&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hon Richard Yates
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sir,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I see by the papers that our Government is about opening the different ports along the coast for the resumption of trade and for the purpose of preventing articles contraband of war from entering these various locations. Treasury Agents are to be appointed, to attend to that business, etc.  If it would not be asking too much from you I would like to occupy such a position "there is money in it" and I am desirous to make enough
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;of commodity to make and keep me comfortable. Will you do me the great personal favor, to write me and let me have your views on this subject and as time is a great object attend to it at your earliest convenience. If this position can be procured for me you will place me under the deepest obligation.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I sent your medal by mail and had it registered. Will you be kind enough to acknowledge the receipt of it.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Very Respectfully
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your Obdt Servt
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Isaac McBride
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Asst to Chief Coiner
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mint of the US
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Philad~
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Enclosed I send a few medals for distribution among your intimates.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;[illegible]
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I. McBride
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;May 20 '65
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sent letter recommending him to H Risley  for Treas Agent.

&lt;hr /&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;of commodity to make and keep me comfortable. Will you do me the great personal favor, to write me and let me have your views on this subject and as time is a great object attend to it at your earliest convenience. If this position can be procured for me you will place me under the deepest obligation.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;I sent your medal by mail and had it registered. Will you be kind enough to acknowledge the receipt of it.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;I am Sir&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Very Respectfully&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dec. 7. 1861
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gov. Richard Yates.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sir,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I this morning had a very satisfactory interview with Gen. McClelland in regard to the Lake defenses. I had already conferred with the President, the results of which I will communicate more at length, in a few days.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gen. McClelland, enquired how Illinois troops were armed &amp;amp; if we needed arms. I could only speak of those in Camp Douglas from personal knowledge. But he desired me to ask you to forward 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;through me a statement, Showing the wants of our troops, &amp;amp; how long since their organization, they had been destitute of arms, &amp;amp; he promised on its receipt to forward arms, &amp;amp; that Illinois should have her full share. They are arriving now, &amp;amp; I understand of excellent quality from [ahaad?]. Hoping to hear from you at an early day I am
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Very Truly Yours
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Isaac N. Arnold
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hon. I. N. Arnold
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Washington Dec 7
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lake defenses
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;arms for our troops.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Judge,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I want a copy of the Report of Troops (which you have furnished) with the number of arms needed to send directly to McClelland got up in the best style. Also one for Arnold Indeed it would pay if a clerk were kept busy for 10 days in getting up copies like the original furnished to send 1 to Lincoln 1 to Cameron, 1 to Chase 1 to Bates &amp;amp; 1 to Blair.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I believe I shall send the one I have to McClelland if you will send me the addendum of arms needed. To ascertain arms needed take the number of troops in camp - and state that when our agent Wolcott returns we will send him description of kind and quality of arms in the hands of soldiers in actual service.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Please return this by bearer as I wish to answer.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When in Springfield during the extra session I spoke to you about giving a friend of mine - indeed my nephew - Henry L Warren, a situation. He is a young man of a high order of talents, was partly educated at the [illegible] school - and is competent to fill with fidelity and honor a high station. Recently he has been elected Adjutent of the Regiment organized here, and of which Doc Bane is Col You will, of course,
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;commission him as such, but I desire to obtain for him a better situation and think him entitled to it. I appeal to you for it.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I also recommend Doc David McLeith, of Henderson Co, as a suitable person to be appointed Surgeon of a Rigement and hope he will be most favorably considered.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I do not know that my recommendations are entitled to any respect, but I must confess I have thought they were entitled to at
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;least as much as those who approved the positions and views I occupied and entertained while in Congress and since, until they found their hostility to the government would not do and then changed over. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A line from you in reply would oblige me
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For seven weeks I have been confined to my house and bed by sickness &amp;amp; can but just now hold a pen

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This will be handed to you by Thomas Geddes who appears to be the choice of the new Regiment now being organized in this City for Colonel.  I have known Col Geddes for twenty five years and can safely recommend him as in every respect worthy of a command. He has much experience as a military man - is capapable, honest, and worthy, and I hope he will be appointed
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Respectfully

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To His Excellency Richard Yates
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Governor of the State of Illinois
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Assistant Secretary to the Interior has decided against the claim of Illinois.  I am not disappointed in the decision for reasons which I shall hereafter explain to you and have prayed an appeal to the President, which I think he is bound to sustain.  I have his (the Presidents) opinion in writing, given a day or two after I arrived here, saying the law in his judgment, is with the State.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The decision of Judge Otto I do not regard as nonsensable, and shall proceed at once to serve it.  But a half an hour ago a copy of it was placed in my hands when I saw it for the first time.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yours respectfully,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;J.N. Morris
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Gov   Lile Nl  I.W.
Morris Hon J.N.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Washington  Aug 3 1863
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Assistant Secretary of the Interior has decided against the claims of Illinois - has made an appeal to the President which he thinks he is bound to sustain - has the Presidents opinion in writing, saying the law in his judgment, is with the State.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;The Assistant Secretary to the Interior has decided against the claim of Illinois. I am not disappointed in the decision for reasons which I shall hereafter explain to you and have prayed an appeal to the President, which I think he is bound to sustain. I have his (the Presidents) opinion in writing, given a day or two after I arrived here, saying the law in his judgment, is with the State.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;The decision of Judge Otto I do not regard as nonsensable, and shall proceed at once to serve it. But a half an hour ago a copy of it was placed in my hands when I saw it for the first time.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Yours respectfully,&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;I. N. Morris&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;hr /&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Gov File Nl&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Morris Hon I. N.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Washington Aug 3 1863&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
