Fairbury Livingston Co Ill July 17 1862 Governor Yates - Dear Sir - As one of the people I take the liberty to thank you for your patriotic address to the President. Unless our rulers are aroused to put forth all the power of the nation at once we are ruined as a nation forever. Mr. Lincoln is a great & good man, but he does not seem to comprehend the awful crisis that is upon the nation. The plain fact is she is even now trembling in the balance between life & death. Yet not one half her powers have been brought into the contest. Mr Lincoln should raise two men where is raising one, and he could & should make ten gun boats where they are now making one. They alone could save us from foreign intervention. But enough of this. Would not a letter from you to some leading man or men in each County, calling upon them as patriots to get the people aroused by public meetings &c have a good influence. It will require some extra exertion for Illinois to raise her quota of the 30000 without drafting. Yet it can be done, and you can do it. Let Illinois keep her present proud position in this contest. But I do not write to advise you on matters that you comprehend better than I,---but to inquire if I could get a Majors commission. I have no military experience. But think that after one month I could satisfy all. And if assured a place that could support my large family, so that I could devote the time, I could do as much as anyone in raising troops in this County. And if any attention is paid to localities the County is entitled to something of <hr /> of the kind for I believe she has nothing higher than a captaincy though she has raised over 500 men. But if the way is not clear for the above, what would you think, of a brigade quartermaster or commissary. Owing to the conditions of my family and financial affairs, I had not felt called upon to enter personally into the service, but it is now different. And if you think I could be of any use anywhere please let me hear from you soon Yours Truly A. J. Cropsey <hr /> Ans.

Quincy Ill July 17 A D 1862 To His Excellency Richard Yates Springfield Ills. Dr Governor. I received this morning your proclamation & letter to the President. I troubled you with a line a day or two ago expressing among other things my gratitude to you for your letter to Mr Lincoln. I noticed in your proclamation that you call for nine regiment of Infantry for three years Service being a part of the quota of this State under the call of the President for 300,000 men. I do not know, but I have heretofore supposed that Illinois, in the comparison with other states and in respect to her due proportion of the whole number of troops raised was ahead. Now Governor, "it doth not appear yet what we Shall be" before this war is over. My examinations and investigations and in this region they have been considerable lead to the conviction that we have about two republican Soldiers in the field to one heretofore democrat. I believe it will hold good in the whole State and in each and every State. I may be very much mistaken but this is my judgment. I fear that those young men of democratic tendency who have thus far kept out of the War, staying at home to vote, will not now come forward to volunteer and that these nine regiments will fall on to the republicans almost alone. - besides as our Governor and our Great Father, you must see to it that young Illinois Shall not [conndined?] in default at least whilst She is really ahead. In point of fact wont these nine new Regiments put Illinois even with her quota including the 300,000: if so you will I doubt not see to it that She is put right on the record - <hr /> If this war is carried on as heretofore by The U States - Whilst Conscription is adopted in the United States, and with the aid of at least the brute force of 4,000,000 of slaves against us - We Shall need some men at home, And being the most exposed of all the States to attack from rebeldom. Let us see that whilst Illinois raises up to her quota that because She is Mr Lincolns State, She is not to be made the pack horse of the war, as to a great extent she has been. I have desired from the first tap of the drum to be in this war - but being Subject to rheumatic attacks and all the ills of bad Kidney, I fear I should get sick and either die in hospital or have to go home. I think I would make a good Colonel, though I know now nothing of Strictly military matters - I am not a candidate and if there is any place where you think I might be useful and better than the man who offers I will try it on. I am only 52 years of age though I am told I look older. We have no news here to day. Yesterday brought us news of an intended veto of the so called [Confiscation?] bill - if so [uncle?] Abe will go into deep deep Water, the great body of the Republicans will be thoroughly down on him, unless he at the same time adopts some more Stringent policy The Dear Democrats will be mad - and were [Dollardayham?] &C I Suspect for the purpose of making him appear a great failure will Charge front and go it for Emancipation May the good God direct Mr Lincoln aright and save our Country Excuse this long and desultory letter & believe me yours very Respectfully Henry Asbury Quincy Ills <hr /> PS Should you have to resort to a draft to raise men here - It will be very important that the parties selected should be reliable honest & impartial - therefore as you are not so well acquainted here as I am I would if you desire it give you Some names of both parties to select from - I do not however now, know how the thing is to be done - If it can be avoided dont let Singleton have anything to do with it unless he is associated with others - H A - <hr /> Henry Asbury Quincy July 17 Ills quota - conduct of the War. - thinks he would do for Colonel &c. drafting &c.

Waverly, Ill July 17th, 1862 Gov. Yates: Dear Sir: This will introduce to your Excellency George W. Rofs, Commissary Sargent of 32nd Regiment Ill Volunteers, and son of Col. John W. Rofs of the same Regiment, who fell at Shiloh. He was sent home, immediately after that battle, more dead than alive, with the prevailing disease of the camps. When Col. Logan was home George visited him and after stating his case was advised by the Colonel to apply for a discharge - the Colonel kindly promising to procure one for <hr /> for him, and telling him to remain at home in the meantime to recruit his health for some other employment.

Needs Review Transcription A written representation of a document or a page. Camp near Harrison's Landing James River Va. July. 17th 1862. To his Excellency Gov Richard Yates Dear Sir. It is now one year since, I entered the service of the United States; as 7th Senior Captain of Col Baxter's Philada Fire Zouaves (72d Regmt [Pa Vols?]) and have been in all the battles in which the Army of the Potomac have been engaged. The slight chance which I have here for promotion (no matter how meritorious) induces me to ask the personal favor, that you will please write to Gov Curtin also to the War Dept to allow me the privilege to proceed to Philadelphia to assist in raising the new Regmts now in formation in that City. As I think from the influence which I can bring <hr /> to bear that I can be elected a Major or Lieut Colonel. Having some experience I feel myself perfectly competent, to fill such a position and certainly more so than a green hand unable to handle a squad of men, much less a battalion. Hoping I do not impose too much on your often expressed desire to serve me. I remain Most Respectfully Your Obt Servant Isaac McBride Cap Co F 72d Regmt P.V. P.S. My address is Isaac McBride Capt Co F. 72d Regmt PV Burn's Brigade Sedgwick's Division Fortress Monroe VA, My respects to Martin H Cassell <hr /> Aug 28 Capt Isaac McBride Co F. 72d Reg. Penn Vols Harrisons Landing July 17. 62 Desires Gov Yates to ask Gov Curtin that he (McB) have permission to go to Philadelphia to assist in organizing a new Reg. Thinks he would be thus enabled to get a Majority or the Lieut Colonelcy. Refer to Gov Curtin with strong endorsement of McBride who resides in Philada – an experienced & capable officer – & would consider personal favor if he would give him chance &c & write McBride I have written.
