&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir - I have your favor of 19th   You cannot speak too highly of Col. William Meyers  I consider him the first Officer of his class in the department  He has managed the important depot at St Louis with marked ability, and his labors and responsibilities have been immense
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Capt Chapman is a good Officer in a subordinate place.  He is not qualified for the head of the Forage Department, which under the new law will be a Bureau.  He is suited for the charge of a local branch and for this I have myself recommended him
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Very truly Yours

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir - I have your favor of 19th   You cannot speak too highly of Col. William Meyers  I consider him the first Officer of his class in the department  He has managed the important depot at St Louis with marked ability, and his labors and responsibilities have been immense
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Capt Chapman is a good Officer in a subordinate place.  He is not qualified for the head of the Forage Department, which under the new law will be a Bureau.  He is suited for the charge of a local branch and for this I have myself recommended him
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Very truly Yours
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;H W Allen

                  <text>David Davis, a lawyer, politician, distinguished jurist and businessman, was born in Maryland, educated at Kenyon College in Ohio, and studied law at Yale University. Davis married Sarah Woodruff Walker in 1838 and they had five children including George Perrin Davis and Sarah "Sally" Davis. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 1844, Davis won election as a Whig to the Illinois Legislature, and four years later was elected Judge of Illinois Eighth Judicial Circuit, where he served on the bench during Lincoln's remaining years as an attorney on the circuit. The two became close friends, and Davis worked diligently as Lincoln's campaign manager at the 1860 Republican nominating convention in Chicago. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 1862, President Lincoln appointed Davis to the United States Supreme Court, where Davis wrote the majority opinion in Ex parte Milligan, a landmark decision restricting the rights of military courts to try civilians. In 1877, he resigned from the court after being elected to the United States Senate by the Illinois Legislature. Davis served as Senate president pro tempore from 1881 to 1883, and was known unofficially as "Mr. Vice President." He retired from the Senate in 1883.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;Davis invested in real estate with De Witt County attorney, Clifton H. Moore, and became a man of considerable wealth. He had the distinction of being the largest landowner in Illinois. At the time of his death, June 26, 1886, his estate was valued between four to five million dollars-a huge fortune in his day.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The finding aid for the David Davis Family Papers at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum may be found at:&amp;nbsp;http://alplm-cdi.com/chroniclingillinois/items/show/165.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Photographs in this collection include portraits of several members of the David Davis and George P. Davis families. The collection also includes portraits of Judge Davis' law colleagues, images of Bloomington, Illinois, and photographs of miscellaneous buildings throughout the United States.</text>

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir:  Julius White Esq. of this City with several other influential friends in this City and vicinity is actively engaged in organizing a first class Regiment for service during the war.  From what I know of the men engaged in the movement I confident the Regiment will be in all respects one which will do honor to our State and I hope you will be so situated that they can be accepted and mustered at once into service  
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now is a time when our Country needs men and good men and without intending any disparagement to the Regiments already in the field I can assure you from personal knowledge that so far as I have any right to an opinion of military men or matters this proposed organization will contain the best elements which yet been turned out for the defense of our country.

                  <text>Henry Sadorus (1783-1878) and his family arrived in Champaign County, Illinois, in 1824, settling along the Kaskaskia River in what is today the town of Sadorus. Henry's son, William, platted out the town and made land donations for churches, a school, and a city jail.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;William (1812-1899) and his wife, Mary Ann, had five children live to adulthood including George Wade Bacon Sadorus (1838-1911) and Henry Washington Sadorus (1840-1927). George served in the 125th Volunteers during the Civil War and then returned to work the family farm. George's son Frank was a photographer whose collection is now held by the Illinois State Museum.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gov Yates
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I wish to return to the army. I was wounded at the battle of Stone River and discharged even before I had asked to be.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I carry two Secesh balls in my left hip but shall be able to take the field again if mounted. I can produce recommendations from competent officers acquainted with me that I am worthy and competent for a field officer. I have been in the thickest of three of the great battles of the day. Pea Ridge Perryville and Stone River and our old regiment (the 36th Ills) remains a wreck; its brave boys ly upon each of the above mentioned battlefields.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Should there be an opportunity to serve my Country in this or any 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;other capacity I am as ready as I was nearly two years since and should such a chanc offer I should be happy to furnish any recommendations desired until then I remain yours &amp;amp;c Wallace Benson
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Woodstock 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;West Henry Co
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Illinois 
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Wallace Benson
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Woodstock April 17th 1863.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Wishes to be appointed to some field Officer in the service says he carries two Secesh balls, in his hip, and hopes the Governor will remember him when an opportunity is offered.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Recd Ex O. April 20th 1863.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gov Yates
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I wish to return to the army. I was wounded at the battle of Stone River and discharged even before I had asked to be.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I carry two Secesh balls in my left hip but shall be able to take the field again if mounted. I can produce recommendations from competent officers acquainted with me that I am worthy and competent for a field officer. I have been in the thickest of three of the great battles of the day. Pea Ridge Perryville and Stone River and our old regiment (the 36th Ills) remains a wreck; its brave boys ly upon each of the above mentioned battlefields.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Should there be an opportunity to serve my Country in this or any 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;other capacity I am as ready as I was nearly two years since and should such a chanc offer I should be happy to furnish any recommendations desired until then I remain yours &amp;amp;c Wallace Benson
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Woodstock 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;West Henry Co
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Illinois 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Woodstock April 17th 1863.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Wishes to be appointed to some field Officer in the service says he carries two Secesh balls, in his hip, and hopes the Governor will remember him when an opportunity is offered.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Recd Ex O. April 20th 1863.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hon Jesse K Dubois  
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I arrived here day before yesterday in good health, but found a great deal of sickness in my command.  I have moved my camp and hope that he approaching cool weather will work an improvement –
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On my way down I learned from one of the adjutants of the 6th Cavalry, that there were at Springfield 400 carbines, if this is true I am extremely anxious that they be sent to my regiment – His statement was that  800 had been recd and that his Regt had drawn 400.  The latter part of the statement I know is true -
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Will you add to the many
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;obligations you have placed me under, by ascertaining if they are still on hand, and if possible, having them sent to me.    I failed to get anything in the way of arms at St. Louis--
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Although I hate the language of complaint, I cannot but think my command has been strangely neglected in the matter of arms.  And I hope that the State authorities will interest themselves in adding to the efficiency of my command by assisting in this regard.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yours very sincerely
H Wilson Col  
5th Cav Ills Vols
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ans. Sep. 3.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Col. H. Wilson.
Helena, Ark, Aug. 27
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Wants arms.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It will facilitate the labors of this board, if you will direct that the address of candidates for examination be in each case appended to the order when it is issued from your office, as this Board has no means of obtaining the address in many cases where they desire it.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Very Respectfully
