This is the unanimous sentiment of the Regiment, and as a Regiment we have so informed our officers.

I had orders from my superiors officers then to enlist men on such conditions, now these men claim that they should be mustered out this 11th oct. as they were deprived the privilege of reenlisting as veterans last winter. if they cannot be mustered out they claim they can make a false enlistment. their papers were made out like all others for three years for we could not and there was no orders to enlist men for less than the above time, only to enlist them as recruits and to be mustered out with the regiments <hr /> Slgle, D H Soldier I have heard that such orders were only applicable to Mass. state troops. if so the men have been wronged hoping that this case may be looked into I close by subscribing myself your most obedient Servant D.

But the cases that I am speaking for are these I enlisted James S. Hendrix and Anthony Farrance <hr /> in aug. 1862. and the conditions that they enlisted. were that they should be mustered out the 11th day of oct. 1864, the time the regiment would of been mustered out had they not reenlisted. I had orders from my superiors officers then to enlist men on such conditions, now these men claim that they should be mustered out this 11th oct. as they were deprived the privilege of reenlisting as veterans last winter. if they cannot be mustered out they claim they can make a false enlistment. their papers were made out like all others for three years for we could not and there was no orders to enlist men for less than the above time, only to enlist them as recruits and to be mustered out with the regiments <hr /> Slgle, D H Soldier I have heard that such orders were only applicable to Mass. state troops. if so the men have been wronged hoping that this case may be looked into I close by subscribing myself your most obedient Servant D.

Quincy Sept 9 1864 His Excellency R. Yates, Gov of the State of Ill My Dear Sir: On my return this morning from the East, where I was for several weeks detained by sickness in my family, I find that your Excellency did me the honor, on the 16th ult. to write me, asking my cooperation in the work of raising a regiment for the defense of the State. So long a time has elapsed since the date of your letter that I probably shall not have the pleasure of aiding in the good work to which you call me & which I regret I was not at home to promptly undertake. Still something may yet remain to be done & I now write to inquire if at this late day I can be of any service & to offer my hearty cooperation. Meanwhile without waiting for a reply I shall immediately consult reliable friends here and engage their cooperation, in the work of <hr /> of securing men, if they should be needed. As you speak of our having "an enemy in our midst, as dangerous as the rebel in open arms", I venture, I hope not presumptuously, to express my own apprehension that the catch words of certain politicians for "a free election or a free fight" are now for the purpose of preparing their followers for a violent & revolutionary assault at the polls on Election day under the pretense that the Government does not intend to allow a free Election. Perhaps these are groundless apprehensions but I cannot dispossess my mind of them, though I have heard of no one expressing similar opinions, I rest however in the hope that so far as our State is concerned, if there is danger, your vigilance and energy will not be at fault. But I fear the National authorities are not awake to the dangers that exist, & that consequences far more serious & lasting than mobs & local emeutes may result. Most Respectfully Yours Geo. J.
