&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have a son, who represents me in the Army, and whose time expired on the 2d of this month but is staying by request until the 15th of next month. I want him to fight the thing out and have written to him to that effect. He will call at your office on his way from New Orleans if he gets my letter in time and if you can place him in some situation mutually satisfactory you will oblige as loyal a man as ever left England for this country
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;truly Yours

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Before Petersburg, Va. Sep. 10. 1864
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gov. Yates.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Pardon me if this is intruding upon your time which is no doubt occupied with business of more importance. My business is for others, more deeply concerned
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Com. men that enlisted in August 1862 as recruits. to fill up old regiments under the Presidents call of that year for six hundred thousand. be mustered out this fall. at the expiration of the original three years of service. and where the regiment has reenlisted. If they cannot, there are several in the Reg. that claim they have been wronged: in regard to the way they were recruited and can make false enlistment &amp;amp;c.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Was detailed on recruiting service aug, 1862. had verbal orders from Capt Philips and Lieut Savage. that were said to come from Col Morrison who was then Supt of recruiting service. to encourage enlistment and to enlist men for the unexpired time of the Reg. all men so enlisting would receive $100 bounty. 25 in advance and to be mustered out when the Regiments were, at the time there was better enducements for some to go in new Regiments and take a large county bounty then offered But some men thought that the difference of time to serve by going in an old regiment would be an offsett against the bounty then offered by the state and counties. But the cases that I am speaking for are these I enlisted James S. Hendrix and Anthony Farrance
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;in aug. 1862. and the conditions that they enlisted. were that they should be mustered out the 11th day of oct. 1864, the time the regiment would of been mustered out had they not reenlisted. I had orders from my superiors officers then to enlist men on such conditions, now these men claim that they should be mustered out this 11th oct. as they were deprived the privilege of reenlisting as veterans last winter. if they cannot be mustered out they claim they can make a false enlistment. their papers were made out like all others for three years for we could not and there was no orders to enlist men for less than the above time, only to enlist them as recruits and to be mustered out with the regiments
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Slgle, D H
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Soldier
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have heard that such orders were only applicable to Mass. state troops. if so the men have been wronged hoping that this case may be looked into I close by subscribing myself your most obedient
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Servant

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gov Yates.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yesterday our County Convention met and put up our Union Republican Candidates for this County and a poor out they made in selecting men for the legislature.  Feeling intensely anxious that you should be elected to the U. S. Senate, I am more or less mortified about it.  I do not say that the ticket &lt;u&gt;cannot&lt;/u&gt; be elected, for all the balance of it is strong, the one weak spot being the representatives, yet I told some of the delegates yesterday "if you put up those two, we're beat."  The convention nominated Col John Thomas and Nathl. Niles.  The first named was elected to the last legislature as I understand, by about &lt;u&gt;six&lt;/u&gt; majority, falling behind his colleague Jo. Underwood.  Both of them were members of our County Court that saddled this county with an enormous debt in making a very poor job in building our Court House. But we can but hope for the best, meanwhile God bless old Abe, and his fighting Generals and Admirals that are now &lt;u&gt;ratifying&lt;/u&gt; (s) Chicago.  May they go on conquering and to conquer till the last armed rebel is laid low, and, till their coadjutors lately assembled at Chicago are politically dead and buried, so deep, that sounding line and plummet never can reach them.  
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Very Truly

