Judge Advocate Office D.E. Chattanooga Tenn Decr 9 1864 His Excellency Hon Rich. Yates Dear Governor, This is the third letter I have written you within the past month, the first one I hope you have received, the second I fear is still within P.O at this Post, as one Genl Hood of the so called C.S.A. laid an embargo on our mails about that date - the date it was mailed. My second letter was instigated by a letter from my father enclosing yours concerning the speeches sent to my address at Tuscola. My father proposed unless otherwise directed to distribute your speeches, to see the member elect from Douglas & to do all in his power for you. Doubtless he has attended to the matter ere this. When I wrote before I intended & fully expected to be present at Springfield during the first days of our next Legislative Session but as all means <hr /> of reaching the "United States" within the life of an ordinary "Leave of absence" are cut off, I have given up all hopes of the honor and pleasure I thus promised myself. I will however do all I can with my pen & will write to several members elect & other prominent gentlemen today. With several members I am intimate & have considerable influence - with some perhaps as much as any citizen of Eastern Illinois. Have you a clear track? I have incidentally learned that Logan & Palmer both have their eyes turned towards the Senatorship. I don't know anything but I understand Palmer has "cleared for action." A little scrap of history in my brain says that Palmer threw his influence & vote against Lincoln and elected a slipery kind of gentleman in "Honest Old Abe's" stead in 1854. I think my memory's is correct too; and the reason was P & T had always been - Democrats! Though I was not born early enough to even vote a Whig ticket, I believe my love of the old whig principles and more particularly my abhorence of Democratic trickery & treachery will live as long as I have a being. <hr /> I write this letter having fears my second letter will not reach you in proper time. Is Laurence Weldon going to continue as def atty for an additional term? What are my chances for an honorable position as a civilian? If indifferent, how about a promotion in the army? I would like promotion in the Judge Advocate's Department. I have very considerable experience in that position. I will send this letter thro by an officer who is going to Indiana by way of Knoxville and Cumberland Gap. He is a member of the regiment I command at Chickamauga (81st 2nd Infy) & was wounded and captured during that battle. He is as escaped prisoner For the manner Govr in which I commanded that regiment during that battle & afterwards I am well known to many Indianans & particularly to Gov. Morton. I could easily have had the Colonelcy of that regiment if I had consented but I could not cut loose from my old regiment & with it my interests as an Illinoisan. I have been assured by Indiana officers that Gov. Morton spoke very complimentary of me for my conduct then & said he was sorry that I was not an Indianian as he would at once make me a Colonel & that if ever I asked for anything he would give his name to my papers. This I have from officers of that regiment & citizens from Indiana twelve months ago. I have never before spoken of this <hr /> matter but as it naturally arises on this occasion, I thought proper to do so, for if I ask any favor of the Government, it may be proper to ask Gov. Morton for a favor he would so graciously bestow. If a blockade is raised in the proper time I will try and be at Springfield as proposed.

It is my understanding that Geo. Rives (Collector of this Cong. Dist) has been kept in position by the influence of Dole and that the removal of Dole will necefsetate the removal of Rives. There is and has been a very strong purpose to get Rives out of office and with considerable probability - of succefs. Now My friend, if Rives does not go out I desire to fill the vacancy.

That I am some afraid that you might over look it, I write this for the purpose of ascertaining wether you received said communication and also to find out if you can as well as not secure his appointment. His Father is the right stripe, and loyal to the core Little Amos B - is here with his wife. Who is quite unwell, she came to receive medical treatment. They will probably remain here some 3 or 4 weeks, they are at the Tremont. I suppose you have heard eve this that Pitt K was married. Amos says it was rather a sudden move of Pitts.

Cairo Illinois Nov 26th 1863 Hon Rich Yates Dear Sir While the 87th Regt Ills Vols was at Shawneetown Ills and before we had any regular Surgeon or any medicine I contracted with a physician (Dr G N Barrett) to treat my men and he having no medicine of his own Mr G.W. Akers at the request of my Lt Col purchased a lot of medicines for the Regt in fact we were compelled to have the medicines and I therefore fully approved the action of my Lt Col in the matter and would have done as he did but for the fact that I was absent at the time. I am told by Mr Akers that there was an indisposition on the part of the proper officers to pay him even the money that he expended this is <hr /> a very great act of injustice to Mr Akers. At the time he bought the medicines for my Regt my Surgeon was at Chicago awaiting his regular turn to be examined and the consequence was that there was no other way by which we could procure the medicines No other person in Shawneetown would furnish them. Mr Akers informs me that Lt Hill allows a part of his bill only curtailing it $85.75 Mr Akers paid the whole amount in cash and if he cannot recover it his loss in cash will be the sum aforesaid. I presume from what I have heard that this is not the only act of injustice done by Lt Hill during his official [carrear?] Can nothing be done in the matter Please inform me In consequence of five months Sickness and for the reason that my Regt is reduced to the minimum No I have resigned my position <hr /> of Colonel and have just arrived at home.

The defeat of Marshall for Congress will render it unnecessary for an Executive appointment to fill the Office of Judge of this circuit. Besides I think the new Constitution is defeated and if so there will be no vacancy in any event. I am however under many obligations to you for your kind inten- tions in the matter There are many prominant Democrats of this part of the State who have been opposing the new Constitution in other counties But in this county they all worked together in favor of it. The vote stands as follows in this county for new Constitution 1088 against " 545 <hr /> For article entitled Banks 748 agt " " " 874 For Congressional apportionment 1093 agt " " 528 Yours Truly J E Whiting <hr /> J.

Paducah Ky. May 11th 1861 To His Excellency Gov. Yates Dear Sir I live in this place and have stood firm and unflinching for Lincoln and the government, for which I have been proscribed and my business much injured. My life has been threatened and me & my sons warned to leave but we don't expect to, unless Kentucky leaves the Union; in that case, who wants to stay in her? I am in the mercantile business in this town. I have one son married & farming in Massac Co. Ill. and two single ones here in Paducah. One is 21 years old & the other <hr /> nearly 19. All the property we have in the world is here. I have lived here over two years. I was raised in Burlington Co. New Jersey and lived there 35 years, and then in Philadelphia 10 years My sons were educated in the Philadelphia High School and have excellent educations. I see that your legislature have passed a [ten?] regiment bill. I would like to get a situation for myself and sons in the regiment from the Ninth District. I am not posted in Military affairs, but would like a post to furnish supplies or something of that kind. My sons could fill the office of clerks or would shoulder the musket. I refer you to the Hon. John C. Ten Eyck and Hon. <hr /> John L. N. Stratton, the former in the U.S. Senate and the latter in the House of Representatives from New Jersey. Their Post Office is Mount Holly Burlington Co. N.J. Please let me hear from you if anything can be done for us. By giving this a passing notice you will place under obligation, Your most Obedient Humble Servant J. E. Woodward [pd.
