Tuscola Aug. 17th AD1865 Gov. Yates- Dear sirs- I am among the few, who has sought faithfully in the ranks of the Republican party since its organization in 1856, for the good of the party & the country without asking any favors in return from those for whom I have labored to my own fiduciary hurt; but now, I feel like a favor in the way of an appointment from "Uncle Sam" would come handy, & knowing no other way of getting at it only through my friends & those for whom I have spent my time, business, & means; I make this [plieation?] to you for help. The war has ruined the legal profession for the time being. & I have sacrificed nearly all I had in the cause of my country as you are aware-& now, if you can con- sistently with a sense of duty, procure for me an ap- pointment that some money in it, I shall be ten thousand times obliged, & shall moreover, stand ready in the future as in the past, to rally around any Standard borne by you for the sufferage of the nation. This plain talk with out flattery. And if I cant talk plainly to you, I dont want to talk at all. I would prefer, if I could get it, an appointment in some one of the Territories, as I should like to help <hr /> shape the political future of some of those infant states. Though, I will accept any position that will be remunerative, if I can get it. I am not prepared to ask for any thing in particular because I dont know what places are open, or may be open. But supposing that you have an eye on these things, & can exert an influence [infor?] of any thing you ask for. I submit the whole matter to you, for your decision. I think I can get Brownwell & Moulton to lend their influence in favor of any thing that may be undertaken in my behalf. If any thing could be secured from which we could derive a mutual benefit, it would meet my aprobation. If all the places are filled by men more deserving than myself, then I want nothing. Will you have the kindness, Gov. to let me hear from you on this Subject?

Camden, Maine, Aug 17/65 Mr. Yates, Dear Sir: Amid the multiplicity of your public cares, possibly you may nearly have forgotten your little friend Sarah Wallace of Washington memory. If so, this may serve to remind you of her, who under her other name S. W. Chapin, and through this sermon would introduce you to her husband. Among the exciting public events of the past four years, we have often read your name with pleasure as first and foremost of the loyal in the land for the suppression of wrong and the establishment of the right. I have only time to add that we reside in a pleasant town on the Penobscot Bay - quite a watery place at this season of the year. <hr /> Should you ever feel the need of a bit of sea air to restore your wasted energies, you will find a cordial welcome from us both for yourself and Mrs. Gates. Accept our kind regards for yourself and wife. Cordially your friend S. W. Chapin Mrs S. W.

Head-Quarters Military Agent Western Department. Louisville, Ky, August 17th 1865 Hon. Richard Yates, M.C. Jacksonville, Ill. Dear Sir, Your favor of the 12th inst. in reply to my application for Chaplain McNeill is this day received. Also the inclosure, your speeches. For the last, accept my warmest thanks. I have never read a poor speech yet from the same author, and I have never read two which have given me greater pleasure than these I have just read. In your speech at Jacksonville, your thrilling sentences ring like a [bright?] blast, til in the reading, I felt every nerve in my body tingle. I can only wish I could have heard your voice pronounce those noble [illegible]. I hope I may yet enjoy the pleasure (it may be next winter) of listening to you. For your kind accession to my request for our dear good McNeill, I give you a thousand thanks, on his behalf, as well as my own. He is a noble <hr /> man, and dear sir, you have no truer friend or warmer supporter living, than is he. He has been a noble friend to our soldiers here, and for that I love him. It is through you, sir, indirectly it is true, but it is through you, that I have the position I now occupy. And from from my heart, I thank you, for I am in a position to do more [real?] good in one week, than I could otherwise do in almost a lifetime. I do not say that I do it, but, I have the opportunity. Had I never received a commission from his Excellency Governor Yates, I should have had this opportunity. I try to improve it. Of one thing permit me to assure you, it is the love of the noblest of the noble, the bravest of the brave - the Illinois soldiers. Thousands have passed through my hands here, and the word 'love' best <hr /> expresses the universal sentiment and hold you have upon their hearts. They know and love you as the soldier's friend. The opportunity will present itself in the halls of Congress, when you can do much for these men, who have stood for four long years, with glistening bayonets, like a wall of fire, between dissolution of the South, and our own happy hearth stones, you can be a power for good to these men. I need to ask you to do it. Among many flattering notices of my humble services, which find their way into the papers, I have cut one which I inclose, because you will know its worth, knowing its author. Please accept the assurance on my highest regard, and in the future as in the past, my humble, but nonfailing support. Ever and truly yours, W. D. B.

H. Reed who formerly edited the Aledo Record he requests me to obtain a house for him as he has purchased an interest in the "Monmouth Atlas" and is coming to take the Editorial Chair on the 1st of September -- The "Atlas" will shake off its lethargy and give some signs of vitality when Reed resumes that "mighty instrument of <hr /> little men" -- it will not be to the "Monmouth Review" (which is, if possible more vile than the Chicago Times) a "grey goose quill" but one of well tempered steel whose strokes it will sorely feel and feeling, writhe but writhe in vain -- Reed has been farming for about two years -- is satisfied with the experience and has returned cheerfully to his old vocation -- Respectfully Your Obedt Servt James Henderson <hr /> With James Henderson letter 8/17/65 (Union Men Warren Co.)

Monmouth 17th Aug 1865 Hon Richard Yates Dear Sir Please find enclosed the list you wish -- it is as full as I can give it without further delay -- some names familiar to you I have omitted for that reason -- Not having the addrefs of Col Ferry I take the liberty of enclosing my letter to him -- I received a letter by the last mail from our friend J. H. Reed who formerly edited the Aledo Record he requests me to obtain a house for him as he has purchased an interest in the "Monmouth Atlas" and is coming to take the Editorial Chair on the 1st of September -- The "Atlas" will shake off its lethargy and give some signs of vitality when Reed resumes that "mighty instrument of <hr /> little men" -- it will not be to the "Monmouth Review" (which is, if possible more vile than the Chicago Times) a "grey goose quill" but one of well tempered steel whose strokes it will sorely feel and feeling, writhe but writhe in vain -- Reed has been farming for about two years -- is satisfied with the experience and has returned cheerfully to his old vocation -- Respectfully Your Obedt Servt James Henderson <hr /> With James Henderson letter 8/17/65 (Union Men Warren Co.)
