I think you then stated to me, that you did not want men already raised, but wanted to recruit them yourself. You finally agreed however that if the Phalanx could be had, you would take it.

Fremont, requesting him to let you have the Phalanx, which he did. You did not, as I remember, claim to be a Brigadier General.

Executive Department. Springfield Ills. Feby 3. 1862 Hon. Wm A. Hacker President of the Constitutional Convintion. In answer to your Resolution of the 23rd January ult, requesting the Governor to communicate to your Honorable body "any information in his possession, respecting the disposition of a certain suit at law pending in 1859, wherein W.H. Swift of Boston was plaintiff, and David Leavitt defendant, in relation to the Canal loan of $1.600.000, and the commission of $40.000 allowed said Leavitt thereon"; I have the honor to state, that all the information, I have as to the disposition of said suit, is in a pamphlet denominated "Circular No 14, being for the year ending November 30th 1861" &c, and "published by order of the Board of Trustees of the Illinois and Michigan Canal for the information of the Subscribers to the loan of $1.600.000 and the holders of Canal Bonds, registered under the law of February 1843." <hr /> (Copy) The portion of said Circular, which refers especially to the disposition of said suit, will be found on page 12, and is as follows, "The Claim of David Leavitt of $40.000: the history of which is set forth in the Fourteenth Annual Report of the Board of Trustees for the year ending Nov. 30. 1858, is still pending. By agreement of parties and under an order of the Supreme Court of Massachusetts, where the suit was entered, the case is to be placed in the hands of two arbitrators for settlement, with power to call in an umpire in case of disagreement in opinion. It is understood that the arguments are now so nearly completed, that the case may be expected to be submitted to the Arbitrators within the next ninety days" I herewith transmit to you a copy of said Circular No 14, above referred to.

Needs Review Transcription A written representation of a document or a page. Philadelphia Februay 4th 1862 Dear Governor, I arrived here on Monday morning after leaving Springfield Friday night. I was detained in Pittsburgh on account of missing the train. I should have been here Sunday Evening. I called immediately on Mr Sarmiento &Co. and showed them the sample of the goods I brot with me from Govr Wood. I [tried?] the Goods they have on hand and are making and have been making for some days are in every respect as to workmanship, materials and trimmings equal and I think superior to the Samples I left with them from Col & Hopkins. It is a mystery to them all how they came to buy the goods out of which the garments were made that were sent West. They all insist that the goods that had not been examined when I left Springfield will turn out better than those that were rejected and that there ought not to be any trouble in passing inspection with the great majority of the goods they have sent. Mr. Sarmiento telegraphed Govr Wood to day to examine the balance and that any garment that was inferior to the Cole & Hopkins sample to box them up and store them subject to their order. These parties all seem to be very sorry about the whole thing and insist that hey do not wish Govr Wood to ask to have one single inferior garment of theirs passed out to the Government or Illinois <hr /> soldiers. Dr Filbert Mr Simons and in fact the whole of these gentlemen feel for you personally in the matter of assuming the difference for the State of Ills. between the Govt price and their contract price. They send to Washington to night to have the Quarter Master Genl. order them to deliver their goods on these contracts to the Government Inspector and store keepers here waiving the difference between Ills goods and regular Army goods. In fact they are very willing to have the contract changed and the quatity of the good reduced to Army stands only and Army prices as fixed for you by General Meigs. I shall remain here until they return from Washington and Know the result, in the event the make the change, tho State will not have to pay the difference on more than about one hundred thousands Dollars worth of goods. Which will about consume the goods equal to Sample already made and now cut out and in hands for completion I feel very certain that they will be able to effect this arrangement at Washington. Illinois will loose the difference when Soldiers between extra good clothing and Army clothing, but your enemies who have pursued you with their hellish designs, will have lent there occupation <pre>or flimsy excuse for their abuses. I will </pre> <hr /> write you again to morrow. They said they would write Govr Wood in their Dispatch to him. But I told Mr S. that I was writing to you and I would request you to show this to Govr Wood and when they Know more of their success in the Washington matter they will write to Govr Wood and also send some one to Springfield to look after the goods that are rejected.
