&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To his excellency Gov Yates
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Within the next few days my Regiment will be divided into two equal parts, and will in all probability, remain divided during the campaign.  We have a Regt of twelve hundred men, and in view of the numerous accidents to which the Cavalry are subjected, as well as their equal liability to disease with the other arms of the service---I am well satisfied that each six hundred men, of necessity require a Surgeon and Assistant Surgeon.  You will recollect that in the first place I strongly urged Dr. Crain, for the post of Surgeon.  The Dr has since passed the Board as &lt;u&gt;Surgeon&lt;/u&gt; and I would now earnestly recommend that he be appointed as Surgeon of one of the two divisions.  He has from the first given &lt;u&gt;entire&lt;/u&gt; satisfaction to us all and indeed was our only Surgeon for the first month.  
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We have all become attached to the Dr. and feel that as he must take the position of first Surgeon in one of the divisions, he certainly should have a reasonable remuneration for his services.  In making this request, I am actuated by a sense of duty and by the urgent request of the officers &amp;amp; members of my command.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Respectfully yours,
S. Noble

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Respectfully yours,
S. Noble

Dear Sir
I have the pleasure of introducing to you the Bearer, my friend John McIlwain who is Major in Col Smiths Regt and who several of our citizens are trying their utmost to injure and displace from his honorable position by their traitorous and disunion acts for which they have not the least shadow of reason except mere selfishness to Mr McIlwain and traitorism to the Union.  Permit me therefore to say to you that having known Mr. McIlwain for the last three years I would truly recommend him to you as being a man true to the Union and one who will perform his duty to the best possible advantage.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I remain yours truly
F Remann

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ill
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have the pleasure of introducing to you the Bearer, my friend John McIlwain who is Major in Col Smith's Regt and who several of our citizens are trying their utmost to injure and displace from his honorable position, by their traitorous and disunion acts, for which they have not the least shadow of reason, except mere selfishness to Mr McIlwain and traitorism to the Union.  
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Permit me therefore to say to you that having known Mr. McIlwain for the last three years I would truly recommend him to you as being a man true to the Union and one who will perform his duty to the best possible advantage.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I remain yours truly
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;F. Remann
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Olney Ills Augt 20th 1861
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hon: R. Yates
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have this day accompanied the volunteer company we have at last been able to organize in Grayville to this place, on their route to Springfield &amp;amp; whilst I cannot say much for the boy's piety I can truly say better fighting materials in the defense of the Union cannot be found.  
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Their Captain Up de Graff is a most excellent officer &amp;amp; will soon drill them into good soldiers.  My son Charles E Spring while making great business sacrifices to his patriotism has been mainly instrumental in getting it up, only accepting the office of orderly sergeant to prevent jealousy among the democrats though deservedly popular with both parties.  Knowing that he is fully competent to fulfill the arduous duties of that office I still cannot help feeling that he deserves something better &amp;amp; if you could promote him in the Commisary department for which his business habits so well qualify him 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;or in any other branch of the service he may wish to enter you will confer a great personal favor &amp;amp; may rest assured you will find him an active efficient &amp;amp; &lt;u&gt;honest&lt;/u&gt; officer
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Respectfully Yours truly
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sydney Spring

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Olney Ills Augt 20th 1861
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hon: R. Yates
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have this day accompanied the volunteer company we have at last been able to organize in Grayville to this place, on their route to Springfield &amp;amp; whilst I cannot say much for the boy's piety I can truly say better fighting materials in the defense of the Union cannot be found.  
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Their Captain Up de Graff is a most excellent officer &amp;amp; will soon drill them into good soldiers.  My son Charles E Spring while making great business sacrifices to his patriotism has been mainly instrumental in getting it up, only accepting the office of orderly sergeant to prevent jealousy among the democrats though deservedly popular with both parties.  Knowing that he is fully competent to fulfill the arduous duties of that office I still cannot help feeling that he deserves something better &amp;amp; if you could promote him in the Commisary department for which his business habits so well qualify him 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;or in any other branch of the service he may wish to enter you will confer a great personal favor &amp;amp; may rest assured you will find him an active efficient &amp;amp; &lt;u&gt;honest&lt;/u&gt; officer
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Respectfully Yours truly
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sydney Spring

