If not asking too much, please address me at Abingdon Knox Co. Ill. <hr /> Gen Hardin has made application through State Cen Com. to Stanton. If you are writing to that department, please drop a word seconding the request. Your Obt servant. M. L. Haney Chaplain 55th Ill. Vol. <hr /> Harney. M. L. Springfield.

Decatur Ill. Sep 15 1864 His excellency Gov Richard Yates Hon. Sir: Having just received through your hands an order from the Hon. Sec. of War, removing the disability resulting from my dismissal in Sept last, and thus leaving me again free to act. I avail myself of this early opportunity to ask your Excellency's interposition in getting authority from the Secretary of War, to raise a command in this State for service in the field. I have numerous offers of men, both Veterans mustered out of Service and Citizens who desire to go in a command under me. <hr /> I can raise in a very short period of time a regiment of Soldiers who have served 3 years and over and by Connecting with them citizens three or four Regiments. As I have been unfortunate in getting wounded and in my dismissal I beg this privilege either for one of three years Service, believing that I can be of some use in the service in putting down this "unholy rebellion" I pray your aid in getting me this permission.

Toulon, Illinois, Sept 15th 1864 -- His ExY. Richard Yates Springfield Ill. Dear Sir: Four years ago, I wrote to you, requesting you to make an appointment at Toulon, in that memorable "Wide Awake" Campaign, and I promised you a tremendous crowd. - Gov came; and so did the people, and Little Mollie Stark rolled up at that time 505 majority for Lincoln, Yates and the entire ticket.- Another Election equal if not greater in importance is approaching, and we are still a doubtful district.- Stark must once more overcome, Democratic Peoria's (which she failed to do last Nov) or unloose two Representatives and perhaps a U. S. senator.- Can you meet the people of Stark - as early in the campaign as possible - and bring out such a crowd as no other man can. and help us secure two Representatives who will help to send you to the Senate in the place of another "Dick" who now disgraces our State by occupying a seat there.- We have not heard from "Tom" since the Evacuation of Atlanta.- at last dates from him he was suffering with Diarrhea and was much reduced by it. but was trying to do his duty.- Let me <hr /> hear from you as soon as convenient as to whether, and, when - you can be here. When I will be glad to meet you. if I am not in the mean time "grafted into the army"- With great Respect and Esteem I am truly Yours James A. Henderson <hr /> Henderson Jas.
