Aurora Augt 13th 1861 Dear Gov The bearer Maj N Grensel of the 7th Regt of Mo: Volunteers is the Officer I spoke of to you about when down last week. He is the unanimous choice of the Fox River Regiment for their Col. And is also the choice of all of our people here. This will be a Model Regt and as Grensel is a citizen here we are all very anxious for his appointment. He reported the Regiment to Genl Fremont and has received permission to drill his Regiment for thirty days at this place. He was examined in St Louis as to his qualifications and passed. Now what we wish is for you to give him his commission as Col. and transfer him from the 7th Regt to this., or if necessary will resign his commission as to the 7th and come to this. As I informed you Cook will not like to spare him. But the public service ought to be cared for first. This Regiment consists of 10 companies of infantry and two of cavalry. The clothing camp equipage arms & are all on the way. And they are to <hr /> mustered into service of the U S on Monday next by Capt Webb. Who is furnishing the equipment. The Col presents this in person as he is very anxious to return as soon as possible as he ought to be on the ground now all the time.

Carrollton Ill., Aug. 13, 1861. Hon. Richard Yates, Springfield, Ill: Dear Sir: In common, doubtless, with a host of others who may be troubling you in a similar manner, I have a desire to "go to the wars," if it can be so arranged. You know my situation here, conducting a Republican paper in this "Gibraltar of Democracy." Whether I have done my country and the party any service, is not for me to say, but this I may say with truth - that I have stemmed the current as long as it seems possible to do in the present condition of business, and I must, in justice <hr /> to myself, and as a matter of dire necessity, suspend publication for a time. But I want to go out of the citadel "with colors flying," so as to give as little cause as possible for rejoicing to "mine enemies." If I can get an appointment of some kind, which will give a decent support for myself and family, I can suspend operations here with good grace, and resume hereafter, when my services may be needed more than now. I make application to you for no particular office, but throw myself upon your kindness, to do for me what you can. As you are aware, I have been a Civil Engineer, and am not unused <hr /> to camp life, though I lay no claim to military knowledge. Perhaps, in the organization of the new Regiment from Macoupin, Greene, &c., a place may be found for me as Quartermaster, or something of that nature, or you may be able to bestow me somewhere else in a position suited to my capacity. I rest the matter with your judgment and kind favor. Please answer, if you can offer any encouragement, and if my presence in Springfield is desirable in effecting the arrangement, I will come at any time. Very Respectfully and Truly Yours, S. P.

B.F. Cordies & Macy, Stationers 31 Nassau St. N.Y. John A. Chesnut. A.McKim Dubois. Chestnut & Dubois, Bankers Carlinville, Ills August 14 1861 Govr. Yates Springfield Ills Dear Sir Col. Jno Logan of Macoupin County, and J W Ross of Morgan County, with both of whom doubtless you are acquainted, propose to raise an independent regiment from this Congressional District, and to tender their services for the war --- I have known both these Gentlemen well, for at least twenty five years, and think I can say that matters of this kind committed to their charge, will be as zealously and as well managed, as they would be by others who have had no larger military experience. If in consonance with your views of duty & the necessities of the service you can further their plans, you will gratify not only these gentlemen, but many others who in devotion to the cause of the Country, desire to enter the service under their lead--- I trust that you may feel yourself authorized at least to give encouragement to their enterprise – Very respy yr [illegible] A McKim Dubois <hr /> File simply Status The current transcription status of a document or a page.
