Washington D. C. June 26" 1865 Hon. Richard Yates, Jacksonville, Ill. Dr Sir: In the absence of my father - C. C. Gapen, Esq. of Lacon, Ill - I desire to acknowledge the receipt of the letter of Hon. Mr. Harlan to you, saying that your letter in my father's favor had been "placed on file for future reference." -- and, in addition to whatever my father may have said to you, to thank you for your kind. and strong effort in his behalf -- My father came to the conclusion that future reference meant so far in the future as to imply never, and so has returned to Illinois, where he may meet you. His children and friends were much disappointed in his failing to get a place here thro' the summer, as he is advancing in years, and, having been a life long soldier in the ranks of the Whig and Republican armies - always declining office, it was considered he was most worthy of a small pension for a short time, for his ever strong and ready efforts in the wars for principles. ---- In conversation with Mr. Browne - the Srgt at Arms of the Senate, he was informed that the appointments of doorkeepers [?] of the Senate were given through influence of the Senators & he inferred that his appointment then would and could come through you and he somewhat regretted that he had not asked you for a letter or the Srgt instead of Harlan, - but he would not trouble you further then as he might conclude to return here at the opening of Congress. Allow me to add that, my father and myself feel just as much obliged to you for your strong letter as though it had not failed in its object. I congratulate you upon your very flattering but deserving reception by the people of Illinois, and upon the return to their homes of so many of your friends, the brave soldiers of glorious Illinois.

Dear Sir, A gentleman well known to me informed me yesterday that in a conversation with one who was on Social terms with Mr. Daily your Dep'y Collector, Mr. D. said to him that though the salary was only ____ $ a year, yet he intended to make and would make $30.000. a year out of his office. I cannot say that Mr. Daley said this, but it came to me in such a way that I thought it right to mention it to you. Mr. D. cannot of course make $30.000. or anything but his salary out of his Office of Dep'y Collector without in some way defrauding the Government. Were he to do it, or attempt to do it, he might pofsibly succeed without detection, but the chances would be very much against (him) any one who should attempt such a thing, and <hr /> the consequences of detection would be very serious to him, if not to yourself. But I am unwilling to think that Mr. D. made any such remark - though at the same time I do not feel at liberty to withold from you what I heard. The information can do him no harm.

Ills. can come in for another slice. James L. Anderson went to Washington with the papers & filed them & offered to deposit our Bonds, but it was intimated to him that it would be of material advantage on July 1st to have your recommendation with Judge Trumbull & that Rushville in Schuyler County ought at least to have one Bank, that the amount of business <hr /> [June 16, 1865] done in our County demanded such an agency. Now as you personally know nearly all the men engaged in this enterprise we wish you to give us a letter to Secty McCullough to be used there on the first day of July embracing these points 1 that Rushville is the County-seat & center of business for the County. 2nd that the amount of money annually used in buying & packing Pork, & in the purchase & shipment of grain & other farm products & in manufacturing amounts to three or four hundred thousand dollars (Little & Roy annually use over 100,000 alone). 3rd that the business of the County demands the establishment of such a Fiscal Agency & 4th, The standing of the applicants for integrity, business capacity, & wealth, though this part is unnecessary as we have already ample testimonials on that point.