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;His Excellency R. Yates,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gov of the State of Ill
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My Dear Sir:
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On my return this morning from the East, where I was for several weeks detained by sickness in my family, I find that your Excellency did me the honor, on the 16th ult. to write me, asking my cooperation in the work of raising a regiment for the defense of the State.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So long a time has elapsed since the date of your letter that I probably shall not have the pleasure of aiding in the good work to which you call me &amp;amp; which I regret I was not at home to promptly undertake.  Still something may yet remain to be done &amp;amp; I now write to inquire if at this late day I can be of any service &amp;amp; to offer my hearty cooperation.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Meanwhile without waiting for a reply I shall immediately consult reliable friends here and engage their cooperation, in the work of 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;of securing men, if they should be needed.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As you speak of our having "an enemy in our midst, as dangerous as the rebel in open arms", I venture, I hope not presumptuously, to express my own apprehension that the catch words of certain politicians for "a free election or a free fight" are now for the purpose of preparing their followers for a violent &amp;amp; revolutionary assault at the polls on Election day under the pretense that the Government does not intend to allow a free Election.  Perhaps these are groundless apprehensions but I cannot dispossess my mind of them, though I have heard of no one expressing similar opinions, I rest however in the hope that so far as our State is concerned, if there is danger, your vigilance and energy will not be at fault.  But I fear the National authorities are not awake to the dangers that exist, &amp;amp; that consequences far more serious &amp;amp; lasting than mobs &amp;amp; local emeutes may result.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Most Respectfully Yours
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Geo. J. King
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;His Excellency R. Yates,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gov of the State of Ill
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My Dear Sir:
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On my return this morning from the East, where I was for several weeks detained by sickness in my family, I find that your Excellency did me the honor, on the 16th ult. to write me, asking my cooperation in the work of raising a regiment for the defense of the State.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So long a time has elapsed since the date of your letter that I probably shall not have the pleasure of aiding in the good work to which you call me &amp;amp; which I regret I was not at home to promptly undertake.  Still something may yet remain to be done &amp;amp; I now write to inquire if at this late day I can be of any service &amp;amp; to offer my hearty cooperation.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Meanwhile without waiting for a reply I shall immediately consult reliable friends here and engage their cooperation, in the work of 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;of securing men, if they should be needed.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As you speak of our having "an enemy in our midst, as dangerous as the rebel in open arms", I venture, I hope not presumptuously, to express my own apprehension that the catch words of certain politicians for "a free election or a free fight" are now for the purpose of preparing their followers for a violent &amp;amp; revolutionary assault at the polls on Election day under the pretense that the Government does not intend to allow a free Election.  Perhaps these are groundless apprehensions but I cannot dispossess my mind of them, though I have heard of no one expressing similar opinions, I rest however in the hope that so far as our State is concerned, if there is danger, your vigilance and energy will not be at fault.  But I fear the National authorities are not awake to the dangers that exist, &amp;amp; that consequences far more serious &amp;amp; lasting than mobs &amp;amp; local emeutes may result.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Most Respectfully Yours
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Geo. J. King
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Springfield
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We send you a Petition of citizens of Kansas Tp. in reference to the injustice of Drafting our Tp. Kansas with Grandview for 47 men as reported delinquent by Mr Fithian. - our Tp has been and is now unconditionally Loyal, and we have all taken an active part heretofore to get men to enlist in the army of the United States, and Grandview has been intensely Disloyal and has discouraged volunteering from the first breaking out of the war, the Consequence is with a Smaller population in Kansas Tp than Grandview we have sent two or three soldiers to the army, to their (Grandview) one, we now ask you in the name of the Loyal people of Kansas Tp to have our sub-district changed and let each Tp stand upon its own bottom
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Please let me hear from you soon on this subject.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Very truly Your friend
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Asa J. Baber

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Kansas, Ills. Sept 9th 64
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Complains of unfairness in combining Kansas Tp. with Grandview. for Draft purposes Says that Kansas is strictly Loyal &amp;amp; has always encouraged enlistments while Grandview is disloyal &amp;amp; consequently has not furnished her quota.  He as the Govr to have its district charged. so that "each Tp shall stand on its own bottom"
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Answd Sept 14th 1864.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Springfield
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We send you a Petition of citizens of Kansas Tp. in reference to the injustice of Drafting our Tp. Kansas with Grandview for 47 men as reported delinquent by Mr Fithian. - our Tp has been and is now unconditionally Loyal, and we have all taken an active part heretofore to get men to enlist in the army of the United States, and Grandview has been intensely Disloyal and has discouraged volunteering from the first breaking out of the war, the Consequence is with a Smaller population in Kansas Tp than Grandview we have sent two or three soldiers to the army, to their (Grandview) one, we now ask you in the name of the Loyal people of Kansas Tp to have our sub-district changed and let each Tp stand upon its own bottom
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Please let me hear from you soon on this subject.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Very truly Your friend
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Asa J. Baber
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Kansas Ills
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Kansas, Ills. Sept 9th 64
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Complains of unfairness in combining Kansas Tp. with Grandview. for Draft purposes Says that Kansas is strictly Loyal &amp;amp; has always encouraged enlistments while Grandview is disloyal &amp;amp; consequently has not furnished her quota.  He as the Govr to have its district charged. so that "each Tp shall stand on its own bottom"
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Answd Sept 14th 1864.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To His Excellency, Governor Yates.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The period for which we enlisted (one hundred days) expired yesterday. During that time we have done cheerfully, all the duty which has been required of us, and now we desire to be mustered out of the service. This is the unanimous sentiment of the Regiment, and as a Regiment we have so informed our officers. Knowing as we do that hundred days troops from other States have been promptly mustered out of service at the expiration of their time we know of no reason why the troops from Illinois should be dealt with in a less equitable manner.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The officers in command tell us they are waiting for orders but do not know at what time we shall be ordered home. We do therefore as citizens of Illinois appeal to you as our Governor to use your influence in our behalf and secure our discharge from service soon as possible.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Very Respectfully
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your Ob't Serv'ts

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Our Township (Kansas) being in a Sub-District with Grandview Township for Enrollment and Draft, and where as Kansas Township having a smaller population than Grandview, has furnished a great many more soldiers to the Army than Grandview has we think two or three, to their one. If we have got the proper credits at the Adjutant Generals Office Now we the Undersigned Citizens of Kansas Township wish to be separated from Grandview in the impending and all future Drafts; And do hereby petition your Honor to lay our case before the proper military authoritys at once, and if possible give us the benefit of the new enrollment Law; that each township will furnish their own quota taking into account the number which has been previously furnished therefrom.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;After receiving yours of 20th Augt I had determined to exert myself to fill up my old Regt in order that I might again go into the field, but I have just learned that you have promoted J M Cribs to the position which I was seeking to again occupy if it is true I of course shall feel no interest in recruiting for that Regt (87th Ills)
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I shall be in Springfield in a few days and would be pleased to see you as well as some other of our friends.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yours Truly
