</p><p>Dear Governor,
</p><p>We are satisfied that Ferry is running Taylor on joint account and that Ferry can adjust all matters if thinks it for his interest so to do. We also think that you had better say to Genl Fuller to come here and tell Ferry plainly and frankly that his head goes into the basket at once if the matter is not satisfactorily arranged.
</p><p>There is no use is mincing matters---if ingrates turns traitors, let them understand that they are known and that a traitors [doom?] is before them. Ferry thinks he has your confidence so far that it cannot be shaken, but when he finds that you know him, he will quail and come up to the mark.
</p><p>Yours Truly,
C. Beckwith

<p>Dear Governor
</p>
<pre> Dear Sir
</pre>
<pre> Your favor of the with enclosure as stated, is received. To day Taylors man Calkins has a letter from Taylor dated New York Dec 7th in which Taylor tells Calkins to change the account with us to some other name - saying he had been "forced" to give a check which he did not intend to pay - our attorney tells us which by your giving us notice of the check you received you have created an undoubted liar. You can rest assured we will do all in our power to protect your interest - have not yet received your letter enclosing the check. I think or hope when Taylor finds he is in a trap he
</pre>
<hr />
<p>will consent that you be allowed to take your money - I had occasion to use you today & took the liberty to ask you by telegraph to go - and see Gen Stoneman Chief of Cavalry Bureau & see if Capt Patten could not be placed in funds to pay for Horses delivery in this department. Your friend George J Bergiss of Galesburgh has a contract to deliver horses. We have been advancing him money he now owes us over one Hundred Thousand dollars, which is hourly distressing us. I hope soon to have the pleasure to meet you in Chicago. Some of our friends are anxiously looking for your return

Cairo Debr. 21th 1863
Sir:
I beg leave to acknowledge the receipt of your communication of the 17th instant in relation to the reception of the convicts condemned by sentence of Naval General Court Martial. At the same time I received a communication from James M. Pitman Esqr. warden of the State Penitentiary, dated Joliet, Decr. 15. Mr. Pitman agrees to receive any prisoners sent there on the same terms as other prisoners heretofore received.
I will send the prisoners, but I would like it understood that the Secretary of the Navy be informed if any action should arise out of this imprisonment or a writ of Habeus Corpus be issued for the possession of the persons of the
</p>
<hr />
<p>convicts, so that the Secretary may remove them to another place.
The Law is as follows:
In any case where a naval court martial is authorized to adjudge the punishment of death it may sentence the person convicted to imprisonment for life, or for a stated term at hard labor and such sentences of imprisonment and hard labor may be carried into execution in any pension or penitentiary under the control of the United States, or the use of which shall be allowed by the legislature of a State, and persons convicted by a court martial and imprisoned in the prison or penitentiary of any State or Territory shall in all respects be subject to the same discipline and treatment and under the same control as convicts sentenced by the courts of the State or Territory in which such prison or penitentiary is situated.
Very Respectfully

</p><p>My Dear Governor
</p><p>I have not seen Taylor or heard from him since you left.
</p><p>I wrote him this morning to come & see me without fail on Monday. I am pretty well satisfied that he has "gone back." on me, & intends to keep what he has got.

That I was in collusion with Taylor; that I was against you; that I could fix Taylor up if I wanted to.

Except he desired to create distrust & ill feeling between you & myself. I cannot conceive how I could be in collusion with Taylor as against you. The money you have got. and in the event of a [fight?] my evidence would support your right to it. This I told Taylor, Larned, Parks & others. In fact I informed them all, that Taylor had not one chance in a thousand to recover a cent of the money.

</p><p>Gov. Yates
</p><p>Dear Sir
</p><p>I must report what I told you in New York when I first arrived there that whatever I help you you must allow me to do so by installment. Say two thousand upon my arrival home and the balance as fast as possible perhaps all in within one month. When you asked for a check in New York I supposed you would be able to help me sure So that I could spare the money. But I have given up all hopes of your even being able to assist consequently whatever
</p>
<hr />
<p>I do for you must come from my own enertions and I do not think you have many friends that has or will do more than myself. You do not seem to remember that everything you have undertaken for me has proven a failure as far as you are concerned this last operation costs us terribly in getting other parties to do what you completely failed in now I am not finding fault for I think your intentions are good enough and I do not intend to shirk but you must ease me along. If you had succeeded in this matter it would be
</p>
<hr />
<p>a different thing. I would be the last man to ask you to favor me in time but under the circumstances I think I am closing the liberal thing. I shall leave here in the morning for home if you have not talked to Chase it is likely You do not want to. You might have prepared his mind for whatever we might have thought not to ask for. But never mind I have other plans which may work if they do all right. I will try and give you money fast as you will want it.

Friend Parks
The check given by Taylor was given to me in good faith as I will show you when I reach Chicago which I hope will be the first of next week. From the fact that he was not willing to draw for the whole amount to which I was entitled, I thought it best to send you the telegram which I did as that would place the same to my credit on your books. I therefore depend upon you as my friend as well as upon you as banker to hold the money for me.
