Orange Ills Sep 27 1861 Hon. Rich Yates Govener of the state of Illinois Most excelent sir Pardon me if I adress your honor and not word right as I am no much of a schollar. The reason why I write to you if of considerable interest to me yet you may not consider it so. But I will preceed to inform you of the circumstance which is as follows - Last spring I hired one Martin L. Wallick to work for me on the farm. he was to work eight months for one hundred dollars. I was to pay him ten dollars during the summer the ballence when his time was out or during the coming winter up to the time of Capt Woolsey going off with his company I paid him some thirty five or six dollars. he worked four months and eight days. the ballance he told (Martin) me to pay to his sister. I told him I would which I can prove. When Woolsey went off the day before (Sunday) Martin Wallick came out to my house it being very rainy and wet <hr /> he asked me for my horse to ride into camp at Knoxville 3 1/2 miles - and he said that I should send in to camp on Monday and get my horse. he said come early for we will start off by eight oclock. The next morning I sent my son in for the horse, he went in camp but could not find the horse, he went to Capt Woolsey and told him that he wanted his horse. he (Woolsey) told him that he was not a going to let the horse go out of camp until Martin rode him out, and that Martin should ride him to war My son told him that the horse did not belong to Martin. Woolsey said he did not care the horse should go to war with him my son demanded the horse the second time Woolsey then ordered some of his men to take my son out of the camp which they did and immediately ordered Martin to mount the horse which they had hid in a board tent. he mounted and went off with the company on my horse. my son <hr /> then got a replevy and officer and followed and overtook them at Maquon, the officer Dept sheriff took hold of the horse to bring him off Capt Woolsey ordered his company to come to his help to keep or take the horse from the sheriff Woolsey [Martiny?] Wallick and a number of others laid hold of the horse, and took him from the officer, and told my son that he would give him up the horse if he (my son) would pay [Martiny?] thirty five dollars or get him another horse. my son told him that he would or could not do it as I did not owe Martin any thing, Well said Woolsey, he would be back in a week and then he would settle my son said that he wanted the horse, but if he could not get him then it would have to go so, Woolsey said that he would give him $110.00 for the horse then take off $33.00 I was then to have $77.00. so when Woolsey came up, I sent my son in to town and told him to demand my horse Woolsey would not talk with him. he said that he had bonds for $77.00 that I might have and went off never offered <hr /> Bonds horse money nor nothing what ever Now your Honor I was left a widow one year ago with almost nothing all that I have is my horses, and Woolsey knew it I am now 50 years of age and not healthy, five children to make a living for that are at home and one of these a cripple that goes around with crutches now sir I cannot even get up my wood.

Jefferson City Sept 26 1861 Dear Govenor We arrived here yesterday morning from Rolla. Freemont first ordered Hunter to Rolla when he stayed a few days when he was ordered here not to take command but to await further orders which he is doing and while he is doing so Price I calculate will fall back and make his escape. Freemont has intended coming here himself to take command but I dont believe he will nor will he allow Hunter to do anything I am clearly of the Opinion that Freemont has not the ability to mange this department. He is first rushing his Troops to one point and then another while the Enemy is [overruning?] the whole county and unless there is a change the first of January will find all the Troops in Missouri I am heartily sick & disgusted and I now Say to you that Illinois owes it to her Troops to begin making [at side]: J.W. Shaffer <hr /> making a fuss about it, and I have no hopes of there being any change for the better untill Freemont is suspended. I wish to God I had taken your adice and accepted a Regiment I then would have been in a position where I could of done some good by taking care of 1000 Ills Troops but as I am situated I can only look on and see things go to the devil without any power to do any good. I have no authority to do any thing the Quarter Masters department is run in such a manner in the state that whoever has any position in it will be cursed. Yesterday a couple of Palmers men were killed & a number wounded and a larger amount of mules & other property destroyed and all for the want of some person to take charge of the Transportation that knew how Railroads should be run There should be at least 20 first Class Railroad men employed <hr /> on these Roads to run them. This is only the beginning of a series of accidents that must happen as the men in charge know nothing about Railroad business. I am about ready to curse the Adminstratn for not making a change here when it knows that every thing is going to the Devil. If during the Fall you should see a chance to give me a Regiment without interfering with your other arrangements and it would be entirely satisfactory to all partes concerned I would be glad to accept it as I am sattisfied I could do better by a Regiment then most of the Cols who are at the Head of Ills Regiments, and I have about given up all hope of Doing anything where I am. But understand I Dont want you to give me a Regiment unless you can do it just as easy as not for I know how you are situated and I would take <hr /> no position that would not be entirely agreeable to all our Friends and especially to those that surround you. I am in no particular hurry and would not leave Hunter if he was in a position to do any thing and would not leave him at any rate unless he was entirely willing which he is. I would not feel so bad about matters did I not know that I could take any branch of the Quartermasters Department in this state and run it up to the handle and do the service some good. But the whole concern is run by a [Sett?] that by God dont know enough about business to manage a Saw Mill. But there is no use in talking. We must stand it until the Administratn sees fit to put somebody here that knows something. I wish you would write me a letter and let me know how you are getting along as I am anxious to know how things are going as I often think of you Truly Your Friend J W Shaffer Status The current transcription status of a document or a page.

My dear Sir: Capt. Booth is, as [illegible] from my son, who is recruiting for a cavalry Company in Wisconsin, at Springfield desiring to get authority to raise a squadron of cavalry. Allow me to ask from you the most favorable consideration of his application. My son expects to go with him, if he succeeds in raising the squadron, and as he is very anxious about the matter, so am I. Parties who come to settle their accounts (Back) <hr /> with the Marine Bank always claim peculiar consideration, if they have not annoyed me before. Allow me to avail myself of the precedent, and ask you, as the ladies say, [prettily?] to grant Mr. Booth's request.

Springfield Ill Sep 25. 1861 To his Excellency Governor Richard Yates. Dear Sir In more than one instance after I had complied with the regulation of the War Deptmt. and secured the recommendations of Commanders of Cos. the recommendations have been overode by the preferances of Colonels. So after repeated efforts and after the ground has been fairly won it has come to this that most of the Regiments are supplied and further opportunities are rapidly passing away. No man has been more unflagging in zeal, more self sacrificing in duration and fidelity to the cause which you so ably represent than myself. My time money pen and speech have been employed unceasingly ever since that cause had an existence - and to day I am suffering more from my <hr /> devotion to that interest than will ever be known except to a few intimate friends. I have no wish to be tiresome in the expression of my wishes, nevertheless I do wish to say enough to interest you in my behalf while you have an opportunity of rewarding your ardent friends May I not respectfully ask you to bring your influence to bear on some Col. whom you are about to appoint so that he will give me the post of usefulness and responsibility for which I trust I am qualified, or if you cannot do this will you not give me a position within your control. Upon consultation with my friend who will hand you this you will learn whatever may be necessary to know of capacity acquirements and character. Yours respectfully F. W.
