State of Illinois Executive Department Springfield June 15. 1863 Hon A. Lincoln, President Washington D.C. I happened to be present on the boat with Gen Grant when the Transports run the Blockade at Vicksburg. You cannot imagine the interest we felt in the result. In fact the whole success of grant in the brilliant victories he has since achieved depended upon the running of that blockade with our transports. We used those very transports to get our troops to Carthage & Perkin's plantation and to cross the Mississippi at the battle at Port. Gibson and they have been <hr /> 2 used constantly ever since and in fact have been indispensable to our success. When the transports run the blockade it was considered a most daring attempt and we all felt a peculiar interest in Col Clark B. Lagow who volunteered to take command and who so succesfully carried the expedition through. Lagow is a citizen of Crawford Co. Ills---has a large family, has been in the war from the start---arose from a Lieutenancy to a Colonelcy. I think for this daring act he is richly entitled to a Brigadeer Generalship. he is in every respect worthy of it as he is a man of ability, energy and integrity. The Government in my opinion very much promotes the service when it confers promotion <hr /> 3 upon a man who has rendered marked and distinguished service and such a case is presented now---and I sincerely hope that Col Lagow may receive this promotion. Very truly Yours Rich.

State of Illinois Executive Department Springfield June 15. 1863 Hon A. Lincoln, President Washington D.C. I happened to be present on the boat with Gen Grant when the Transports run the Blockade at Vicksburg. You cannot imagine the interest we felt in the result. In fact the whole success of grant in the brilliant victories he has since achieved depended upon the running of that blockade with our transports. We used those very transports to get our troops to Carthage & Perkin's plantation and to cross the Mississippi at the battle at Port. Gibson and they have been <hr /> 2 used constantly ever since and in fact have been indispensable to our success. When the transports run the blockade it was considered a most daring attempt and we all felt a peculiar interest in Col Clark B. Lagow who volunteered to take command and who so succesfully carried the expedition through. Lagow is a citizen of Crawford Co. Ills---has a large family, has been in the war from the start---arose from a Lieutenancy to a Colonelcy. I think for this daring act he is richly entitled to a Brigadeer Generalship. he is in every respect worthy of it as he is a man of ability, energy and integrity. The Government in my opinion very much promotes the service when it confers promotion <hr /> 3 upon a man who has rendered marked and distinguished service and such a case is presented now---and I sincerely hope that Col Lagow may receive this promotion. Very truly Yours Rich.

Although Mr Lincoln by letter (Aug 3d) encouraged me, and Mr Herndon subsequently at various times; still left Roberts' Law office in Pekin to attend the Normal University seeking thereby a more quiet literary life than in Court. I served the Presidential Campaign in the Daily Pantagraph office at Bloomington and in November went to New York City - The September following I Came back to St Louis and Entered the Army "After Price".
