Head Quarter, Western Department. Confidential September 18. 1861 Dear Governor That Blair and his friends, including the Postmaster General are determined to break down General Fremont, I have no doubt. Without entering into the merits of the question, I am prepared to say, that a removal of Fremont at the present time would be disastrous perhaps to an alarming extent. It would produce a Revolution almost in our own ranks. Gov. Morton, whom I saw yesterday is of the same opinion. Now if you have not done it already, I would in your place write the strongest sort of a letter to Lincoln. The Blairs are energetic sagacious and I am sorry to say implacable, and in this instance, strange as it may appear supported from the circumstances of the case, not of course by any assimilation, otherwise, by the quasi-Union- neutrality, secession faction of the Country Unless we counteract them by strong effort they may succeed. Now the Blairs are my friends <hr /> and they deserve great credit and deservedly for many thing; but in this crisis personal feelings must be often disregarded. I discovered that in my conversation with him since I came to head quarters, and after the Blair flare-up. He is impetuous, and will not budge an inch from what he deems to be right. So it appears to me. It may be an evidence of strength or weekness of character as events will develop. I have no special duty assigned to me as yet. Our conversations have been general, on politics, and also on military affairs. I cannot tell yet, if I can be of any particular use. Yours truly G Koerner <hr /> Gov. Koerner & Yates in reply.

Belleville January 31. 1862 Gov. R. Yates Dear Sir Yours of 29th received and I am very much obliged to you for your kind invitation. The condition of my distressed family however, as well as my own is still such that nothing but the most necessary business could induce me to leave home. It is my misfortune to receive a great many applications from friends and acquaintances for my interposition with you, the President, and almost any other person, who has patronage. Many I refuse, some I must attend to, as for instance one of Captain Abbots, a fellow lawyer, and an original Republican, who has been so very seriously wounded at Belmont. I enclose you his letter, and his claim appears to me to be well founded. As to Col. Ramming, I felt no personal interest. I have seen him but once or twice,, and I recommended him as Colonel in the Hecker Regiment, before he knew it. I only know him to be an able and accomplished officer, who as he is from Chicago, and has been Adjutant in the Regiment. I thought was an appointment for the good of the Regiment. I was aware that a compromise list had been submitted, as to supplying the officer, who had resigned, but that was when Hecker was still <hr /> Colonel; of course there could be no compromise about filling his place; and when last in Springfield on the 9 or 10th of this month Judge Fuller voluntarily advised with me about filling Heckers place, and I then mentioned Col. Ramming. But perhaps the appointment you have made, may be equally satisfactory, though I am certain that if it be one suggested by the Lt Gov it will be condemned, no matter who it is. He is just now so exceedingly unpopular amongst the Germans, not only on account of his very unfortunate failure, but principally because he tried to [screen?] himself against [suits?], by pleading his consular dignity, that every thing he touches turns to ashes. Our Belleville People are suffering heavily on account of getting no pay for what they furnished the troops here. The Democrats are making a great deal of capital out of it. They would take [bonds?] at 85. Something ought to be done for them. We are moderately poor here, and very patriotic, and the report is, that our folks have been postponed unjustly and rich contractors have been preferred. This is the Democratic version.

Belleville Sep 2. 1863. Dear Sir. I saw Genl Pope on Saturday last. While he professes to be very anxious that some Illinoisan should be on Fremont's staff, he admitted that he had never mentioned the matter to Fremont. There is but one way to get the matter effected and that is for you to see Fremont. If the President will make me Ass. Adj. Gen. with the Rank and pay of Col. I will take the place, if you can find no person better qualified. If Fremont requests this of the President, and you do also ask it, he will do it. It is nothing to me, but I will serve, if this opportunity is given to me. I have many applications to join my Regiment, but I take no companies unless I am satisfied that they are good ones. Col. Engleman is now on a tour of examination, so as not to be imposed upon,. I hope to form a Regiment “as is a regiment,” but it will take some time. We have a gentleman here, Fred. Von Schrader, a man of great property, brother in law of Breese, and the Morrisons, who has been a Cavalry officer, in the Prussian service, and is now Capt. of our homeguard cavalry. He seems to understand his business remarkably well. He was a strong Douglas Democrat, (in the Morrison interest, for he is not a politician.) <hr /> and his women folks are almost secessionists, though he is a warm Union man now. He would make a splendid Col. Of Cavalry, and if you have no other competent persons, I would advise you to call upon him. He has a large business here (Distilling) but I presume he would, if called upon, give his services to the Country. He is a perfect model of a Gentleman has nephews in the regular army, and is very intelligent. He has been [opposing?] me bitterly in fatalities, and I have no motive in recommending him, except the good of the State, as he is an accomplished cavalry officer. He has been in the County some twenty five years, and is perfectly familiar with the Country. Yours very truly G Koerner Gov Koener Miscelleous and recommending F. Von Schroeder.
