&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir  
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Upon my recommendation you appointed some time ago Chs. During, a Drillmaster with rank of Lieutenant. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am informed that he aspires to be a Major in the “Koerner Regiment, and failing in that, he is now stirring up strife &amp;amp; commotion, wants to form another Regiment &amp;amp; the like foolery.  It is of the utmost importance to fill up Regiments, and fatal to prevent it; I therefore ask for a removal of the man, who when not gratified in his wishes, proves an ungrateful rascal. I expect to be off soon.  
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yours truly  
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;G. Koerner 
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Upon my recommendation you appointed some time ago Chs. During, a Drillmaster with rank of Lieutenant. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am informed that he aspires to be a Major in the “Koerner Regiment, and failing in that, he is now stirring up strife &amp;amp; commotion, wants to form another Regiment &amp;amp; the like foolery.  It is of the utmost importance to fill up Regiments, and fatal to prevent it; I therefore ask for a removal of the man, who when not gratified in his wishes, proves an ungrateful rascal. I expect to be off soon.  
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yours truly  
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;G. Koerner 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Gus. Koerner as to Chas During, a drill master &amp;amp;c who wants to raise regiment

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;His Excellency
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Richd Yates
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Govr &amp;amp;c  Sir:
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Col. Buford will hand you this hasty note.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He visits Springfield, at my request upon a matter of vital importance to my command.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You are advised of the circumstances under which my Brigade left Jacksonville for this place.  I will not enlarge upon or emphasize the inconvenience and disappointment of expectations which have followed.  Col. B will, if necessary, explain these.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We are now here, the main and almost the exclusive reliance for the defense of this place, which is beleaguered by near enemies on three sides, and we are virtually without arms, and do not know when we will be supplied with such as are worthy of the name.  
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I make no merit of the sacrifices I have 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;made in entering the military service.  Duty required it and that is enough; but in entering the service I expected to be enabled to make my service valuable to my country and honorable to my state, and those who have cast their lots with me in the field of danger.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I cannot do it without I am armed.  My reliance, as you know, has been largely upon you, whom I have cordially and uniformly sustained in the discharge of your responsible duties from the first. I still rely upon you and with a confidence that all just expectations will be realized.  Send me arms.  Send me four thousand stands of the Eufield rifle, which I understand have been or will be sent to you. It may be that I have some claim upon these same arms as I was, probably, instrumental, directly or indirectly, in causing them to be sent.  Send me arms and come down and see us, and we will give you a hearty reception.  I have labored incessantly since I have been here, but all this will be more than compensated if you will send me arms with 
–---
which I shall be enabled to realize whatever of favorable expectations may be entertained by sympathizing friends.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your friend and obt. servt.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;John A. McClernand

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Springfield Sept 23 1861
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Governor
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your letter has been received and should have been answered a day or two ago.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I saw while in St Louis, (for I was waited on by several leading men), that what you say is true, that there was a conspiracy to break down Genl Fremont, and I concur with you that it would be "disastrous to an alarming extent."  I believe it would bring about a revolution and the consequences would be direful and disastrous.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now, Governor, I know one thing certain, and that is the hearts of the soldiers and the people are with Fremont.  I have taken occasion to converse with several officers and with the people from different parts of thi State and they would not willingly
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;submit to the displacement of Fremont.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Many things are at the bottom of this move - ambition, jealousy, money.  Sharpers from Washington to Chicago &amp;amp; St Louis after fat contracts - seekers after place - and even the Presidential succession are at the bottom - for Governor, it is certain that the man be he McClelland or Fremont, or whoever he may be, who shall achieve the most brilliant victories during the present war and who shall impress himself upon the people as the master spirit of the [illegible] will be the next President.  and they the wise ones at Washington &amp;amp; elsewhere see it.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I feel warmly attached to Fremont, and could I have his ear I would try to impress him with one view, and that is to concentrate all his troops into one grand army, with but few detachments.  There is prestige in a large force - it can be marched any where and the march of an army through a country gaining brilliant victories has a moral effect spreading all over States, and dispensing with the necessity of small
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Springfield______ 186__
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;and scattered forces for there will be no uprisings of the enemy.  It is expected now by the country that our movements shall be aggressive - that we will not fight battles with the odds in numbers against us - and that we will fight battles when we chose and not at the choice of the enemy. But I will defer some other points to another time.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your friend

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gov Yates
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Springfield Ills
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My son Edwin C Lawson is in Capt Philips Company Col Logans Regiment.  He is prompt, energetic, correct in habits, order &amp;amp; system prominent.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have educated him for a business man &amp;amp; he is qualified for almost any business position.  I think you will find him admirably qualified for a Quartermaster of his Regiment or a like position  Any favors you may confer upon him will be received as an honor to myself
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your Respectfully
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Z. B. Lawson
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;P.S.  If you have any influence with the President, for heavens sake &amp;amp; the good of our country do not suffer John C. Fremont to be superseeded or press him to a resignation.  If either is the case the west I fear is forever crippled.  Great fears are felt in this locality &amp;amp; volunteering here is at an end until the public can have some assurance that he will continue in his present position.  John C Fremont is a host
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yours &amp;amp; c
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Z. B. Lawson

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Promotion for his son.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Answered
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Answer - 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;- No vacancy
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;- Q. M. appointed by Colonels
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;- Agree with you as to Fremont - He is the man

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Springfield Ills
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My son Edwin C Lawson is in Capt Philips Company Col Logans Regiment.  He is prompt, energetic, correct in habits, order &amp;amp; system prominent.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have educated him for a business man &amp;amp; he is qualified for almost any business position.  I think you will find him admirably qualified for a Quartermaster of his Regiment or a like position  Any favors you may confer upon him will be received as an honor to myself
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your Respectfully
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Z. B. Lawson
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;P.S.  If you have any influence with the President, for heavens sake &amp;amp; the good of our country do not suffer John C. Fremont to be superseeded or press him to a resignation.  If either is the case the west I fear is forever crippled.  Great fears are felt in this locality &amp;amp; volunteering here is at an end until the public can have some assurance that he will continue in his present position.  John C Fremont is a host
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yours &amp;amp; c
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Z. B. Lawson
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Z B Lawson
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Chesterfield
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Macoupin Co
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Promotion for his son.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Answered
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Answer - 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;- No vacancy
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;- Q. M. appointed by Colonels
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;- Agree with you as to Fremont - He is the man
&lt;/p&gt;
