Chicago, 15 Jan. 1864 Hon'ble Richard Yates Dear Governor This note will be handed to you by B. A. Ulrich Esq. of Chicago. He desires a German Consulship; and I have taken much interest in helping him to obtain it. His prospects are good. He will state you the facts. He would like a letter from you. You are already aware that he studied Civil law, and the German language in Germany. You are also aware that by means of German speeches, and German publications, he rendered great services in the late Campaign in Illinois. Like me he has desired your election as United States Senator. <hr /> In delivering sixty addresses in the late campaign in Illinois, I never omitted to throw in a word in favor of your election, as a matter of not only State, but of National importance, and I do now sincerely rejoice that you are now placed in that high place, where you can crowd the [illegible] traitor into thorough, radical, treason punishing measures. Notwithstanding a few places paid us liberally, yet so many paid little or nothing, that I paid out more money, while delivering these sixty addresses, than was paid to me. And yet so glorious is the success, especially when crowned by the diction of so noble a patriot as U.S. <hr /> Senator, that I now feel a thousand times repaid for all the wear and tear of these labors. You will by the enclosed that I have accepted invitations to [five? fine?] lessons in Elocution and Shakespeare to Classes of ladies and gentlemen, and also private lessons, to lawyers, clergymen &c in Chicago.

Litchfield Jany. 18th 1864 To his Excellency Gov. R. Yates Dr. Sir I have two sons in the 80th Regt Ill. Vols. From one I learn that there is an effort making in the regiment to have the vacancy of the Cols position filled by one of the officers that are now with the Regiment. It may be none of my business, but such vacancy being filled whilst the Lt. Co., Major and the greater part of the line officers are suffering in Libby prison. I think it an act of great injustice to say the least. I beleive it is said to be understood that whoever gets the appointment shall resign immedeately on the release of the officers that are in Libby. But it dont seeme right to me that Lt. Col. Rodgers should be cheated out of nearly a years salary as Col simply because he through no fault of his is a prisoner and some Skulking Officer who knows nothing of hardships past present and prospective <hr /> endured and to be endured by the officers and men composing the ill Starred expedition of Col. Straights. Should have the Col place There is no doubt that on the release of the Officers, but what Lt. Col. Rodgers will be the choice of the Regiment for Colonel. Pardon this plain letter as I know Col. Rodgers was mainely instrumental in getting up the Regiment and I understand that he and Major Bates are worth more to the Regiment than all the other Officers. Having great confidence that you will do what is just in the premises, I remain Yours Truly Andrew Miller P.S. I was enrolling Officer for this County in 1862 and as yet have received no pay.

Rock Island January 18th 1864 Dear Governor: Your kind letter informing me of the applications for the post of Sutler in Rock Island and tendering your kind offices in the matter, adds much to the weight of obligation I am already under to you. The position of Sutler is now held by Mr Albert C Dart, of this city, under appointment of Col Rusch late commandant of Col Johnson the present commandant of the Barracks, and which appointment is as I suppose, now on file in the War Department for the indorsement of the Secretary. Mr Dart is one of the very best and most reliable business men, and active working republicans in our city, and is iminently deserving of the place. His application was based on the request of the leading business men of the city, and his discharge of the duties of the position has met the unqualified acceptance of the officers in charge and all others concerned. For his sake I should be highly gratified to have his appointment approved and his commission issued. <hr /> Besides, let me add confidentially, that I have a personal interest, which would be very materially promoted by his permanent appointment to the place. Consequently, the exercise of your influence in his behalf, in such manner as in your judgment will most effectively serve to obtain his appointment and commission, at an early day, will very greatly oblige me, And this I would make free to ask of you as an especial personal favor. The uncertainty that now rests upon the matter interferes very considerably with the business arrangements of Mr Dart and myself for the future. It would be a real pleasure to me to avail myself of your kind invitation to visit you at Springfield and I shall seek an opportunity to do so. At present my court is in session here, and will occupy me for a fortnight or so. After that I know not what may "turn up" Remember me to Mrs Y. and believe me as Ever Your friend Ira O.
