Ashkum, Iroquois Co., Ills. Nov. 19th, 1861 Hon. Richard Yates My dear Governor: Inclosed you will please find letters respectively from my estimable friends Judge Norton and Dr. Blades – together with certificate from the captains of 25th reg't Ill Volunteers, from the character of all which I feel warranted in addressing the Chief Magistrate of my adopted home. I feel the more free to do this, honord sir, from the high & hearty appreciation I cherish alike for your talents, princ- iples and administrative capacity displaid in the conspicuous part you have borne in the preservation of our afflicted nation. The matter to which I most respectfully invite your attention may be found in the following brief statment - I have the most indubitable evidence that a meeting called in <hr /> St. Louis for that purpose, by Col. Color, I was fairly and legitimatly chosen by 31 commissiond officers as chaplean to said reg't. And yet in direct contravention of the demands of common courtesy – the law, the moral interests, rights and preferences of at least eight tenths of said reg't – another person is appointed by Col Color. I am well advised of the fact that the gentleman thus appointed dose not & cannot comm- and the respect or confidence, at best, of more than a fragment of the regiment. I trust that I need hardly assure your excellancy that had this gentleman been recognized as the choice of a majority of those whose wishes should unquestion ably be consulted, no earthly consideration could induce an attempt upon my part to superceed him. Knowing, however, as I certainly do the exact reverse of this to be the case, I owe it no less to the <hr /> claims and benefits of our holy Christianity than to a noble self-sacrificing soldiery to earnestly solicit your official interposition in the correction of a flagrant wrong. A voluntary exile from the oppressive exactions of my native, yet dishonored home – a comparative stranger in a strange land – having served the Republican cause undeviatingly from its organization, and having made no inconsiderable sacrifices in my abandonent of the South, I cannot but indulge the belief that these facts together with my unequivocal claim to the position in question, will insure such action upon the part of your excellancy as will lead to a proper result. I would not fail, sir, to appreciate the probability that you are burdened with various cares of state seemingly of greater magnitude & pressing your attention with greater urgency than the matter here presented. I am <hr /> nevertheless persuaded that you cannot feel indifferent to the moral & spiritual welfare of a thousand Illinois patriots. I am well convinced, honord sir, that your kind and timely intervention could either secure my rights in the 25th or obtain for me a like position in an independent regiment now forming in Chicago. Your earliest possible attention will secure the lasting & gratefull appreciation of your excellancy’s obedient servant T.J.W. Sullivan P.S. May I ask the additional favor of the return by your secretary of the inclosed papers. T.J.W.S. Status The current transcription status of a document or a page.

St Nicholas Hotel. N.Y. Novr. 23Rd 1861 Dear Gov. When I answered your dispatch the other day I was not prepared to answer as specifically as I can now write, for the reason that we had not opened or compared the bids for supplies of clothing whilst at Philadelphia. We made out a list of army clothing, amounting in the aggregate to say Five hundred Thousand Dollars, embracing most of the articles furnished to troops. But in less quantities than indicated by the statement furnish you by the Q.M Department which you sent to Govr Wood We furnished Mssrs Sarmiento & Co. with a copy of the list and waited in Philadelphia two days for them to figure on it. We then came here and furnished Mssrs Cole & Hopkins with a copy. Mr Hopkins was very much surprised that we were inviting competition. And said we should just figure with him and treat him as the agent of Illinois and let him go on and supply our troops through the War, but Govr Wood said no, you must meet honorable competition and figure the matter down and if you are the lowest bidders on these articles you shall have the contract otherwise I cannot give it to you. Hopkins then prepared his proposal and handed it in. We have opened the bids and in almost every article he is much above the Philadelphia House. And in the <hr /> aggregate there is a difference of 30, or 40,000$ between the bids and in favor of the Philadelphia concern. We were surprised at the result and have sent to Phila for Samples of goods proposed upon by Sarmiento & Co and I have no doubt that they will compare favorably with the goods here. Mr Hopkins is very much disappointed – he evidently did not expect to be out bid. As he was or even did not expect we would invite any Competition I dont know what amount of goods Govr Wood will contract for or whether he will make any contracts at all whilst here. But if he does I cant see how he can fail to give Sarmiento a good large amount. The condition of our finances at home and the failure of Mr Butler to sell our Bonds in connection with the little encouragement we received from Mr Secretary Chase at Washington makes it a matter of doubt with me whether it is safe to advise the making very heavy contracts by the State -- by the way Mr Thomas Campbell was to remain at Washington to urge the money matter upon the attention of Mr Chase and you ought to write to Campbell about our pressing necessities. The Sabres for Cols. Kellogg & Cavanaugh have been shipped from here since I came, and I have the promise of Maj Wagner ordnance officer here that the Pistols for Col Kellogg & Carbines for Cavanaugh shall be sent as soon as they can be purchased. He is buying all that are offered and I have not doubt they will be furnished in a few days. Your friend Martin H.
