Chicago Decr 3rd /64 Hon Richard Yates Governor, Dear Sir, I recd an answer to your letter to Comr Lewis---& after acknowledging the recpt---says--- "It would afford me much pleasure to furnish you the statement desired, but I regret to be obliged to say that the returns made to this office, furnish neither the number or Capacity of the distilleries, and we have no data from which any estimate of either can be made." Now what do you think of the head & center of the Internal revenue department---who had no data of the number or capacity of that department of manufacturers---from which the Govt expects, to derive the largest portion of revnue does it not show that the interests of Govt under such a head---are & will be subject to great losses from swindling, by & through false returns---& no returns at all? Such a man should not retain his position a day after Congress meets---for he not only causes the Govt to loose largely from reasons above. but Each & evry <hr /> State must become loosers---to a greater or less Extent---from the lack of information & of ability to use information subject to his call, for the benefit of Govt. The less the the Genl Govt collects, of revinue desired from the privelege given to the Distiller of Whiskey, the more will have to be collected by direct taxation on the labor of the Country---for all will acknowledge that in what ever way the direct tax is laid---that the most of it finaly comes from labor. Washburn was here this week & much to my surprise--- I understand he anounces himself as candidate for, of right your place. I trust he may be disaponted---& that you may not. I understand from Democrats---that they intend forming any combination they can---in order to defeat you---prehaps Logan may trouble you with my best wishes for your success. I am, Yours truly on call J. J. Richards <hr /> Hon Richards J. J. Chicago Dec 3d/1864 Has received an answer to the letter you wrote Commdr Lewis, which states that he has no data from which to furnish the information asked. What do you think of such a report from one occupying such a position? Should he not be removed as soon as Congress meets? Thinks he will do the Gov't, more harm than good.

Hennepin Augst 18th 1862 Hon Richard Yates Gov of Ills. Dear Sir, I have recently learned that my friends here- by petition, have asked your influence in securing for me a Chaplaincy in the army. It occured to me that they were rather indefinite, as they did not name any Col, or regiment to whom or which they wanted you to apply. I would therefore suggest that you use your influence first with Col Sloane of Chicago. Mr Owen Lovejoy I believe has a paper similar to the one you <hr /> received & has promised to use his influence in the Same direction. I am not particular, however, what regiment I go into, or where I am called. I would prefer a Hospital to the field so far as comfort is concerned, but am willing to serve my Country any where. If you consider the papers forwarded you a sufficient recomendation. you may consider me a Candidate for the post of Chaplaincy at any time & place one may be wanted. I am Sir, Most respectfully yours, J. L. Harris <hr /> Ansd Sept 20-62 J. L. Harris, Hennepin, Aug. 18. Wants a Chaplaincy; would prefer Col. Sloan's (Chicago) Regt; but would take any.

Hennepin Augst 18th 1862 Hon Richard Yates Gov of Ills. Dear Sir, I have recently learned that my friends here- by petition, have asked your influence in securing for me a Chaplaincy in the army. It occured to me that they were rather indefinite, as they did not name any Col, or regiment to whom or which they wanted you to apply. I would therefore suggest that you use your influence first with Col Sloane of Chicago. Mr Owen Lovejoy I believe has a paper similar to the one you <hr /> received & has promised to use his influence in the Same direction. I am not particular, however, what regiment I go into, or where I am called. I would prefer a Hospital to the field so far as comfort is concerned, but am willing to serve my Country any where. If you consider the papers forwarded you a sufficient recomendation. you may consider me a Candidate for the post of Chaplaincy at any time & place one may be wanted. I am Sir, Most respectfully yours, J. L. Harris <hr /> Ansd Sept 20-62 J. L. Harris, Hennepin, Aug. 18. Wants a Chaplaincy; would prefer Col. Sloan's (Chicago) Regt; but would take any.
