Ottawa July 7th 1864 Governor Yates Dear Sir At the risk of wearing out even your patience, I take the liberty of asking one more kindness from you---only one, the last of all. It is this. That if you see no objection (there may be some that I am not acquainted with) you will request President Lincoln to issue an order to the Reviewing Authorities of the Deptment of the Ohio, that they shall, in case their decision is adverse to my husband, send the Record to him, and stay proceedings until further orders. The President knows about the case from Judge Norton---our personal friend as well as Representative, and promised Judge Norton "most cheerfully" before the adjournment of Congress, that he would take this very action if necessary. The Record has now been in the hands of the reviewing Authorities about ten days. Judge Norton is about writing to claim the fulfillment of the President's promise, and what I am anxious for, is, your endorsement also, of the request.

Toulon Stark Co. Ill. July 8. 1864. Dear Governor, Your Kind letter of the 5th inst. is received, and I thank you sincerely for it. The interest thus manifested in my behalf, as well as the friendship you have ever shown me is very gratified to my feelings. I have mingled so little with the people Since I came home, that I really cannot give an intelligent Answer, as to the political prospects in this section. From conversations, however, with friends in this county, I should say every thing is hopeful here, and that the prospects are very good for Mr. Lincoln, and the Union State ticket. I suppose this Representative District is doubtful, and Unless Stark County can again overbalance the Democratic Majority of Peoria County Democratic Members will if course be Elected. The Peoria Men have never worked as they ought to have done. there has not been that Unity of purpose and Action Among them, necessary to success. They have relied upon Stark County to carry them through, and she has usually done it. And latterly Some of them have been abusing better Men than themselves, And those who have Contributed quite as Much to the general Success in the District, if not a great deal more than they Ever did or Could. But I hope that Representatives May be elected in this District, favorable to you, And any thing I can do in that direction, I will do with a great deal of pleasure. <hr /> I would be very glad indeed to see you in the U. S. Senate. I presumed, however, I shall hardly be able to render you much Service, as I propose to Start back to My Regiment next week. My wound has got nearly well, though I am a little lame yet, and it will perhaps be Some time before the Muscles of the leg affected, entirely recover. They are now Weak and Somewhat Contracted, but my Leave of absence has already Expired, and I feel that I ought to be going back. If I can Serve you in any way at any time by letter or otherwise, do not hesitate to command me. The People of this County will be glad to see you here during the Canvass, And I hope you will come. As to my promotion I hardly expect it and I almost regret that you wrote to Mr. Lincoln upon the subject for inasmuch as he has been Solicited to promote Me, I feel an anxiety upon the Subject, I would not otherwise have felt. I am frequently asked, why I have not been promoted, by those who have Known of my devotion to Mr. Lincoln, And who perhaps think that personal and political considerations control these Matters. And I am Satisfied that the impression has been Made that I am not in "good Standing" with the President or I would have been promoted. as well as Some others, And for these reasons, More especially, I would be glad to be promoted. but I shall not be disappointed if I am not I thank you for the Photographs you Enclosed <hr /> me, and as Requested I Enclosed Mine for your Daughter's Album.

Truly yours, Geo I Bergen <hr /> Bergen George I Galesburgh July 13 1864 He found John Miles of Warren County, took dinner with him - He is a strong friend of Gen Hardings and a very influential man in Warren County - Was a little enclined towards W - but findly said no man could go to Legislature from Warren Co unless he is pledged to support Yates - His P.O. is at Galesburgh take names & hand them to me copied name on list as directed July 18th Snyder A.D.C. file (senatorial) Status The current transcription status of a document or a page.