                    <text>&lt;p&gt;Burnt Prairie Ills
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Septr 2nd 1861
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My Dear Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I should have advised you sooner in regard to the Cavalry Company but for your Proclamation that all Companies would be recd. which rendered it apparently unnecessary to report to you whether or not I would get a Company in readiness at the required time.  
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I went to work on receipt of your letter to get the Company together and would probably have succeeded had I not thought it necessary - owing to the shortness of the time to get in readiness - to join with some persons at Grayville and Phillipstown which produced dissatisfaction in my own neighbourhood and resulted
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;in my defeat by a small majority at the Election of Officers.  The Grayville and Phillipstown men by voting more men that had no intention of going to the war than the majority against me carried all the offices and are endeavoring to make out the Company at Grayville but with what success I am not apprised.  If I make another attempt it will not be untill after Wheat is sowed.  If the Grayville and Phillipstown party succeed they will have appropriated to their use about $10.00 of expense incured by me beside my time. This however is about in keeping with my fortunes in political matters for I will venture to say and I am of opinion that it is believed by my neighbors
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sept 2 1861
that of the three persons in my immediate vicinity who have been the recipient of Federal favor Viz Turney, Limgor and Brown the labor and sacrifise given by all of them for Political purposes does not equal that of my own.  The fact is that while they were demanding money of the Republican Party for political use I was steadily footing whatever necessary expense for the Cause presented itself.  I have taken but little pains to present my claims for the official favor and in that little I have been sent on one occasion by an insinuation that a plea of pecuniary necessity was fatal to an applicant for office under the present Administration.  Believing that such a heartless sentiment does not find a response
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;in your bosom I desire to say to you that Bankruptcy and a consequent want of the necessaries of life look me full in the face.  I have no reason to doubt but that if I had never had anything to do in political matters my situation in life would have been far different.  In the beginning of the year 1856 I had attained to a prosperous business at this place.  I did not think of anything but affluence during the remainder of my days.  At that time I began to distribute Republican Documents and the same was met by threats of destruction to my business which only stimulated me to renewed exertion for the Rep cause.  Finally giving up my business I threw my whole sole into the work making it my study and pursuit and my acquaintance being tolerably extensive in this and adjoining counties I made it my study and duty to provide every person with good political reading matter who I thought was at all susceptible of embibing true principles as also the providing of speakers  [?c&amp;#160;?c]  The result has been that many persons of Democratic faith who were once my warmest friends are now my bitterest enemies and availing themselves of a little circumstance with regard to a fugitive slave (which I believe I explained to you once) they have attatched the odium of Abolitionism on me and having sought in every way to break me down thinking that thereby they could break down the Rep Party in this vicinity have ruined my prospects for business pursuits in this vicinity.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You expressed to me while at Springfield in June last a purpose of giving me some position.  Some place in the Army where business qualifications and industry are necessary would suit me.  Anything you can do for me will be thankfully received and remembered.
Your sincere friend
D. G. Hay

