This must be advanced from time to time as the services are performed as the officers will not act without. I do not know whether you can be admitted an attorney of the Federal Court in your absence or not; nor is it material, as the business can be done in our names. Thinking it may aid you a little, I send you one of our blank forms of Petitions. It, you will see, is framed to be sworn to before the Federal Court Clerk, and in your cases will have be so far changed, as to be sworn to before the clerk of your circuit court and by his certificate must be accompanied by his officers seal. The schedules too, must be attended to. Be sure that they contain the creditors names, their residences, the amounts due each, the debtors <hr /> names, their residences, and the amount they owe, also all property and where located. Also be sure that the schedules are signed by the applicants as well as the Petition. Publication will have to be made here in one paper, and in one nearest the residences of the applicant.

Springfield Ills Feb. 16 - 1842 G.B. Shelody Esqr Yours of the 10th is duly received. Judge Logan & myself are doing business together now and we are willing to attend to your cases as you propose. As to the terms, we are willing to attend each case you prepare and send us for $10 (where there shall be no apportion) to be sent in advance, or you to know that that it is safe. It takes $5.75 of cost upon, that is, $1.75 to clerk, and $2 to each of two publishers of papers. Judge Logan thinks it will take the ballance of $20 to carry a case through. This must be advanced from time to time as the services are performed as the officers will not act without. I do not know whether you can be admitted an attorney of the Federal Court in your absence or not; nor is it material, as the business can be done in our names. Thinking it may aid you a little, I send you one of our blank forms of Petitions. It, you will see, is framed to be sworn to before the Federal Court Clerk, and in your cases will have be so far changed, as to be sworn to before the clerk of your circuit court and by his certificate must be accompanied by his officers seal. The schedules too, must be attended to. Be sure that they contain the creditors names, their residences, the amounts due each, the debtors <hr /> names, their residences, and the amount they owe, also all property and where located. Also be sure that the schedules are signed by the applicants as well as the Petition. Publication will have to be made here in one paper, and in one nearest the residences of the applicant. Write us in each case where this last advertisement is to be sent - whether to you or to what paper. I believe I believe I have now sent everything that can be of any advantage.

Springfield, March 7 1843 Friend Bennett: Your letter of this day was handed me by Mr. Miles. It is too late now to effect the object you desire. On yesterday morning the [most?] of the whig members from this District got together and agreed to hold the convention at Tremont in Tazewell county. I am sorry to hear that any of the whigs of your county, or, indeed of any county should [illegible] be against conventions. On last Wednesday evening a meeting of all the whigs then here from all parts of the State was held, and the question of the propriety of conventions was brought up and fully discussed and at the end of the discussion, a resolution recommending the system of conventions to all the whigs of the State, was unanimously adopted. Other Resolutions also were passed, all of which will appear in the next Journal. The meeting also appointed a committee to draft an <hr /> address to the People of the State, which address will also appear in the next Journal. In it, you will find a brief argument in favor of conventions; and although I wrote it myself, I will say to you that it's conclusive upon the point that it can not be reasonably answered. The right way for you to do, is to hold your meeting and appoint delegates anyhow; and if there be any who will not take part, let it be so. The matter will work so well this time that even they who now oppose will come in next time. The convention will be held at Tremont on the 5th April, and according to the rule we have adopted your county is to have two delegates---being double the number of your representatives. If there be any good why who disposed still to stick out against conventions, get him at least to read the argument in their favor in the address. Yours as ever A.
