Craddock & Wright Attorney at Law Tuscola, Ills Tuscola, Ills July 1st 1863 To his Excellency, Gov. Yates of Ills Gov. in view of the fact that the late Democratic Legislature refused to make any appropriations for relief of our sick and wounded soldiers now in the field, it is reasonable to presume that you are unable to extend to those brave sufferers that liberal hand which which your benevolent and patriotic heart would desire, and the cause of humanity, and the honor of your noble State demand. Therefore, to enable you, so far as I may be able, to meet the emergency of the case, independently of the legislative appropriations, I propose giving you a deed of trust on my property in this village to secure the payment of $300.00 payable in Four years from date with with seven percent and take the risk of the state redeeming it. I have a policy of insurance on it for $1000.00 which runs to the 20th day of June 1868. I owe $600.00 on it payable in ! & 2 years. I have paid on $600 in cash. It is now worth (as I verily believe) $1500.00 in Money. This is an honest statement of the value and condition of the property on which I offer the security. If you can use securities of this kind to aid you in this great work, please let me know at an early day, and I try and get others of the same kind for the same purpose. With sentiments of devotion to the cause of our bleeding country, I am your obedient Servant Greenberry Wright <hr /> P.S. As you will see from the card & heading of this letter- I have moved from Mason to this place. G.W. <hr /> July 14 - 63 Wright Greenberry Tuscola July 1st 1863 File W. In view of the Legislature failing to match the [profuse?] appropriations- and to enable the Governor to meet the emergency of the case he proposes to give the Governor a deed of trust on his property to secure the payment of two hundred & fifty Dollars and take the risk of the State redeeming. If securities of this kind can be used please let him know. _______________________________ File Recd ExO. July 6 1863 Status The current transcription status of a document or a page.

Craddock & Wright Attorney at Law Tuscola, Ills Tuscola, Ills July 1st 1863 To his Excellency, Gov. Yates of Ills Gov. in view of the fact that the late Democratic Legislature refused to make any appropriations for relief of our sick and wounded soldiers now in the field, it is reasonable to presume that you are unable to extend to those brave sufferers that liberal hand which which your benevolent and patriotic heart would desire, and the cause of humanity, and the honor of your noble State demand. Therefore, to enable you, so far as I may be able, to meet the emergency of the case, independently of the legislative appropriations, I propose giving you a deed of trust on my property in this village to secure the payment of $300.00 payable in Four years from date with with seven percent and take the risk of the state redeeming it. I have a policy of insurance on it for $1000.00 which runs to the 20th day of June 1868. I owe $600.00 on it payable in ! & 2 years. I have paid on $600 in cash. It is now worth (as I verily believe) $1500.00 in Money. This is an honest statement of the value and condition of the property on which I offer the security. If you can use securities of this kind to aid you in this great work, please let me know at an early day, and I try and get others of the same kind for the same purpose. With sentiments of devotion to the cause of our bleeding country, I am your obedient Servant Greenberry Wright <hr /> P.S. As you will see from the card & heading of this letter- I have moved from Mason to this place. G.W. <hr /> July 14 - 63 Wright Greenberry Tuscola July 1st 1863 File W. In view of the Legislature failing to match the [profuse?] appropriations- and to enable the Governor to meet the emergency of the case he proposes to give the Governor a deed of trust on his property to secure the payment of two hundred & fifty Dollars and take the risk of the State redeeming. If securities of this kind can be used please let him know. _______________________________ File Recd ExO. July 6 1863 Status The current transcription status of a document or a page.

Atilla Williamson Co Ill May 29th 1861 Hon Richard Yates Dear Sir I wrote to you on the 25th of last month about the traitors in our County seat & I now write to you again on the same subject by the urgent request of many union men boath Republicans & Democrats & we sincerely hope that you will thoroughly investigat the whole business & crush out treason at home as well as abraud. On the 25 inst a No of our Citizens in Marion met by agreement a No of others at Wardsvill about 9 miles south of town & formed a secetion company of 85 men, elected their officers & wer then addressed by James Pulley our Rept, John A Clemeson, our states Atorney, Robert Hunley & John Cunningham & I am informed that they all made as strong secetion speaches as they were caipable of making & that they aided & assisted the 85 rebells & that some of them went with them to the Ohio river & saw them safely land in Paduch Ky on their way to Memphis Tenn to fite under Pillow & against our Country. <hr /> G. Garland I was in Marion on Yesterday the 28 inst & was informed that thes same pretious rascals were trying to form an otherer company with fair prospects of success, for Jeff Davis. & I was urged & pressed on all sides & by all parties to write to you & get you to thoroughly investigate the whole business & bring all of their leaders to justice for if you do not attend to this business & effectually put down treason here God only knows what will become of us down here in Southern Ill. The Union cause is now gainning ground here every day & we have almost a majority in this Co, but the Devils in human form do but little else but drink whiskey & hatch treason & if they were well treated according to their Crimes & be put where all traitors ought to be we would not only [have tried?] in Marion but would soon have a large majority of Union men in this Co. Do not understand me to say that I was an eye witness to the above statements but I can find men who were & I believe the evidence is abondant against them & can be procured when needed. I did here our States Atorney say that the last treason acts that our legislature passed could or would <hr /> not be enforced in this Co & our Clerk of our Circuit Cort agreed with him & I did here Jim Pully say about the middle of last april with an oath that he would vote for Dick Yates Malitia bill if he Yates or Lincoln would attempt to make Cairo a military point for if they did attempt to do so the railroad would be destroyed & the bridges torn up. I have their Marion section resolutions that they passed last April, but I cannot go in to particulars. Something must be done & that speadily, Can you send a rigiment to Marion & proclaim Martial law catch the ringleaders, take them where justice will be done them say Springfield & try them, if you cannot do these things cannot the Martial Mr Phillips bring a few companies with him, catch them & they be tryed in the u.s. district Cort for I do assure you that it would be worse than nonsense to try them in this Williamson Co.

