Private. Chicago - Reeds Temple of Music Feb.20/64 To His Excellency, The Governor Yates, of Illinois. My dear friend, I did not receive your letter inviting me to Springfield etc until some ten more more days, after date. I replied to it at once - and told you, that altho I had been sick for a month, I thought I should be strong enough to do myself the honor of becoming your guest, by Monday, or Tuesday next. Through Mr [name] - or some of his people - I have this moment received another letter from you extending your kind invitation. In the mean while, however, there occurred a vacency in the Editorial Management of the Ch. Journal - and it has been finally arranged that I shall fill it - the stipulation being that I Enter upon my duties on Monday next - 29th inst. I had many doubts in my mind as to whether I could in honor, accept this post, pending the negociations between us. But the fact that my exchequer is low - that I have had no employment for two months - that sickness has entailed <hr /> 2/ a good deal of extra expense upon me leaving me well nigh stranded, and at the mercy of a pitiless sea of troubles - weighed with me so powerfully, that I felt it was my duty to my family take the half loaf, better than no loaf! In some respects, I am personally, sorry, and in others glad, that this office has befallen me. Some how, or other, "but wherefore, I know not", as Hamlet says, I have a most sincere attachment & friendship for you - not only as Governor Yates - our Chief Magistrate - but as Richard Yats, our Chief Man! And if I could have been near you, during the next twelve months, I honestly think & believe, that I could have rendered you much good service. The more so, because I should have worked cheerfully for you, for love, and not for pay; nor would you ever have been wronged or sold by me, as I fear you have been, by those whom, probably, you most confidently trusted. I am no politician; and could never have become such, unless to serve some noble heart whom I loved; and for [them?], I must hide myself in darkness, so that I might not appear in a habitat, which did not belong to my roots & nature. But perhaps, in my own field of Enterprise - if, like most other things, it does not turn out an abortion, and leave me in the cold - I may be able to help your work with my pen in any direction to which I may find you turning; and in <hr /> 3/ that case, you may be sure, that the true fellow will be in your interests, whom neither money, nor office, "nor any other creature," could buy from him allegiance. Now, my dear friend, I hope you will not think that I have done wrong in closing so suddenly, with the Journal folks, when I was more than half in your hands already. But did you ever know what it was to be troubled with the disease of impecuniosity? Dost thou know the value of a dollar? - the sweetness of hard earned bread, when a man is hungry, and when the sweat of a days work hardly gave me Enough to eat? If I perceive any thing like this has been [illegible] - thou wilt not marvel that a man who had nothing to do and whose private fortune on which to live - enough in England - is but the half of the wages of an American Mechanic - should seize upon the first honorable employment which might chance to offer. At any rate I will sincerely ask you to forgive me, if in my eagerness to earn my salt, I have in any way, thwarted your designs - which I heartily hope I have not. And indeed, if after sufficient trial I find this Journal is not my true El Dorado in the West; and you have any post for me, where I can be with you, and genuinely serve you, I should like that better than any thing else; and I beseech you, if you care for true service, and not for lip service, to bethink you whether some such arrangement could not be finally effected between us. Don't think <hr /> 4/ Me conceited, or forward, my dear friend, in making this suggestion. It is some of your own so called friends who have pricked me to it, by their falsehood and double dealing in respect to you. At any rate, and under any circumstances, I am yours devoutly. As to the biography, if you will be so good as furnish me with the papers, and get them properly headed, dated, and numbered as to the pages I will, as soon as possible, work them up into form, and make of them a personal record, which can hardly fail to catch the ears & hearts of your constituents, and of those who love you in the West and East. I cannot now come to Springfield on Monday because I must begin with the Journal on that day; nor am I strong enough to venture upon so long a journey, without taking a day or two's rest between going & returning. These days I cannot now spare - and yet I ought to see you for a few hours. Could you not arrange this - that is, if your anticipated journey should bring you to Chicago? I shall want all the Speeches, Essays, Lectures etc. along with any State papers by you - which you may think it wise & proper to publish. And a short note should be appended to each speech, lecture, Essay & political paper, giving the dates of delivery, and the history of the occasion. All this will be absolutely necessary; <hr /> 5/ And it shall go hard, but I will produce a book not unworthy of our beloved Governor. Please write me - if only one line - in reply. Set my mind at ease as to what I have done in the Journal matter - and if you think I have not acted (considering what you proposed to obtain for me) as I ought to have done - point out the remedy and I will right the unwitting wrong.

