Springfield Ill Sept 5"/64 To his Excellency, Governor Yates. We The undersigned citizens of Wardford Co. have been appointed by the citizens of the several Townships in the county, to secure, if possible as reduction of our quota in the forthcoming draft. Having thorougly examined the facts in regard to the assignment of our quota, we are satisfied that great injustice has been done, and have, therefore determined to address you setting forth certain facts, and our grievances From announcements in the newspapers, we understood that Illinois would only be required to furnish 16,000 men. We now find that, instead of the state being considered a unit, Each subdistrict is taken as a unit in apportioning the quotas and consequently that the State is actually to be drafted for 39,000 men By examining the credits, we find that we are not credited with the actual number of men furnished owing to the inacuracy of the Rolls of /61 & /62 <hr /> Companies in one county have obtained recruits in adjoining Counties and all have been credited to the county in which the companys were organized. As a result, one county has an excess another a deficit upon the Rolls, while in fact, each has furnished an equal proportion. Such is the fact in Woodford Co. While we could not ask the authorities to go back of the Rolls, for evidence of credits owing the interminable difficulties in that method. and while we do not ask to have the excesses transferred to the deficient Counties, we do feel justified in asking as a partial measure of justice, that the deficient Counties be required only to furnish the actual deficit of the State by 16,000 The government will thus obtain the full number of men required from the State, the deficient Counties will get a partial Credit for the men actually furnished, without injustice to the Counties in excess and will still be liable on future calls. Again, we have only had five days notice of the demands made upon our County <hr /> The quota of Woodford, as announced is 569, This would be reduced one half, by the method above suggested. With a reasonable time, we believe that Woodford could raise the number by volunteers. We have heretofore honored all calls upon our patriotism and are not willing to remain behind now. Believing that the liberality with which Illinois has responded to all calls for soldiers, places you in a position to demand of Government, a candid hearing and as far as possible justice. we would respectfully ask that you endeavor to secure a ruling in accordance with the foregoing suggestions, and a postponement of the draft, untill an effort is made to fill the quota by volunteers Having no other method of bringing our grievances to the notice of the War Dpt. We feel justified in making this appeal to you. We have the honor to be, very Respectfully Your Obt Servts. Joseph. T. [Hammius?] James. J. [Meby?] J. W. Davis L. P. Hereford A. R.

Geneva Ill Sept 1. 1864 Dear Governor: In my recent letter requesting you to come to Geneva and speak, I thoughtlessly omitted to offer you the hospitalities of my house, which I take occasion now to do. Our Hotels, like most village taverns, afford rather indifferent accommodations. It will give me much pleasure to entertain you Very Truly Yours Isaac G. Wilson P.S. McLean was at the Elgin Convention. You have no firmer friend than he is although he felt a little hurt about the slaughter of Joslyn as Colonel of the 141st. I enclose a copy of my resolution passed by the convention unanimously I.G.W. <hr /> Resolved, That the Hon. Richard Yates, our present distinguished Governor, by his noble and patriotic devotion to the cause of our imperiled country, and his untiring efforts to alleviate the sufferings of our soldiers in the field and in camp, has justly endeared himself to the hearts of the loyal people of this State, and earned the proud appellation of the “soldiers' friend;” that the glorious record he has made for the State which gave to the country Abraham Lincoln,” entitles him to the gratitude of the people, and that he is the unanimous choice of the delegates to this Convention for United States Senator, at the next session of our State Legislature. <hr /> RACE TO COMMENCE at 4 O'CLOCK. For the accomodatiok of the public a special train of cars will leave the Chicago, Alton and St. Louis Depot at 8 o'clock for the course, and return as soon as the race is over. Fare for the round trip, fifty cents. The above field of horses comprises some of the best trotters in the West. They are very evenly matched, and one of the fastest and best contested races ever seen in the West may confidently be anticipated, taking into consideration the immense concourse of strangers now visiting the city during the sitting of the Convention, will necessarily be seeking some source of amusement which fact of itself give almost positive assurance of a very large attendance. And my object being more to make sport than money, I have determined to put the price of admission to all parts of the track at the low price of fifty cents. <hr /> Wilson Isaac G. Geneva. Spt. 1st 1864 In his invitation to Govr to come there speak, he thoughtlessly omitted to offer him Hospitality of his house which he now does.

Geneva Ill Sept 1. 1864 Dear Governor: In my recent letter requesting you to come to Geneva and speak, I thoughtlessly omitted to offer you the hospitalities of my house, which I take occasion now to do. Our Hotels, like most village taverns, afford rather indifferent accommodations. It will give me much pleasure to entertain you Very Truly Yours Isaac G. Wilson P.S. McLean was at the Elgin Convention. You have no firmer friend than he is although he felt a little hurt about the slaughter of Joslyn as Colonel of the 141st. I enclose a copy of my resolution passed by the convention unanimously I.G.W. <hr /> Resolved, That the Hon. Richard Yates, our present distinguished Governor, by his noble and patriotic devotion to the cause of our imperiled country, and his untiring efforts to alleviate the sufferings of our soldiers in the field and in camp, has justly endeared himself to the hearts of the loyal people of this State, and earned the proud appellation of the “soldiers' friend;” that the glorious record he has made for the State which gave to the country Abraham Lincoln,” entitles him to the gratitude of the people, and that he is the unanimous choice of the delegates to this Convention for United States Senator, at the next session of our State Legislature. <hr /> RACE TO COMMENCE at 4 O'CLOCK. For the accomodatiok of the public a special train of cars will leave the Chicago, Alton and St. Louis Depot at 8 o'clock for the course, and return as soon as the race is over. Fare for the round trip, fifty cents. The above field of horses comprises some of the best trotters in the West. They are very evenly matched, and one of the fastest and best contested races ever seen in the West may confidently be anticipated, taking into consideration the immense concourse of strangers now visiting the city during the sitting of the Convention, will necessarily be seeking some source of amusement which fact of itself give almost positive assurance of a very large attendance. And my object being more to make sport than money, I have determined to put the price of admission to all parts of the track at the low price of fifty cents. <hr /> Wilson Isaac G. Geneva. Spt. 1st 1864 In his invitation to Govr to come there speak, he thoughtlessly omitted to offer him Hospitality of his house which he now does.
