Springfield Ills. January 13, 1862 To his Excellency Governor Richard Yates Sir, A proposition for the establishment of a National Armory at some suitable point in the North Western States is now occupying the attention of Congress, which is likely to become a law as soon as the location and other particulars of its organization shall have been [fined?] upon. The object of this communication is to solicit your recommendation to the President of myself, for the appointment of Superintendant of the proposed Armory, in the event of its establishment; for which position I conceive myself well qualified by ability, education and experience. I have served both in the line, and in the Quarter Master's Department of the Army during the Mexican War, and have thus become acquainted practically with the regulations and requirements of the Military Service, and the modes of transacting its business with the several departments of the Government. The knowledge and experience thus gained have qualified me to perform the duties of Assistant Quarter Master General of this State, during the <hr /> the present War, under circumstances of considerable difficulty, with a degree of success, of which I leave others to judge. My duties in both this and the Mexican War have connected me with the Ordnance as well as the Quarter Master's Department, so that I am familiar with the duties of either. I have been by profession a Mechanical Engineer, and am both theoretically and practically acquainted with Mechanics, Architecture, Topographical, and Mechanical Draughting, Machine Making &c. I am also well versed in the several branches of Science connected with those pursuits. Should you consider that the interests of the Public service would be advanced by my appointment to the position alluded to, I shall feel greatly obliged if you will address a letter to the President expressive of your sentiments with regard to my eligibility.

Quincy, Janry 15-1862 To his Excellency, R. Yates Dear Sir, today an election was held in Capt Groves Co. and my friend Sumner was beaten. And Mr. Moon was elected. I had no desire to interfere in the matter further than to see justice done. If true, as the petition showed a majority were in favor of Sumner, I thought he ought to have it. But it seems, if it was true that the company at a formal election changed their minds. I do not wish it to be understood that I desire the appointment of Sumner against the voice of a majority of the Company. Some of our Battalion have been in service since the latter part of Sept. and we are expecting to be ordered into the field. Many of the men are married and poor, and their wives and children need their wages. And they particularly desire to send the money home before they go. Our pay Rolls are in the hands of Maj. Wilcox at Springfield. I do not think we have 50$ in the Battalion. If you would see Major Wilcox and send him over to pay us, you would really be a good Samaritan. If Maj. W. has the money, and is merely consulting his own convenience by delay I fear he will hear the cry of some women and children <hr /> at the great day. In as much as he does not feed and clothe them, he does not the master. Yours truly Geo. W. Stipp Capt Geo W Stipp Quincy Jany 11 About Pay. Col Wilcox to answer Send this to Col. Wilcox (Please return Col J.M.) Col Wilcox - If in your power to pay off this Regiment I sincerely hope you will do so. Our friend Stipp is a good natured fellow & means no harm in what he has said.

Jacksonville, 16th Jan. 1863 His Excellency R. Yates Governor of Illinois May it please your Excellency! I was employed at the State House forty days, for which I was liberally remunerated. Anticipating a longer term of service in Springfield, I, on the strength of credit obtained here, supplied my family with clothing & other measures of which they stood greatly in need; the bills these created, absorbed very nearly the whole amount received in Springfield. No one, I think, will accuse me of extravagance in my family, when I state that my wife is deferred, from the want of clothing, of the privilege of attending church on Sabbath days, and that both she and myself frequently rise from our table suffering from hunger in order that our children my have a sufficiency of the plainest & coarsest fare. Our butcher's bill for the last twelve months, has not reached $30; in fact, meat is a luxury we seldom enjoy. Before you left Springfield for Washington, you promised me employment which would occupy me four weeks. Your kindness I fully appreciate, & sincerely hope <hr /> that I may yet have an opportunity of evincing my gratitude. My wife's relatives on Apple Creek are very numerous & influential. They are all Democrat. Thirteen of these cast their votes for you at the November election before the last. And the majority of them, last fall, gave Squire Stacy their votes, with a view to serving me. When George Deatherage, a near relation of my wife's, heard that you had given me employment at Springfield, he observed, in my presence, that "Dick Yates was safe for the votes of one third of the Democracy on Apple Creek at any future elections." I do not recount these matters for the purpose of endeavoring to bribe you to do something for the relief of my family, but to show you that my wife's relatives are grateful for favors shown her. I believe if you had it in your power you would not suffer us to want; but I am aware that others, besides, have claims on your friendship. As I cannot witness the sufferings of my nine children, with stoicism, I must make one more effort for their relief. I must again solicit Mr. Seward for some subordinate situation in some distant land, which no other person would court; & to enable me to do this, I should feel much obliged if you would return me the memorial, or rather recommendation letter signed by some of the elite of our citizens. Some weeks since a gentleman from Kansas (who gave me his address,) recommended me to apply for <hr /> a land-office in that State, but Mr. Berdan thinks there would be insurmountable obstacles in the way. I have made efforts to obtain the Secretaryship to some of our military men, but find I am too late.
