With O. Waters 7/19/62 Bloomington July 19, 1862 Hon. Richard Yates, Gov. of Ill. Dear Sir I would like the office of Government tax collector for this district. I think Capt. Shannon spoke to you on Thursday night in reference to my fitness for the office. I am forty seven years of age, was brought up a farmer in the state of N Y. Taught school several years then engaged in the drug and medicine trade. By steady application to business I accumulated property to the value of about thirty thousand dollars. I have a trustworthy foreman who can manage all my present interests, having me at liberty to devote my whole attention to the office I solicit. I have had dealings nearly all over the state and my extensive acquaintance in other counties would assist me <hr /> greatly in making subdivision appointments. I have never before offered myself for office and never accepted an office of profit to the value of once cent. I have formerly had to look after too many mixed private interests and I want no office unless the public want me. I enclose a line from a few of our citizens whom I thought you would likely be acquainted with. I find Tho. Bunn of this place had been around with a paper before me and got many important names. Bunn is a young man, has failed in trade once and has not recovered so as to pay his debts. The citizens did not recommend his ability to give security and say he has no chance for the office. I learn he & Peter Fulsom are going to Washington to solicit the two offices of Col. and assessor. If after considering my fitness for the office you will recommend my appointment to this office or other valuable home position you will confer a great favor on <hr /> me and I hope on the Public. If you can not, you will not incur my disfavor for I know you will act conscientiously in the matter for the public good. If you recommend my appointment it may be wise to send on the enclosed certificate. I have long desired the passage of the confiscation bill and anticipated favourable results whenever it can be enforced. I was a Democrat until 1854 and was one of the first sixteen who inaugurated the Republican party in Bloomington. I feel assured its principles will yet triumph. Awaiting your action I am yours very respectfully Cyrenius Wakefield <hr /> C.Wakefield Bloomington July 19 Asking recomn for Col.

Union Now and Forever Corinth Miss July 20/62 Dear Governor Be kind enough to consider my name among the numerous applicants to command the new infantry regiments to be raised in our state. I prefer the infantry service to the Cavalry and as I have seen active service I do not know but what you would give me a favorable consideration. Your letter to the President met with a response from every loyal heart. There are now but two parties in [this?] [illegible]. Unconditional union and quasi secessionist. The blow aimed at the enemies of the government should be quick and terrible and every available means should be employed for that purpose. Your letter but reflects the great voice of the people whose Governor you are, and it is well that the President should be reminded that the people want no half way dealings with traitors. If you should think me competent please inform me as soon as practicable that I may prepare. I should be glad to assist in raising the people but my duty is here, and here I shall remain unless you see proper to call me to another branch of service. Yours &c S.D.

Union Now and Forever Corinth Miss July 20/62 Dear Governor Be kind enough to consider my name among the numerous applicants to command the new infantry regiments to be raised in our state. I prefer the infantry service to the Cavalry and as I have seen active service I do not know but what you would give me a favorable consideration. Your letter to the President met with a response from every loyal heart. There are now but two parties in [this?] [illegible]. Unconditional union and quasi secessionist. The blow aimed at the enemies of the government should be quick and terrible and every available means should be employed for that purpose. Your letter but reflects the great voice of the people whose Governor you are, and it is well that the President should be reminded that the people want no half way dealings with traitors. If you should think me competent please inform me as soon as practicable that I may prepare. I should be glad to assist in raising the people but my duty is here, and here I shall remain unless you see proper to call me to another branch of service. Yours &c S.D.
