Confidential Peoria Ills July 26th 1862 Governor Richd Yates Dear Sir I know you are earnestly desirous that a regiment for the war shall be speedily raised in this district --- But it cannot be accomplished if Charles Ballance is to be the Colonel. Mr. Ballance is not popular and has but few, if any, of the elements of popularity in his composition. If he had Ten years time, and the State as large for his district, he could not raise Twenty men that would vote for him for Colonel. Some of the gentlemen who are now endeavoring to raise companies here have been to me, and have spoken long and loud against Ballance, declaring the facts that Mr. Ballance had been authorized by you to raise a regiment, rendered it almost impossible for them to raise men. They would much prefer disbanding than to continue the attempts to raise a company if Ballance is to be their commander. Let it be known that Mr. Ballance is to be the Col. of the regiment and recruiting would stop at once. Patriotism and money could not induce them to go under his command. Ballance is an “old fogy” all [over.?] Some say “old Granny”!! He is fossilized. His blood is too thin. I have no interest in the matter, except an interest in common with my loyal fellow citizens in the success of the regiment now being recruited in this district. <hr /> For the honor and glory of the State, which is already as resplendent as Heroism and Patriotism can render it, I desire to see a full regiment raised here with a whoop to it, which can be done in thirty days, if the right man was in the lead, or if Ballance was out of the way. I write this letter partly at the Solicitation of those who are raising men for this regiment, and partly because I have an interest in the honor, good name-- and fame of the State and this Section particularly in this matter. You have the power to make this matter right, and I for one among the many, hope you will do it. Very respectfully and very truly Yours &c E C Ingersoll <hr /> E.C. Ingersoll. Peoria July 26. 62 Thinks it will be impossible to raise a Regiment in his district if Charles Ballance is to be the Colonel. If it is known that some good man is to be the Colonel, the regiment can be filled within 30 days.
