With James Hart Purday letter 9/17/64 With D. Billartin letter 9/17/64 Vicksburg Aug 30th 1864 Col J. S. Loomis Dear Sir Allow me to introduce to you my friend James H. Purdy. Mr. Purdy is an Ex Major of the 59th N.Y. Vol. and visits Illinois, and other Northern States, for the purpose of seeing the Governors of the same in relation to the new composing the late Miss. Marine Brigade. The Brigade, as I suppose you already know, was lately disbanded by the order of Genrl Canby and the men transfered, some of them, back to their Regiments, while the remainder were organised into an entirely new command. A majority I understand have served out their three years. But some officer in authority has decided that they were discharged from their old regiments when transfered, and that they must serve three years from the time they were mustered with the Marine Brigade. Such a procedure has caused great dissatisfaction among them, and they are almost in a state of mutiny. There are many Illinoisians among them and if this <hr /> matter is permitted to pass unnoticed, and the men to remain where they are, you will loose many a good soldier that would go to make up your future quotas, and many a good loyal voter at the coming election. Major P. visits Springfield on behalf of these men and desires to lay the matter before Governor Yates. Any favors you can show him will be truly appreciated by Your Sincere Friend J. D. Johnson <hr /> J. D. Johnson Vicksburg, Sept 1/1864 Introduces Major Purdy who visits this and other Northern States to see Governors in regard to men composing the Miss.

These Copperheads remain at home and ought to be compelled to bear at least some portion of the burdens of the war. This cannot be without the draft (illegible) is made by wards. <pre> A Petition will go up to Col Oakes. this morning to have this matter so Ordered will you please see to it that the right of Loyal citizens may be protected and that justice in part may be meeted out to some of these copperheads. </pre> <pre> Yours Respectfully </pre> <pre> H.

Richard Yates Govenor of Illinois <pre> Dear Sir, </pre> <pre> I desire to call your attention to the fact that in the preliminaries for a draft there is no arrangements for a division of this city and precinct to be drawn by wards - I learn that Capt westlake says it is now to late to do this - - If the division is not made the draft will bear unjustly on the wards that have already furnished a large proportion of the men already enlisted and besides it will work injuriously </pre> <hr /> to our political interests one ward in our city containing the largest number of voters has a large Copperhead majority - and has (as you may infer) furnished but few men. These Copperheads remain at home and ought to be compelled to bear at least some portion of the burdens of the war. This cannot be without the draft (illegible) is made by wards. <pre> A Petition will go up to Col Oakes. this morning to have this matter so Ordered will you please see to it that the right of Loyal citizens may be protected and that justice in part may be meeted out to some of these copperheads. </pre> <pre> Yours Respectfully </pre> <pre> H. T. Foster </pre> <hr /> Foster H.T. Beardstown Ills. August 27th 1864. Says that the town in making arrangements for the Draft. was not devided in wards So that the Dfs will fall unjustly on Union men. Appeals to Governor for protection of the rights of Union men.

Private Morris August 27th 1864 To his Excellency Gov. Yates Dear Sir: The appointment of James A. Reading as deputy Provost Marshall for Grundy Co. is an appointment not fit to be made. He never has been thoroughly a republican never has been trusted by the party and is one of the most unpopular men here. once he was elected to the Legislature as a republican and all our friends were disatisfied and disgusted with this course, ask any of them who were there. This appointment weakens us here it disgusts and dissatisfies such men as William T. Hopkins whom Reading has injured deeply in pecuniary matters. Grundy Co. has this day elected delegates to a congressional convention and instructed them to vote for me by a two thirds vote. enough delegates are chosen to nominate me who are instructed for me I dont want to be cumbered with such a weight as Readings appointment I wish you would fail to commission him <hr /> and have his appointment revoked. If you can do nothing else hold on to the commission until after the 5th and I will get an expression from the congressional convention which will then meet. What is the use of having appointments made that weaken our party and disgust our friends. please let me hear from you at Ottawa Yours Truly B. C. Cook <hr /> Cook B. C.
