Belleville Sept. 9.1861. Dear Sir I understand that Gov. Hoffman offers to make up another German Regiment. The experience in St. Louis, where Fremont has authorized the making up of several Regiments at the same time has shown the great impropriety of such as course. He has now some ten fragments of Regiments, and not one full yet. He has now issued an order to consolidate them thereby disappointing a great many men, and in fact imposing on some, who enlisted under particular men as officers, who are now thrown out. I would suggest not to commission Gov. Hoffman to raise men, until my Regiment is full. I will get this week two fine Companies from Sigels former Regiment (Illinoisans) who have fought at Carthage & Springfield, but who prefer now to enroll in Illinois. I expect to have at the end of the week some 6 Companies in Camp. I have offers of parts of Companies from various parts of the State but it takes time to consolidate them and fix them up. Direct the Adjutant General to send me a certain number of Passes, the names of Captais to be left blank. I have an immense trouble with the Railroad unless I have such passes. There is no telegraph office open <hr /> here now, and I cannot therefore telegraph for passes. I beg you to attend to this, as it will help me most materially. Yours very truly G Koerner Gov. R.

He has now some ten fragments of Regiments, and not one full yet. He has now issued an order to consolidate them thereby disappointing a great many men, and in fact imposing on some, who enlisted under particular men as officers, who are now thrown out. I would suggest not to commission Gov. Hoffman to raise men, until my Regiment is full. I will get this week two fine Companies from Sigels former Regiment (Illinoisans) who have fought at Carthage & Springfield, but who prefer now to enroll in Illinois. I expect to have at the end of the week some 6 Companies in Camp. I have offers of parts of Companies from various parts of the State but it takes time to consolidate them and fix them up. Direct the Adjutant General to send me a certain number of Passes, the names of Captais to be left blank. I have an immense trouble with the Railroad unless I have such passes. There is no telegraph office open <hr /> here now, and I cannot therefore telegraph for passes. I beg you to attend to this, as it will help me most materially. Yours very truly G Koerner Gov. R.

State of Illinois Executive Department. Springfield Sep 9. 1861 Maj. Gen John C. Fremont Dear Sir. I beg your indulgence to allow me to say a word in regard to Speed Butter at present acting as aid to Genl Pope. Mr. Lincoln, knowing him personally, has appointed him Brigade Commissary with rank of captain-- I very much desire that he shall be permitted to preserve his rank, and if required to do any duty other than that to which he is appointed as for instance Aid to Genl Pope, that you will assign him to such special duty so that he will still retain his rank. I must ask your indulgence for being anxious in this matter and plead as my apology the fact that I regard Mr. Butler as a <hr /> young man of remarkable promise. I entrusted him with a very important mission to the cabinet at Washington which he performed with great ability and promptness. I recommended him to Genl but found that the General had already discovered in him ability of a high order and had determined to place him on his staff. In any enterprise requiring trust, responsibility, prudence, tact, energy and courage I could consider his services invaluable. He is the son of our able State Treasurer and he and myself are especially anxious to secure for him your kind attentions and regards. Should it be inconsistent with your view for him not to retain at least his present rank as Captain, we could take care of him well in this State and secure for him a position much higher than that he now holds, but we feel very anxious that he should be under your direction, if he can have such opportunities of rendering effective service for which we believe he possesses ample qualifications if properly directed & matured.

I now learn through Robert Kirkham that you were under the impression that I had interfered to have Col Sloo appointed over you. Now whoever so informed you stated an infamous falsehood--He got the appointment without my aid and in fact without my knowledge--for I did not know he was even an applicant. Respectfully Rich.

St. Louis, Sept. 9th 1861 To His Excellency Richard Yates Governor of Illinois Dear Sir. I had the honor to receive your telegram of Saturday (though not until late last night), and also that of today, tendering me the colonelcy of a Regiment of Illinois Volunteers. I replied by telegraph that I could not accept though I regretted it very much. It would be improper for me to dismiss so flattering an offer from your Excellency without explaining my reason for so doing. The regiment to which I have belonged since the beginning of this war is being converted into a light-artillery regiment. The work we have undertaken is a very great one, and will demand the united efforts of all engaged in it. Therefore, although my position in the regiment is a subordinate one, I do not feel at liberty to abandon it for the sake of promotion. Permit me to express my high sense of the compliment paid me by your Excellency, and to assure you of my profound esteem. Yours very truly, J. M.
