He had refused to commence against you from kindly feeling, but had kept Taylor from going to any one else until he could see me. Taylor was not willing to confer upon him power to settle beyond a certain limit; and up to this point he was willing to go. After finding that I could do no better and after consulting with Farrell, I concluded to close the matter by dividing taking $5 and giving $5.

Mt Liberty Ohio Jan 18th 1864 His Excellency Michael Yates, Gov. of Ill. Honorable Sir Your kindness I feel assured will prompt you to pardon me for encrouching upon your valuable time. Dear Sir, I am in great perplexity & distress and I implore your assistance. I wish to learn something in reference to the whereabouts of my husband Thomas Milligan. You are personally acquainted with I think. He has been engaged in recruiting & arresting deserters in Ill since June last under orders; I suppose from Springfield as he took his recruits to Camp Butler. In November he wrote me from Camp Douglas stating he had arrived there a week previous and had been immediately detailed to sit on a general court martial then in session. He expected to be relieved in a few days and should then start for Ohio to make us a visit if not prevented by his superiors. He had been recruiting for Gen. Farnsworth who had been authorized to raise several regiments of Cavalry. He also wrote me he should take command of a company or some office under Farnsworth. The last letter I received from him was dated Nov 20th and written at Camp Douglas. Since that time I have heard nothing of him. I have telegraphed to the Commanding Officer at Camp Douglas and have made enquiries in various directions. I [illegible] I entreat your Excellency to assist me. I think I have an idea at least something of an idea of the arduous task your office imposes upon you and believe me if I had known of any other course to pursue that [illegible] [illegible] I should not have troubled you with my grievous tale. Permit me to hear from your Excellency as soon as convenient. Please pardon and overlook my presumption. Yours with high regard Mrs. Thos. Milligan His Excellency Richard Yates, Gov. Milligan.

State of Illinois Executive Department Springfield Jany 7th 1864 Hon J Y Scammon Dear Sir: When I got home, Wednesday 23rd Decr. I found your letter in relation to the report that Mr. Beckwith was to be appointed. The report grew out of no promise or even intimation from me, but from the fact that Judge Caton would resign only upon condition of Mr. Beckwith's appointment. Judge Caton wrote me of date New York Decem 16th, 1863 that he declined any intention to dictate, but that he would give me the opportunity of appointing Mr Beckwith by his resignation tc. I determined to say nothing to any one until I could see Judge Caton in person. I saw the Judge to day-- I found him determined to hold on to the office unless Beckwith was appointed. He said he could not do otherwise -- he felt compelled to hold on unto to the end unless Mr B. was appointed - that such was the only way he could make the resignation satisfactory to his friends, tc After full consultation with our best friends, and the best consideration I could give the subject, I thought it best to accept Catons resignation and give the appointment to Beckwith. I do not want you to feel bad towards me in this matter because I saw I could not get the chance to appoint you -- my refusal to appoint Beckwith would do you no good-- Our friends prefer Beckwith to Caton and have now hope of fairness at his hands. I have only to hope for some opportunity hereafter in some way to show my high appreciation of the great kindness assistance I have received at your hands.
