Confidential Centralia. Marion Co. Ill. Nov. 2nd/61 Gov. R. Gates Dear Sir. I have just returned from McLeansboro where I found a part of a company of good Union men organized and think they will report a full company in course of two weeks. (Wm Reavis Capt.) and they desire to be attached to my Regiment. Capt. Reavis tells me the company had been calculating to go into camp at Shawneetown, but had no particular regiment to be attached to. I also learned at McLeansboro, that four companies were organized for Floyd Crouch's regiment, who has now gone to Springfield to get an appointment as Col. Crouch was among the number who were arrested last week, and taken to Shawneetown. I am told on good authority, that he is a member of the order of "K. G. C.'s" and is one of their leaders. A 'gentleman (Mr Moran of Chicago) who was in McLeansboro on business, stated to me yesterday, that one of Crouch's captains told him (Moran) the day before, that he would have no <hr /> d-d Lincolnite in his company, and would receive no one but those belonging to the "K. G. C's." Union men are under the necessity of being cautious in their movements. Capt. Reavis says he has been threatened for expressing union Sentiments. I find it impossible to send many men to camp until after election, which takes place next tuesday. I shall probably send three companies into Camp the last of next week, and other companies will follow soon. Very Respectfully, Your ob'dt Serv't P. Pease P.S.

Needs Review Transcription A written representation of a document or a page. Cheney House Friday Nov 1st 1861 Hon. R. Yates [Present?] Dear Sir! I was very sorry to learn this morning, that you had had a relapse and could receive no visitors. I trust that the unfortunate accident will not prove to be a serious one and for the interest if the people of the State I hope for your speedy recovery. Gen. Mather has had no communication from Gen. Sherman. So we are entirely in the dark in regard to this matter. I saw some of the officers of the Hecker Regiment. They of course tell their own story. I do not impeach the integrity of all of the officers, but certainly the proof is extant, that some of them are mere loafers. The majority are willing to resign, if Col. Hecker will set them right before <hr />the Public in regard to their honor. Some are willing to leave the Regiment, if they can take their companies with them, which of course would break up the 24th of Ill. Volunteers. I am acting in this whole matter out of a very deep sense of duty to an old and tried friend, who bears one the most resplendent names in the annals of the German Nation. I am not well enough informed in regard to the difficulties in the Regiment, to be able, to give any advice and counsel as to the best course to be pursued. Col. Hecker may have committed errors, he even may have sinned against the Army Regulations, although I am inclined to think he did not; I do not know what errors he committed, neither am I here to palliate them, but I will vouch for the purity of his motives and his ardent patriotism. He is not the man to say behind the back of any man, what <hr />he would not say to his face -- there may be an error there in these times, but I am more inclined to respect and like such a character, than to blame him. I do not know, what you may have to do in this unpleasant affair, as Gen. Shermans communication has not yet been received. I know you never prejudge a man and the "audiatur et altera pars" forms to my judgment a trait of your character. All I want to know to-day is, if I shall send Col. Hecker on to Springfield, in order to lay his grievances before you; the complaints of the officers you will certainly learn before his arrival. The question of the difficulties in the 24th Regiment is a serious one. The German press, East, West, and North unanimously side with the old leader. His past services to the <hr />Republican party, his gallant campaign in 1856 as an elector at large, his efforts last year for you ad Mr Lincoln are not yet forgotten. All I ask for him is fair hearing and I hope Gen. Mather will bring me word from you, if he shall come or not. I hope you excuse the trouble I cause. I am already under obligations to you, but I hope there may be a time, when, although in a humble way I may be able to show to you that I am truly your friend Caspar Butz. In haste.
