Honl Richard Yates Govr Ill Dear Sir Yours of the 12" with fifteen Dollars enclosed was duly received. I have made inquiry into Thos Doyles case and do not think he is one of that needy & worthy class to whome the small fund in your hands should go. I therefore return it to you. This Mr Doyle was an Irish Teamster got into the fight by accident (as I suppose) and lost his Home. since his return home the Town has pretty thoroughly begged for his profit and a considerable sum of money raised for him - he has bought a lot & built quite a good house, and will (if he has not already) draw a Pension. The Irish are an intolerable set of Beggars, and the more we give them the more they expect of us - I could name others to whome it would be much better to pay the money, but the wants of our poor soldiers families here, are now pretty well supplied.

Henderson Knox Co Ill Jan'y 21st 1864 To His Excellency Gov. Yates; Sir, I write to learn if I could get authority to raise a company of men to be mounted and armed with the sixteen shooters - Rifles - a late invention of Connecticut manufature - and the sabre. I apprehend that men equipped in this way, acting with the rapidity of cavelry, would be as efficient as treble their number of Infantry. However this might be I beleive many would enlist in such a company that otherwise would not. Would not the efficiency of the sixteen shooters more than repay for their extra cost? Would they not be of good service against the guerillas? I enlisted in the 42nd Regt Ill Vols after their formation at Chicago, in Augt/61. Went through their Mo campaign - When I was attacked with the fever and measles, and received my discharge in April/62. A short experience, yet as my health has been gradually <hr /> but surely verging toward its original standard I am now able and willing to try another campaign Governor Yates will you give me a chance at the infernal guerillas. They are an extra editions to Gods footstool and should be wiped out. And a company, if no more, equipped as above, acting under a cavelry or infantry colonel or Brigadier would certainly hurt some of them. If Your Excellency considers the above proposition in a favrible light, What would be the maximum and what the minimum number allowed for a company. Perhaps an application of this kind should be made in a different manner, but as I am not acquainted with the formalities in such cases, if any, I hope the will may be taken for the want of them.

The application is sent through the regular military channel with the approval of the commanders here. The Regiment has seen some hard service since it has been in the field and is very much reduced in numbers. Our aggregate today is 383. <hr /> I find that a number of regiments which were organized and took the field about the same time with ours, have reported details for recruiting for their respective regiments. If we can get the detail asked for I am satisfied we should meet with reasonable success in the vicinity where the regiment was raised and our reports show that we very much need all the recruits we can obtain. I am satisfied that my officers as a body are as efficient as any in the service of the same experience, and all are determined on all occasions to prove themselves worthy the proud name that Illinois soldiers have won on nearly every contested field of the war I hope it will not be asking too much to ask your influence with the Sec'y of war in this behalf.