Chicago Ill Feb. 25, 1864 Gov. Yates: My Dear Sir, Your kind letter gave me a great deal of pleasure, and its suggestions in regard to preparing myself for the approaching canvass I am already acting upon. I shall be ready to enter the field whenever my friends think it best. Meantime, I am not idle. Quietly I am pushing my claims to a seat in the Senate, and at present have no doubt but I will succeed. I addressed, in company with Senator Ward, a large and spirited meeting in one of my country towns on Monday. I do not pledge myself to any one for Congress; <hr /> but I may say to you that Ward's chances appear to be good. Arnold or Wentworth or Scripps -- I pray not Wentworth -- may beat him; but it don't look that way now. Your prospects I know are good. They are as good, certainly, as those of the Union party. And it does not seem to be doubted by our friends, so far as I know, that we will carry the State. Your late splendid proclamation is having and will continue to have an inspiriting effect. It is motiveal for many stump speeches. Allow me to say to you (all in private!) that you have a most rare and happy faculty of doing exactly the right thing at precisely the right time. <hr /> Some allusion you made in your letter I do not quite understand, but you will make it all clear when you come. When are you coming? There is talk of inviting you here to make a speech before the Union Club. It has a new set of officers, but they are our friends. They are negotiating for a suitable hall, and I do not know when they will be ready to open. My wife desires one to thank you for your picture; it is capital. We are sorry we cannot send you ours for your daughter -- we have none at present. Very truly yours, Francis A. Eastman <hr /> Private Eastman F. A.

Chicago Ill Feb. 25, 1864 Gov. Yates: My Dear Sir, Your kind letter gave me a great deal of pleasure, and its suggestions in regard to preparing myself for the approaching canvass I am already acting upon. I shall be ready to enter the field whenever my friends think it best. Meantime, I am not idle. Quietly I am pushing my claims to a seat in the Senate, and at present have no doubt but I will succeed. I addressed, in company with Senator Ward, a large and spirited meeting in one of my country towns on Monday. I do not pledge myself to any one for Congress; <hr /> but I may say to you that Ward's chances appear to be good. Arnold or Wentworth or Scripps -- I pray not Wentworth -- may beat him; but it don't look that way now. Your prospects I know are good. They are as good, certainly, as those of the Union party. And it does not seem to be doubted by our friends, so far as I know, that we will carry the State. Your late splendid proclamation is having and will continue to have an inspiriting effect. It is motiveal for many stump speeches. Allow me to say to you (all in private!) that you have a most rare and happy faculty of doing exactly the right thing at precisely the right time. <hr /> Some allusion you made in your letter I do not quite understand, but you will make it all clear when you come. When are you coming? There is talk of inviting you here to make a speech before the Union Club. It has a new set of officers, but they are our friends. They are negotiating for a suitable hall, and I do not know when they will be ready to open. My wife desires one to thank you for your picture; it is capital. We are sorry we cannot send you ours for your daughter -- we have none at present. Very truly yours, Francis A. Eastman <hr /> Private Eastman F. A. Chicago Feby 25 1864 Has received Governors letter will be ready for the field whenever his friends think best. He is not idle and is pushing his claims for a seat on the Senate. &c &c File Private Executive Office Feby 27 64 Status The current transcription status of a document or a page.

I take present opportunity of writing to you the circumstances which has happened since my husband return home from the army on a furlow of 30 day; When he first came home; he was very kink to me. But by persusuion of his folks we think so; by circumstances that which sins happened, and by their own talk; They commenced their scandilizing talk to him about me; saying they could not bemean me enough; his father telling him to get a bill from me, and take my darling children from my bosom. My little daughter which is almost twelve year old. She listened to this cruel talk, till it <hr /> seemed that her heart would brake in pieces at the thoughts of being torn from her dear mother. With bitter anguish she came to me; to relate her sad story; she was so overcome with grief mingled with fear; All she could say was placing her delicate arms around my neck; eyes filled with tears; and with great emotion that would melt a mountain of stone; saying mother would to God; that I had died before I had seen such troubles as this. I want God to kill me: O!Mother I want to die! Mother I want to tell you; but I cant; I am afraid too. with such expressions ringing her with bitter anguish at the same time; After Mrs Weeds and my own persuasion to <hr /> relate the sad story to us. Trying to choke down her tears; She said: those cruel folks are setting Pa! against you telling him storys on you; and making all sorts of fun of you; and saying nothing was to bad for you; and grandpas telling him to get bill from you telling him he he was a fool for ever living with you again, saying he would help him if he would do so and urging him on; My feeling better imaging than described.