Belleville July 22". 1864 Gov Richd Yates Dear Sir Your letter of the 16th inst came to hand yesterday. The idea comes into my mind that you may possibly have confounded me with my brother Col John Thomas who has twice been a member of the Legislature and was lately a delegate to the Baltimore Convention. I have however been Clerk of the Circuit Court for the last twelve years and of course must have some friends or I could not have held that office in this County for so long a time and with largely increased majorities at each election. My brother and myself are however a unit in political sentiments - both being of the ultra radical stamp. I hope you will not consider the foregoing egotistical The explanation is given simply because it is a fact and we wish to preserve our individual identity and that our friends may known - which is which I have carefully reflected upon the very important suggestions contained in your letter and am prepared to answer them by giving you some facts and my opinion It is true that the diversion in favor of Fremont amongst the Germans here is very considerable but it has not yet taken permanent shape or organization and we are trying to prevent any organization of that kind. But our remedy is <hr /> not denunciation but kindness and conciliation and such little articles as the enclosed which I wrote and had translated and had published in the German paper yesterday as well as in the English this morning and I am told that it is having (as insignificant an article as it is) a very soothing effect upon them they believing it to have been written in a spirit of kindness and patriotism. Myself in conjunction with others have been for the last year concentrating to the best of our ability public sentiment in our County in favor of Dick Yates for U S Senator and as a result I can say that I believe that almost every Fremonter in our County as well as other radicals are for you for that position We believe the Fremonters will vote with us for our Representatives - but we have fears about being able to get them on to the nominee for Senator Mr Metcalf Like many other men Metcalf said some very foolish things about the Germans some years ago which they remember and I believe that nothing unless it is their desire for your success will get them on to him - and you will have to give us your personal aid in this work The Germans at Highland in Madison County are ditto I know from having been there expressly to ascertain their views. They are also generally for Fremont at Highland We have been thinking about a ratification meeting but have nearly concluded not to have it until after the Chicago Convention - believing that the <hr /> German Fremonts after finding that their favorite is not nominated there and will have no chance of success will almost all go with us for Uncle Abe for they still have an utter horror and disgust of Copperheads and Copperheadism and they will then have an excuse for droping Fremont. And you know when men have taken a position they want an excuse for changing. We must therefore be patient with our friends We now think of holding a Mass ratification meeting on the first or second Saturday of September of which we will give you due notice and you and Oglesby and Moulton must be here In the mean time you could do a great deal of good by quietly visiting us any time between now and the middle of August without any previous public notice - Simply telegraphing from St Louis that you would be out that evening in the Cars which leave East St Louis at about half past five O'clock We would fill the Court House and you would rub off some of the rough corners of the opposition to Old Abe by telling our friends that although he may not have done everything to suit us all (who could in such times) yet he has done so many good things that we must not allow our feelings against him for one or two mistakes to cause us to so act as to benefit the Copperheads and consequently to the injury of our Country When we receive your dispatch from St Louis we will give out that you are there on business and <hr /> will be over here that evening to give us a talk. I attach considerable importance to this little matter as I know it will greatly aid in preparing the Fremonters to join us in the ratification and go with us on the whole ticket I say in frankness that I am and have been for two years past for you for U S Senator and although I shall not be a candidate for reelection or for any other office yet I shall as heretofore spend my money and time freely for the success of so glorious a cause as we are engaged in We are now circulating a number of the Chicago German Union paper amongst our Fremonters. Our German paper here has not yet hoisted the name of either Lincoln or Fremont and it is dificult to get it to publish communications in favor of Lincoln But I have strong hopes that all will be right in the end I shall be extremely happy to hear from you whenever you have any suggestions to make that you think would be of advantage to the cause either as policy or anything else And believe me My dear Sir to be Most Sincerely Your Friend And Obt Servt Wm S Thomas <hr /> Thomas Wm S.

Public sentiment in that County are in favor of Dick Yates for Senator and almost every Fremonter are for Governor for that position, Wishes Governor to make an appointment to be there about middle of August, suggests that he telegraph from St Louis that he will be there on business, they can fill the Court House and the Gov can rub off some of the rough corners of the oppasition to Old Abe - &c &c, File Dec 10 Status The current transcription status of a document or a page.

