State of Illinois Executive Department. Springfield Dec. 9th 1861. Capt. A. R. Eddy, U. S. Q. Master Springfield Dear Sir. Your favor of Nov. 9th (received during the early stage of protracted indisposition, from which I am just now recovering,) has been fully considered. I informed you verbally shortly after the receipt of your letter, that I was awating certain information upon the subject of clothing our troops. That information I have received, and now notify you, that the State will continue to supply her troops with clothing, and horse equipments. The State Q. Master General has been instructed to purchase such supplies, and has already made purchases upon terms most advantageous to the troops <hr /> and favorable to the United States. I avail myself of the right, conferred by Act of Congress upon each State, to furnish such supplies, because I think this State can better provide for her troops. That you would do your duty in such a service I have no dout, yet our State Qarter Master (General John Wood) has become so thoroughly acquainted with the condition and wants of our scattered regiments, takes so deep an intrest in them, and has so far given such abundant satisfaction to the authorities at Washington and of this State, in the clothing heretofore furnished both as to quality and price, as to satisfy me that he ought to be continued in the performance of this duty.

State of Illinois Executive Department Springfield, Nov. 14th, 1861 Hon S. Cameron Sec of War Dear Sir Before I left for Washington on my late visit there, I promised Gov.

Hoffman (the present Lieutenant Governor, a most noble German) not doubting that at least his Regiment would be accepted, went on to raise men at much expense and trouble until he informs me he soon would be full. May I not hope that you will authorize me to accept his Regiment. <hr /> I am in this trouble about the matter. You authorized Col Bell of Chicago to raise a Regiment subject to my organization &c.

Quartermaster Office Springfield Ill Nov 9 61 His Excellency Richard Yates Gov Ills Dear Sir As you are aware I was ordered to this station to take charge of the Quartermaster Department & of all the expenditures incident to it. The Department is still in the hands of the State because it is supposed (as I am lead to believe from several conversations with the State authorities) she can and will take better care of her troops than the U.S. I consider myself on duty here for the expected benefit of the Illinois Vols & if the Q.M. Dept. were in my hands I should consider myself bound to answer all proper requisitions made by you for their comfort, and in their care where the U.S. could not give the assistance required, owing to want of necessary law or regulations the State [illegible] still have <hr /> it in her power to give it, and the more easily, if she were relieved from the pecuniary obligation that her present position necessitates. If the wants of the State so far as my Department is concerned, are supplied by me it does not prevent you from appointing as many agents, as you may deem proper, to see that the Illinois troops are properly cared for no matter where they may be stationed & their agents would be of great assistance in furthering the objects of the Federal Government. I am willing to take the contracts, that have been made by the State, for all Quartermaster supplies, through Q.M. General [Ward?] presuming them to be reasonable & in compliance with regulations, this remark more particularly applies to the clothing contract as I have personally examined the clothing & find it up to the Army standard. I will also take the supplies on hand, if good enough for the troops, paying for them what the State paid, and I am further willing to send the supplies wherever you may desire and would be pleased if you sent your own agents with them to see that your wishes <hr /> are complied with. The duties of my department are particularly specified in paragraphs 1064-65 of the revised regulations. I beg your Excellency to understand that I recommend the transfer of the Q.M. Department to my hands solely from a sense of duty to the U.S. and a desire to do all in my power "to assist the State Authorities" Resfy Yr Servt A. R. Eddy A.Q.M. P.S. I have to acknowledge the reception of a note last evening from you through Judge Thomas and to assure you that though the money referred to was turned over to me unconditionally, it will be expended by me to reimburse the State of Illinois in accordance with my instructions. I extremely regret that the money was directed by the Federal Authorities to be put in my possession.

I replied by telegraph that I could not accept though I regretted it very much. It would be improper for me to dismiss so flattering an offer from your Excellency without explaining my reason for so doing. The regiment to which I have belonged since the beginning of this war is being converted into a light-artillery regiment. The work we have undertaken is a very great one, and will demand the united efforts of all engaged in it. Therefore, although my position in the regiment is a subordinate one, I do not feel at liberty to abandon it for the sake of promotion.

Dear Sir, In reply to your favor of the 9th instant I would say that I have no knowledge of the Mr. [Creamer?] to whom you refer and have given him no orders to arm or disarm any party of your community but I will not disguise the fact that having received reliable information that bands of disloyal men have made unlawful [combinations?] and formed secret organizations with the avowed purpose of subverting the Government of the United States; I have taken measures to furnish good reliable men with arms and ammunition with which to protect the friends of the Union against the unprovoked assaults which have been made upon them on account of their loyalty to the best government the world ever saw. This infamous rebellion must be put down, the supremacy of law must be maintained and to this end the most (over) <hr /> vigorous measures must be used against traitors abroad and at home and abroad, those in our midst being by far the most formidable.
