I suppose this to be complete, & were it not Sunday so that I cannot see the superintendent, I would apply to him for his official certificate to that effect. I suppose the discrepancy between this & the former statement has arisen from the fact that the former statement was not complete & from errors in computation. I do not know that you will <hr /> receive this in time to correct your congressional apportionment, in case any correction should be necessary. The next Congress will be composed of members listed under the census of 1850; & it will not be till after the 4th of March 1863, that those listed on the census of 1860 will be entitled to seats.

Waukegan Ill Feby 2nd 1861 Hon R Yates Dear Sir Your very kind letter came to hand on yesterday. Permit to express my thanks for your very kind offer & for your generous appreciation of my poor services to the cause. Would it be any trespass upon your time & patience, to suggest to me what course I had better pursue, about class or grade of appointment it would be proper for me to apply for, & through what channel I had better make the application &c &c Any suggestions from you will be thankfully received & duly appreciated Since I saw you, I have been confined to the house almost all the time & it is now reduced to a certainty that my health will not sustain the labors of my present position & I will be compelled elsewhere to seek the "bread that perisheth" & to <hr /> relinquish the ministry as my exclusive business & make my labors in that line incidental. This is a very great trial to my feelings for if ever a man loved to preach I do & if I were so situated that I could, I should delight above all things to be instant in season & out of season in preaching to the poor & needy, the destitute & the afflicted, without fee or reward. The mere labor of preaching is not the labor that prostrates my body, but it is the anxieties & mental exercises growing out of my responsibilities as a pastor which so thoroughly uses up my strength My health is sufficient for any business which does not involve this mental anxiety, nor extraordinary physical exertion. I suppose that the Albany Regency will absorb all the foreign consulates that would pay a man for leaving his native shores. But perhaps a subordinate place in some <hr /> of the Departments at Washington or a berth in some of the Land offices of the New States or Territories or an appointment among the other officials of the Territories. I would like something which would enable me to lay up enough in 4 years to start in some business which would bring me a living I have written thus frankly to you, because I felt from the tone of your letter to me, that I could do so without annoying you. With many prayers for the Divine blessing upon you & yours, I remain Your sincere friend James J Ferree <hr /> PS Permit me to congratulate you on your firm adherence to the declarations of your inaugural as indicated in your reported refusal to appoint Commissioners to the Grand Patching convention at Washington on the 4th. My deliberate opinion is that every thing that even squints at concession on our part is widening a chasm that nothing but the blood of our citizens will ever fill up consequently, the more of it the worse it will be for the incoming Administration I think our duty is simply to stand firm JJF <hr /> Rev.

Confidential Washington D C Jany 29th 1861 Hon Richard Yates Springfield Ills Dear Sir: Leaving Springfield on Friday evening last I reached here this morning having been detained twenty nine hours by the reason that there was no train between Saturday night and Monday morning out of Columbus Ohio. I called upon General Scott this morning immediately on my arrival and suggested the importance of having the Arsenal at St Louis defended He informed me that he had ordered one hundred and fifty troops to that point and assured me that he would order fifty more to day He has placed a competent officer in command with instructions to defend it to the last The noble old veteran is pushing forward measures for the defense of the Capitol and said to me that he would defend it successfully or die in the attempt Mr Holt is of the same opinion and were it not for the President they should soon put an end to disunion here <hr /> and elsewhere He said that he would never survive the Union he had fought for fifty years under the stars and stripes and under the same colors he would die The old veteran's eyes flashed like fire when he spoke of disunionists. The devils may well fear him. I have obtained the order from the Ordnance Department for the arms and they will be shipped immediately A part of them will come from the St Louis Arsenal and a part from Harpers Ferry The General will head the troops if any attempt is made to prevent either the counting of the ballots for President or his inaguration The army officers here are true as steel and will do their duty I have also obtained some military works and have ordered them shipped to our place. General Scott advises that the several states should [look?] up their arms and have them taken care of Judge Trumbull thinks matters have about reached their culminating point but he fears that there will be trouble General Scott informed me that he has the best of authority that an attempt will be made by the 4th unless <hr /> the disunionists become frightened at the military preparations The companies of regulars arrived at 11 o clock today and a fine body they are too.

I knowing but little of you, or you of me, as I was quite small when you left Warsaw Ky. and when you were in there with Mr Ellis, in 48 I think, I was East and had not the pleasure of seeing you, but when you learn that I am Willis Peak's second son you will perhaps have some knowledge of me. But I will weary you by causing you to read over so much to find so little and will come at once to the point. I am permanently settled here with my family (a wife and child) came here to engage in my legitimate business Dry goods, but find all kind of business greatly overdone at present and do not feel willing to embark in any branch until I can see a very great change in things. I have been living <hr /> in this county since 54 have only been in the City about a year. I am now quite out of employment, but think that I see where it is in your power to place me in a good situation, which will at least support my family. I refer to our Post Office in this City. The present master who has had it for the past 4 years estimates its value at $1500xx. Mr Vanhorn had the appointment but turned it over to The Foster Bros who have reaped all of the benefit of it, and have forwarded quite a lengthy petition for it again. Both of them are single men, and can live very well without it. I can send a petition with any number of sighners but deem it unnecessary as I know a word from you will do more than all the names I could send. The office I am satisfied would suit me and also that I would render satisfaction to all concerned haveing had some experience in the business. Now Mr Yates, it rest with you, shall I have it or not? I feel entirely confident that your influence would secure it for me beyond a doubt. Will you lend it in my behalf? If so you will confer a favour upon me, and your friends, which will not soon be forgotten. Please let me hear from you soon. Yours Most Respectfully Wm. J.

In the mean time if any thing should re cur "consider me in." I go home to day to attend for the present to my own businefs & propose to let politics alone for at least a few days and while not without anxiety yet with an unshaken faith that you will not falter one moment from duty.

Chicago Jany 24 1861 Dear Governor I was unable to see you last evening before I left and I regret it for I saw Frank Blair about town & felt anxious to learn the news from you about matters in his state. The news this morning I notice looks a little threatening and I hope we shall soon be relieved from this painful anxiety. I find here a letter from my friend Fenn of Boston which has been forwarded from Belvidere to me here. He informs me that he shall be here about the first of March and will then decide the business matters about which we have corresponded. As soon as he decides I will let you <hr /> know definitely. In the mean time if any thing should recur "consider me in." I go home to day to attend for the present to my own business & propose to let politics alone for at least a few days and while not without anxiety yet with an unshaken faith that you will not falter one moment from duty. Before the Legislature adjourns you must have an efficient militia law. Why on earth don't the [illegible] hurry it up. That law should be past without any further delay. Do let me hear from you often. Give my regards to [Mort Carrel?] & believe me Yours Truly Allen C. Fuller P.S. I believe I told you <hr /> that our friend L. S.