Oregon Ogle Co Illinois July 23rd 1864 Hon Richd Yates Gov Ills. My Dear Sir Your esteemed favor of the present month enclosing photographs is received. Please accept the thanks of myself and family. I am gratefull to you for the kind feelings expressed in your letter. I am home only from a sense of duty to my loved ones and creditors. I bring with me a conciousness that while in the army I served the country honestly and faithfully. Misfortunes in business have pressed hard upon me since 1857 and I am anxious to so arrange my affairs now as to again offer my services to the country I love. My health is considerable impaired but I think I can yet endure active duty. I learned before leaving the army that you would probably be sent to the senate. I need not assure you that it will give me great pleasure to aid you all in my power thus serving our noble cause. We need in our congress - especially at this time true and tried men - Men of real worth - Men who dare do right. Men who embracing the truth <hr /> dare declare the same whether it be popular or not. We want leaders - for servants of the people - Men of thought & action. When a "Whig boy" I read your speeches and have watched you with increasing interest since. I regard you as a fearless champion of truth & liberty - as such I support you. I need scarcely tell you that I have been greatly disgusted with our present congress. There has been a want of honest action & of determined effort. There has been but a slight exhibition of that lofty patriotism which in an hour of trial like the present, overlooks self and sacrifices all personal interests for the good of the nation. In this time of peril we need men who care little for present honor but who seizing the great events of the hour control them under the Providence of God, to the permanent good of the country & to the blessing of the world. Men who shall act - not for self alone, but for generations yet unborn. Cotton I believe it is who says - "He who can only control circumstances, must yield to him who can both make and control." O how I have longed to see in our congress a brave, fearless man with moral courage to proclaim the truth and to lead the way in rescueing our country and saving our fair heritage. I tell you if we had <hr /> have been blessed with proper legislation or with no legislation at all - this rebellion would have been crushed long ere this. And now after three years of toil & sacrifice - it is not in the power of the government to replenish its wasted armies readily owing to the acts of our legislators. I pray God may impart unto us a nation nerve & moral courage to rise above the circumstances that surround us and meet like men the Responsibilities of the hour. I shall cheerfully & earnestly support you for the Senate. If I should not return to the army, it is my intention to speak in every township of this County during the fall. Among your warm friends here is Mr Petrie - my father in law. Also Hon J C Gale. Let me suggest that you place little reliance upon the professions res collectors in this Congressional District.

In the Field. Ga, Near Atlanta Hd Qrs 112th Ill. Vols July 1864 His Excellency Richard Yates Governor of Illinois Sir The undersigned officers of Illinois Regiments now serving in the Department of the Ohio disclaiming any desire to interfere with your privileges as Governor or any intention to doubt your patriotism, or watchful care for the interests of our soldiers in the field, beg respectfully to submit for the consideration of your Excellency, the following considerations touching the disposition to be made of the troops about to be raised in our State under the late call of the President It seems to us that it is all important that the new troops should be so disposed of as to make them available at the earliest practicable moment, our Country needs men at once. Will it be wise to organize as is being done in some States, new Regiments, waste the precious time that will neccessarily be wasted in such organizations, when by assigning these new men to Regiments in the field, you place them under officers of experience, and at once surround them with experienced comrades who can teach them how to cook, sleep, march and fight, whilst you strenghthen <hr /> and encourage the veteran soldiers by filling the broken ranks of his Regiment As you are aware the Illinois Regiments now in the field, are very much depleted, the Veteran Regiments added to the depletion caused by the accidents of the service, those of their original members who did not re-enlist They appeal to you, to whom they have never appealed in vain, to give them the physical strength that they may strike more crushing blows for our Country arround whose altar so many of their comrades---Illinois sons have fallen.

In the Field. Ga, Near Atlanta Hd Qrs 112th Ill. Vols July 1864 His Excellency Richard Yates Governor of Illinois Sir The undersigned officers of Illinois Regiments now serving in the Department of the Ohio disclaiming any desire to interfere with your privileges as Governor or any intention to doubt your patriotism, or watchful care for the interests of our soldiers in the field, beg respectfully to submit for the consideration of your Excellency, the following considerations touching the disposition to be made of the troops about to be raised in our State under the late call of the President It seems to us that it is all important that the new troops should be so disposed of as to make them available at the earliest practicable moment, our Country needs men at once. Will it be wise to organize as is being done in some States, new Regiments, waste the precious time that will neccessarily be wasted in such organizations, when by assigning these new men to Regiments in the field, you place them under officers of experience, and at once surround them with experienced comrades who can teach them how to cook, sleep, march and fight, whilst you strenghthen <hr /> and encourage the veteran soldiers by filling the broken ranks of his Regiment As you are aware the Illinois Regiments now in the field, are very much depleted, the Veteran Regiments added to the depletion caused by the accidents of the service, those of their original members who did not re-enlist They appeal to you, to whom they have never appealed in vain, to give them the physical strength that they may strike more crushing blows for our Country arround whose altar so many of their comrades---Illinois sons have fallen.