Atilla Williamson Co Ill May 29th 1861 Hon Richard Yates Dear Sir I wrote to you on the 25th of last month about the traitors in our County seat & I now write to you again on the same subject by the urgent request of many union men boath Republicans & Democrats & we sincerely hope that you will thoroughly investigat the whole business & crush out treason at home as well as abraud. On the 25 inst a No of our Citizens in Marion met by agreement a No of others at Wardsvill about 9 miles south of town & formed a secetion company of 85 men, elected their officers & wer then addressed by James Pulley our Rept, John A Clemeson, our states Atorney, Robert Hunley & John Cunningham & I am informed that they all made as strong secetion speaches as they were caipable of making & that they aided & assisted the 85 rebells & that some of them went with them to the Ohio river & saw them safely land in Paduch Ky on their way to Memphis Tenn to fite under Pillow & against our Country. <hr /> G. Garland I was in Marion on Yesterday the 28 inst & was informed that thes same pretious rascals were trying to form an otherer company with fair prospects of success, for Jeff Davis. & I was urged & pressed on all sides & by all parties to write to you & get you to thoroughly investigate the whole business & bring all of their leaders to justice for if you do not attend to this business & effectually put down treason here God only knows what will become of us down here in Southern Ill. The Union cause is now gainning ground here every day & we have almost a majority in this Co, but the Devils in human form do but little else but drink whiskey & hatch treason & if they were well treated according to their Crimes & be put where all traitors ought to be we would not only [have tried?] in Marion but would soon have a large majority of Union men in this Co. Do not understand me to say that I was an eye witness to the above statements but I can find men who were & I believe the evidence is abondant against them & can be procured when needed. I did here our States Atorney say that the last treason acts that our legislature passed could or would <hr /> not be enforced in this Co & our Clerk of our Circuit Cort agreed with him & I did here Jim Pully say about the middle of last april with an oath that he would vote for Dick Yates Malitia bill if he Yates or Lincoln would attempt to make Cairo a military point for if they did attempt to do so the railroad would be destroyed & the bridges torn up. I have their Marion section resolutions that they passed last April, but I cannot go in to particulars. Something must be done & that speadily, Can you send a rigiment to Marion & proclaim Martial law catch the ringleaders, take them where justice will be done them say Springfield & try them, if you cannot do these things cannot the Martial Mr Phillips bring a few companies with him, catch them & they be tryed in the u.s. district Cort for I do assure you that it would be worse than nonsense to try them in this Williamson Co. I cannot mail this letter at Atilla my post office address for if I did it would pass through Marion & the post office there is in the hands of the traitors, Patrick Lang ought to be made P.M. at Marion immediately, he is not only a good Republican & union man but is responcible, honest & <hr /> & capible of discharging the duties of of a post Master, but whilst those traitors remain undisturbed he dare not recive the apointment for if he were to, it would cost him his life.

Title A name given to the resource Monticello College Collection Subject The topic of the resource Women's colleges Universities and colleges Monticello College Monticello Female Seminary Haskell, Harriet, 1835-1907 Illinois--Godfrey Godfrey, Benjamin, 1794-1862 Description An account of the resource Monticello College first began as the Monticello Female Seminary in 1838. Founded by Captain Benjamin Godfrey to provide education for women, the school offered two years of classes for attendees based on the idea that “if you educate a man you educate an individual; educate a woman and you educate a whole family.” Godfrey selected Reverend Theron Baldwin to serve as the first head of the Monticello Female Seminary. In 1867 Harriet Haskell became principal, a position she held until her death in 1907.  On November 4, 1888, a fire broke out in the building and consumed the entire structure. Ms. Haskell and the school's Board of Trustees successfully fundraised for a new building and rebuilt the school in two years. The school's leadership made the decision to close the school in 1970 with the final class graduating in 1971. Lewis and Clark Community College completed the purchase of the Monticello College campus in 1972.
