I have no other interest in the matter than this; that justice may be done Col. McClellan and that the Volunteers from Vermillion Co. have a fair representation in the Field or Staff offices in the Regiment. I do not claim that they should be represented unless they present suitable persons for such offices; - those that are comparatively well qualified.- And knowing that Col. McClellan has been actively engaged in the performance of his duties as Lieut. Col and a good share of the time as commander of the Regt. since ordered from Ill. I think him a suitable person for the position he occupies. <hr /> As I used my influence to get him and the Vermilion Co. companies into that Regt. I hope you will pardon me for interfering in the matter. And I most respectfully ask that the request may be granted if consistent with the public interest.
