (Samtay?) matters. They will do so. And through that Committee we can operate no doubt. They, if appointed, will investigate the doings of the Commission. </pre> <pre> I am applied to every 10 minutes by some body wanting something, Soldiers & women after passes on Roads, and relief, etc etc etc till I begin to despair of ever getting any sort of a Report prepared. It will of necessity be a slim affair _ I Know. But I can't help it. </pre> <pre> Most truly your friend </pre> <pre> I.R. Woods </pre> <hr /> Have just sent $1000.00 to Nashville for relief of the Soldiers from the Battle. <hr /> Status The current transcription status of a document or a page.

Yates </pre> <pre> Dear Gov'r, </pre> <pre> Your letter of the 17" (inct?) was received yesterday, having been opened & remailed by my father at Tuscola. The following is an extract from his letter of transmittal: "Enclosed find a letter from Gov Yates. His speeches had not come to hand last night, of course they are for distribution in this region of Country & unless otherwise directed I shall distribute them. I presume they should be sent to the members elect of the Legislature. I think it will be to Your interests (& to the Govr's) to be at Springfield as requested by the Govr & I hope you will have that a fixed thing in your mind: So we hope You will make every necessary arrangement to be at home about that time. I will try & see Mr Jones of Bourbon (our member elect JEC) & feel him & ask him to send the Speeches to other members". I quote so much of my fathers letter </pre> <hr /> that you may know what disposition has been made of your Speeches. & that also that You have a firm friend in the person of my humble but honorable "paternal (deniston?)." Your letter was intended to be Confidential, but I assure You, Your Confidence will not be abused by my father as he is a warm admirer & zealous supporter of yours. I had given him authority to open & if necessary to answer any letters that might be sent to Tuscola during my absence in the army. <pre> A few days ago, I wrote you a rather lengthy letter explaining the Cause of my absence from home & from the Canvass just Closed. I hope ere this You have received that letter. </pre> <pre> I hope Governor, You may have no opposition & that You may be elected with a glorious & enthusiastic unaminity. It will be a matter of pleasure of Choice & I may say of duty with me to render you all the assistance in my power & if I were at home now & during the sitting of the Legislature or even then, that influence would not be inconsiderable. How about Genl's Palmer and Logan will they make efforts for the position? </pre> <pre> I would like to be posted so that knowing the position of the enemy, I can maneuver to advantage. </pre> <hr /> I have heard nothing except that they are both in Illinois & Palmer is thought to have "Cleared for action." <pre> if I am not fortunate enough to be at Springfield at the opening of the Session, I will however keep my pen busy & I think I can do something in that way. I am intimately acquainted with Three (3) members from my immediate locality & perhaps others but I am intimate with Messr Jones of Douglas, S.P. Spink of Edgar (Edit??) and Freeland of Moultrie. I think I will have as much influence with the gentlemen above named as any one from our State. I was the Choice of Messrs Spink & Freeland, for Congress last Spring but I gave way to Mr Bromwell. Mr Bromwell promises me that whatever I wanted if in his power I should have; or at all events his assistance. Now I will write & tell him the first thing I wish to accomplish is, that you must have the pleasure of bowing Richardson out of "my (Douglas') place" & of taking it yourself. </pre> <pre> I will immediately write to Jones, Spink & Freeland & urge them not only to support You but to do all within their power to secure Your triumphant election. Mr.Spink is quite an able man & a zealous worker </pre> <hr /> I feel confident he will support You & if he does, he will do to consider one of (illegible) "main Spokes." Look well to his support. He is an intensely radical man & I think will make his mark in the Halls of our Legislature. <pre> I must if possible (even if I leave the Service) be present at Springfield at the beginning of the Session. If I am not present the cause will be that "uncle Samuel" says I can not go. I do not think Genl Thomas is disposed to let one out of the Service. If I should determine to leave, & as I shall probably only have a few days in which to operate in order to carry our permits Can it be arranged through You with the War Department? </pre> <pre> Now Gov'r I have been in the Service over Three years and Seven months & I came out a Captain. If I am to remain in the army I want promotion & I think I can produce the highest recommendations. But if I have my choice I would like a position as a U S. Dist att'y. & consequently my discharge from the Service. I have by my loss of time in the service made a blank & unprofitable waste of three & a half years of my life, so far as Civil pursuits are concerned, & I think I should now be looking to my future. Do you know whether Weldon will continue as U.S. Dist att'y? or do you know of any probable vacancy (pari? passer)? Please let me know in regard to this. If I can not obtain a position as U.S. atty at Some point I wish if possible to be appointed in the Judge advocate's Department of the army with the rank of Col or at least Lieut Col. There are as I learn vacancies in that Dept & from my knowledge as a civil practitioner & large experience as a Judge advocate of Mil. Courts I will have no difficulty in obtaining testimonials, but I am not positive there is a rank in the J.A's Dept of Lieut Col. I am permitted to use some of the highest authorities in the army as References __ Besides Mil. authorities, I can obtain the assistance of Several eminent lawyers also that of Hon John P Usher. </pre> <hr /> <pre> (Dec 1864) </pre> <pre>In regard to appointments I am informed by a former officer of my regt that one Edwin Harlan (formerly a Captain in the 21st) has applied for a reappointment in the army, I think in the U.S. Dept. Allow me to say Govr that in my opinion it is our duty to prevent him from obtaining any position in the army. Harlan is a bad & a dishonest man & a "Copperhead". He supported the "Peace" Party & voted for Robinson Allen & Co. My informer is an old officer of Harlans Company & is unquestionably the most unexceptionable authority. He (my informer) was late a Candidate for Circuit Clerk in Marshall County but by the acts of Harlan & Robinson Allen & men of that ilk was defeated. </pre> <pre> I crave Your pardon Gov'r for inflicting You with so long a letter but justice to the Subjects mater would not permit a more brief communication.