                <text>&lt;p&gt;Burnt Prairie Ills
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Septr 2nd 1861
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My Dear Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I should have advised you sooner in regard to the Cavalry Company but for your Proclamation that all Companies would be recd. which rendered it apparently unnecessary to report to you whether or not I would get a Company in readiness at the required time.  
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I went to work on receipt of your letter to get the Company together and would probably have succeeded had I not thought it necessary - owing to the shortness of the time to get in readiness - to join with some persons at Grayville and Phillipstown which produced dissatisfaction in my own neighbourhood and resulted
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;in my defeat by a small majority at the Election of Officers.  The Grayville and Phillipstown men by voting more men that had no intention of going to the war than the majority against me carried all the offices &amp;amp; are indeavoring to make out the Company at Grayville but with what success I am not apprised.  If I make another attempt it will not be untill after Wheat is sowed.  
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If the Grayville &amp;amp; Phillipstown party succeed they will have appropriated to their use about $10.00 of expense incured by me beside my time. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This however is about in keeping with my fortunes in political matters for I will venture to say &amp;amp; I am of opinion that it is believed by my neighbors
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sept 2 1861
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;that of the three persons in my immediate vicinity who have been the recipient of Federal favor viz. Turney, Limgor and Brown the labor and sacrifise given by all of them for Political purposes does not equal that of my own.  
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The fact is that while they were demanding money of the Republican Party for political use I was steadily footing whatever necessary expense - for the Cause - presented itself.  
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have taken but little pains to present my claims for the official favor and in that little I have been met on one occasion by an insinuation that a plea of pecuniary necessity was fatal to an applicant for office under the present Administration.  
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Believing that such a heartless sentiment does not find a response
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;in your bosom I desire to say to you that Bankruptcy &amp;amp; a consequent want of the necessaries of life look me full in the face.  
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have no reason to doubt but that if I had never had anything to do in political matters my situation in life would have been far different. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the beginning of the year 1856 I had attained to a prosperous business at this place.  I did not think of anything but affluence during the remainder of my days.  At that time I began to distribute Republican Documents &amp;amp; the same was met by threats of destruction to my business, which only stimulated me to renewed exertion for the Rep. cause.  Till finally giving up my business I threw my whole sole into the work making it my study &amp;amp; pursuit, and my acquaintance being tolerably extensive in 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;5th  Sept 2 1861
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;this &amp;amp; adjoining counties I made it my study &amp;amp; duty to provide every person with good political reading matter who I thought was at all susceptible of embibing true principles and also the providing of speakers &amp;amp;c. &amp;amp;c.  
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The result has been that many persons of Democratic faith who were once my warmest friends are now my bitterest enemies and availing themselves of a little circumstance with regard to a fugitive slave (which I believe I explained to you once) they have attatched the odium of Abolitionism on me &amp;amp; having sought in every way to break me down thinking that thereby they could break down the Rep. Party in this vicinity have ruined my prospects for business pursuits in this vicinity.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You expressed to me while at Springfield in June last a purpose of giving me some position.  
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Some place in the Army where business qualifications &amp;amp; industry are necessary would suit me.  
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Anything you can do for me will be thankfully received and remembered.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your sincere friend
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;D. G. Hay
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;His Exy. Gov. Yates.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;D. G. Hay
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;for position
&lt;/p&gt;

                    <text>&lt;p&gt;Add: to Period 1861 - 1870:
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Of course, any reference
to the Governorship in Ill
from '61 to '65 would be
incomplete without a 
reference to three things:
namely the "Proroguing of
the Legislature, The "Cairo
Expedition" and the Discov
ry of Ulysses S. Grant.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Cairo Expedition
was simply the prompt [illegible] 
to Cairo of a body of Illinois State
Militia, between 600 and 
700 strong, commanded by 
Brigadier General Swift, the 
whole enterprise being by the 
direct order if War Govnr Yates.
Had not not Cairo been occupied
at his early date________1861
by Union troops, the soldiers
of the South  would have occupied  |over
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;that strategic point within
a very few days: and upon
its being threatened from the
North, Confederate troops in full force
would have been rushed in, and it would have 
taken thousands of Illinois
lives to dislodge them.
Throughout the whole Civil War
there was no single spot
more useful and used by the Union more than Cairo. Had 
we been deprived of it, the
damage + loss would have been incalculable. The
Cairo Expedition, therefore, is
worthy of extensive mention
- Entirely too extensive to be in-
cluded in this Manuscript. 
To this [wrote] extensive [illegible]
we therefore lean it. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Prorogation of 
Legislation, June 9 18863,
was a matter unprecedented
in American History,
and [unimitated]  except [by]
when War Govonor Olivor P
Morton [prorogurd] the Legis-
latun of Indiana. It 
would require a separate
volume in the Illinois
State Historical Library
to print all the thing.
Accordingly I refrain [illegible]
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Altho the whole country 
seems to have talked about this prorogation, it seems 
that he talked about it very little himself.
I find that in a 
speech made at
Elgin on the 4th day 
of July 1863, he 
did laughingly mention 
it as follows.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The discovery of Grant 
was a romance, a melodrama
almost as breathless as any 
of [illegible] [illegible] portraying
or depicting the arrival
of one of his dashing +
invincible heroes.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hon. L. Swett:
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My Dear Sir:
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You will pardon me about being solicitous about hearing from the results of your communications, with the friends to whom you proposed writing. With the most rigid economy which I am compelled to practise, I find it will be absolutely impossible to continue housekeeping on my present means two mont[h]s longer.  Seeking retirement as a necessity, with my great sorrow upon me, it would be to me the greatest conceivable pain, that I should have to rent this place, to assist me, in living.  With the sum, with the amount
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;of which you are apprised.  I cannot attempt to struggle through the coming winter, with the requirements, which the winter necessarily brings.  All I desire to know is, what prospect, there is of a change, or if you have been advised of any, please inform me so that I may make my arrangements.  I can assure you, it will add, another pang, to my afflictions, if I have to give up for want of means to keep it up, my present situation.  If so, my pride would not allow me to remain in a land, under so many obligations to my noble husband.  I would go, with my son, where I could live retired &amp;amp; at less expense, far distant from here.  Without hesitation in case of nothing being done, I shall proceed in a few weeks, to dispose of all my personal effects, which in the future will not be required.  Please write me if you have heard any thing.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;[continued on page 1 written sideways in margin] 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;believe me
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;most respectfully
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mary Lincoln.

