Chicago Sept 5th 1864. My very Dear Mrs Yates I am anxious to know how you enjoyed your day's ride home, and how you find yourselves after your journey and visit. I need not say I hope that you are all improved and that my Darling Dickey will soon be able to dig and shovel in the most approved style. He shall soon have the pleasure of seeing Henry I hope, and then we shall learn all particulars. Jamie returned Saturday morning, and very much regretted that you had left. I called at Shays and returned the drawers. The girl said the Lady told her to put up a "pair of drawers and she did so" A new idea I thought and I said does a pair of <hr /> [vertically on the side of page 1] The family all write in much love to [youselfs?] the Governor and your family. <hr /> of drawers mean two pairs of drawers? She insisted that it did! From the present price of Stockings it will be an object perhaps for us when we purchase and pay for a pair to take her ground that she does, and insist that a pair means two pairs!. She returned me the price one dollar seventy five cents $1.75, which I inclose. I had half a mind to look after the handkerchiefs which you spoke of and expend the money there but if you desire it I will purchase them at any time or do any other shopping you may desire with the greatest pleasure. Miss Brennen is here, and we are having a great time in altering and mending for the Children <hr /> I expect I shall leave on Friday Morning with the Children for Miss Ingalls. Miss Minnie Bellamy one of our neighbors doubtless expects to accompany us to attend school. Hoping soon to hear from you with very much love to yourself the governor, and your precious family I am most affectionately yours Al. B Woodworth Please tell darling Dickey that Aunt Al was disappointed and very sorry that he did not come back to give me the Kiss. I waited impatiently for your return until Pat returned and said that you were just starting as he left. I hope you will soon find it convenient to visit Chicago again, when we <hr /> can explore Hyde Park, and I hope and think you will be favorably disposed towards it. When the governor speaks in Chicago we will have a great time and you will certainly come then if not before. Please ask the governor if it would not be well when he speaks here to make an appeal for the Soldier's Orphan fund. It seems to me it is possible at that time to get thousands of dollars subscribed. I saw Mr Baker yesterday. his brother the Surgeon is slowly improving. He seemed deeply affected in his renewed affection.

He intended reporting with his men but the Provost Marshal, being ordered away, he has a member whose papers are not ready, and some twenty-five coming in tomorrow from Marshall County to join. He has over fifty men, and with those to come in tomorrow, will I am quite sure, make up a full company which will be at Springfield Monday P.M. I sincerely hope you will hold a place for Baker's Company in the Regiment, as I am personally interested. You know it wont do for me to leave the transcript, and Baker is to be my substitute. Hence anything done for him is done for me. If there should be a better thing in the regiment <hr /> open, I presume he would not decline it. After a weeks labor I have got my own man out of the draft, raising the full quota of nineteen men. The balance of the city is working like demons to get out. The Copperheads are ransacking the whole town for individuals & [abscriptians?] for counties to recruit & I telegraphed you today, by no means let any intimation be made that the draft is to be stopped, postponed or time extended. If Oakes could manage to get the right kind of a circular through the Associated Press Despatchers, it would add hundreds to the volunteering daily Yours for the Union E Emery Emory, E Peoria Sept 1st 64 Says that Capt Boaker has raised a company for the new regiment and will be in, with it on Monday.

Springfield Ill Sept 5"/64 To his Excellency, Governor Yates. We The undersigned citizens of Wardford Co. have been appointed by the citizens of the several Townships in the county, to secure, if possible as reduction of our quota in the forthcoming draft. Having thorougly examined the facts in regard to the assignment of our quota, we are satisfied that great injustice has been done, and have, therefore determined to address you setting forth certain facts, and our grievances From announcements in the newspapers, we understood that Illinois would only be required to furnish 16,000 men. We now find that, instead of the state being considered a unit, Each subdistrict is taken as a unit in apportioning the quotas and consequently that the State is actually to be drafted for 39,000 men By examining the credits, we find that we are not credited with the actual number of men furnished owing to the inacuracy of the Rolls of /61 & /62 <hr /> Companies in one county have obtained recruits in adjoining Counties and all have been credited to the county in which the companys were organized. As a result, one county has an excess another a deficit upon the Rolls, while in fact, each has furnished an equal proportion. Such is the fact in Woodford Co. While we could not ask the authorities to go back of the Rolls, for evidence of credits owing the interminable difficulties in that method. and while we do not ask to have the excesses transferred to the deficient Counties, we do feel justified in asking as a partial measure of justice, that the deficient Counties be required only to furnish the actual deficit of the State by 16,000 The government will thus obtain the full number of men required from the State, the deficient Counties will get a partial Credit for the men actually furnished, without injustice to the Counties in excess and will still be liable on future calls. Again, we have only had five days notice of the demands made upon our County <hr /> The quota of Woodford, as announced is 569, This would be reduced one half, by the method above suggested. With a reasonable time, we believe that Woodford could raise the number by volunteers. We have heretofore honored all calls upon our patriotism and are not willing to remain behind now. Believing that the liberality with which Illinois has responded to all calls for soldiers, places you in a position to demand of Government, a candid hearing and as far as possible justice. we would respectfully ask that you endeavor to secure a ruling in accordance with the foregoing suggestions, and a postponement of the draft, untill an effort is made to fill the quota by volunteers Having no other method of bringing our grievances to the notice of the War Dpt.

Treasury Department, Third Auditor's Office, 7th of Sept. 1864. Dear Governor I revere the Sacred Scriptures, and from that blessed book we are taught to "ask largely that our Joys may be Full" And as you have always kindly and cheerfully granted all in your power to aid your friends I come once more to ask a special favor and one if granted promises success, and if I could be successful, would put me in just such a position as I desire: and one to which I am vain enough to believe that I am peculiarly, and especially, adapted. And as My present Salary is not sufficient to meet my current expenses you see it would be to me a perfect "God send". Will you Gov. be kind enough to write me a good strong letter of recommendation to Secretary Fessenden recommending me as suitable and well qualified for the duties of "Revenue Agent" under the 4th Section of the Revenue law of June 1864 <hr /> The duties are about similar to that of a Special Mail Agent, This section defines the duties as follows Viz: "To aid in prevention, detection and punishments of frauds" upon the collections of Revenue &c. It will require extensive travel and require active movements, energy & and tact, being much abroad amongst the people all of which I can do and do effectually. If this appointment could be, as I hope to have it done urged and urged strongly upon the Secretary I could the sooner carry out my desire as expressed in a letter to you not long since to return to Illinois and cooperate with my friends in the comeing political contests. Now Gov. help me if you please say as much as your tender conscience will allow you to say in my behalf and I assure you if you will do me this one more favor I will never forget your kindness to me and in the comeing future I shall hold myself under deep obligations untill it is fully reciprocated Please enclosed the Secy. letter to me and I will place it on file with others received and comeing and hand them all in in order.
