Munificent Gift for the support of the War --- Correspondence Between Governor Yates and the Donor. Executive Department. Springfield, Ill., August 11, 1862 Editors Journal: I hand you herewith, for publication, a letter I received some days since from Samuel Fosdick, Esq., of Cincinnati, Ohio. It speaks for itself, and although evidently not intended for the public eye, I cannot refrain from giving it publicity, as an example worthy of all commendation. While it expresses the spirit of determination in the hearts of the people, at this time, it is an exhibition of patriotic benevolence, that will cheer and encourage our brave soldiers on their long marches, away form kindred and home. They will see that there are those who think of their wants, and who will provide for them and their families. All honor to the noble hearted men of our land who meet the demands upon their resources with an open hand. Their deeds follow them - the prayer of the widor and the fatherless, and the suffering will follow them; and Heaven will bless them in basket and in store. RICHARD YATES, Governor of Illinois CINCINNATI, July 31, 1862. Hon. Richard Yates, Governor of Illinois: SIR: To aid in this crisis in the affairs of our Government, I will enclose you a check for five hundred dollars, not knowing any one in authority whose views of the mode to subjugate traitors coincide so entirely with my own as yours do, as expressed in your letter to President Lincoln of the 11th inst. On the other hand, my convictions are strong that the policy heretofore pursued if persisted in, can only end in the destruction of the Government. The check I send please use in aid of those patriotic citizens who are willing to imperil their lives in sustaining the institutions of our country, if you are satisfied that the measures the crisis demands are about being inaugurated, such as will accomplish the desired end, otherwise appropriate the money for the comfort of any of the numerous fatherless children this fiendish rebellion has already made in our land. Respectfully yours, [Signed] SAM'L FOSDICK. <hr /> REPLY OF GOVERNOR YATES. STATE OF ILLINOIS, EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, SPRINGFIELD, AUGUST 11, 1862 Sam'l Fosdick, Esq., Cincinnati, O.: MY DEAR SIR: I acknowledge with much pleasure the receipt of your letter of the 31st ult., enclosing a draft for five hundred dollars to be expended by me in behalf of those "who are willing to imperil their lives in the defense of their country," or for "the comfort of the many fatherless children this fiendish rebellion has already made in the land." I have received many letters from my fellow-citizens approving my course, and indorsing the policy I have from time to time set forth as the true one, for the conduct of the war; but never before had the honor of receiving a testimonial, at once so gratifying, so disinterested, and so substantial, as this. Coming as it does from an entire stranger, I beg to assure you, that I appreciate all the more highly, the generosity and patriotism, as well as the benevolent motives, which prompted the gift. I accept the trust, and will see that it is faithfully executed. The time for dallying is passed - the time for action, resolute and determined has come. The people say in their majesty, this infernal rebellion, the offspring of crime and corruption must be put down. They want no more stopping to consider whether it is unconstitutional or not to defend and support the Constitution. They want the land purged of treason and traitors; and that quickly - using all lawful means. I have an abiding faith in the strength of their purpose, in the sacredness of our cause, and in the sure triumph of the only government on earth that gives hope to liberty, fraternity and equality -- those grand principles of constitutional freedom, that must stand forever. With highest respect, I am very truly, & c., RICH D YATES, Governor of Illinois. Status The current transcription status of a document or a page.

Camp Near Corinth Mass Aug. 10th. 1862. Gov Yates Dear sir. Your favor came duly to hand for which I am under great obligations to you. I went to see the Quartermaster and the Paymaster at Corinth, but they were both gone. The Quartermasters office is in St. Louis. My friends think I had better get you to procure my discharge, and give me a position in some of the new regiments that are being formed in Illinois. Our Major advised me to write to you, and procure a position if it could be done. I have two reasons that prompt me to seek a position at this time. One is my circumstances require that I should hold a position that will pay me more <hr /> than a privates pay. The other is on account of a mercurial affection of the limbs. I do not believe I will be able to march and carry, knapsack, gun and other accoutrements a soldier has to carry again. I would accept of a Lieut. Cols. or Majors position, or a Lieutenancy, in some Company. I would not seek any position, if I thought I was not competent to fill it. Our regiment I understand has been changed to the 66th Illinois. If true, there will probably be some vacancies in it soon, but, if anything can be accomplished would rather not wait. Could send recommendations from here, but deem it unnecessary, as the one I sent you is sufficient. If it is not too late, would like a position in Col. [Gwinips?] regiment at Mattoon, as I am well acquainted with the Col. <hr /> I am still anxious to serve my country in some capacity until the rebellion is put down. I have been in the service one year lacking one month, was at the battle of Mount Zion, Fort Donelson, Shiloh, and in the advancement on Corinth. May age and experiences induces me to aspire for something better than the position I have been filling, not that I am above filling the place of private for I think it an honorable position. The above I submit for your worthy consideration. Very Respectfully Yours Gilead Shaw I belong to Co. E. W.S.S. 14th Mo. Vols. <hr /> 14th Mo. Vols.