                <text>&lt;p&gt;Chicago 13th Sept
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hon. L. Swett:
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My Dear Sir:
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You will pardon me about being solicitous about hearing from the results of your communications, with the friends to whom you proposed writing. With the most rigid economy which I am compelled to practise, I find it will be absolutely impossible to continue housekeeping on my present means two mont[h]s longer.  Seeking retirement as a necessity, with my great sorrow upon me, it would be to me the greatest conceivable pain, that I should have to rent this place, to assist me, in living.  With the sum, with the amount
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;of which you are apprised.  I cannot attempt to struggle through the coming winter, with the requirements, which the winter necessarily brings.  All I desire to know is, what prospect, there is of a change, or if you have been advised of any, please inform me so that I may make my arrangements.  I can assure you, it will add, another pang, to my afflictions, if I have to give up for want of means to keep it up, my present situation.  If so, my pride would not allow me to remain in a land, under so many obligations to my noble husband.  I would go, with my son, where I could live retired &amp;amp; at less expense, far distant from here.  Without hesitation in case of nothing being done, I shall proceed in a few weeks, to dispose of all my personal effects, which in the future will not be required.  Please write me if you have heard any thing.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;[continued on page 1 written sideways in margin] 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;believe me
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;most respectfully
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mary Lincoln.
&lt;/p&gt;

                  <text>William H. Herdman, a blacksmith and early resident of Mount Vernon, Illinois, was the son of Robert and Jane Hanson Herdman. He married Mary A. Kirby, the daughter of Moses and Lydia Williamson Kirby. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Herdman moved to Mount Vernon from Pennsylvania in 1850. In 1865 his brother, Thomas, a Methodist Episcopal minister, came from Ohio to head the Methodist Seminary at Mount Vernon which closed down during the Civil War. He remained there for four years and then acted as minister for several different churches in the area. In 1890 he was elected president of McKendree College. He remained at the college in various positions for approximately ten years. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;William Hamilton and Mary had eight daughters including Ada I. Herdman, Ina B. Herdman, Florence V. Herdman, Ellen A. Herdman Gowenlock, Henrietta "Etta" Herdman Doud, Octavia L. Herdman Huff, and Grace Herdman Harris. Henrietta "Etta" Herdman married Menzer Fairchild Doud of St. Louis, Missouri, a newspaper writer for various papers in Kansas and Missouri. Their daughter, Grace, was a school teacher and served as chairman of the Missouri State Association of Childhood Education in 1939. Their oldest daughter, Ada, was also a schoolteacher and taught in the Mount Vernon area for many years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Henrietta Doud's youngest daughter, Virginia, provided many of the photo identifications on the photographs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Photographs in this collection include images of the Herdman family with a high number of images featuring the families of Henrietta Doud, Grace Harris, Ellen Gowenlock, and Octavia Huff.</text>
