&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gov Yates
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You will probably be solicited for Arms for a Company of Home Guards now forming in this place. In hope you will be cautious in giving arms out to this Company.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Union Home Guards have recd the arms from Col Pugh's Regiment which are down here. This Co forming is an opposition Company &amp;amp; thier loyalty is not as good as it might be.  I write this at
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;tThe request of Col F. Remann with whom you are better acquainted.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You need not use any of our names as we don't wish to become involved any more than we are.  Things are more quiet now in our County but cant tell how long it will last
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Very Respectfully
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yours
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;J N McCord
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;P.M.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Their loyalty not so good as might be.  Writes you at the request of Col F Roenann.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;File
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Pakage---Arms &amp;amp;c
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Watch out for this

&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;    I have the honor to ask you, as a citizen of Illinois; and one who has had an oppertunity of seeing the deficiency in the means of conveyance of the Sick and wounded of our Army; from Louisville Jeffersonville, Serv. Albany, and other points on the Ohio River, to their homes in the northern and western states; and the untold sufferings, as well as the many noble lives sacrificed on account of that deficiency: To call the attention of his Excellency Gov. Yates of Illinois to the importance of immediate action on that subject, by our State in behalf of her noble suffering sons  I would recommend the establishing of a Hospital Train, similar to those now running on Military Roads, to be placed on some of our main tracks in Illinois and Indiana.  I hope you will also press the matter of a Clame Agency for Illinois.
&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;                          Yours for the suffering
&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Resp'ly referred to Hon R. Yates with the hope that his honor will unite with Gov Morton and succeed in Establishing Hospital Trains North of the Ohio.__  Dr (Hasen?) is from Peoria &amp;amp; would be an Excellent man to put them in operation._
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The cost of fitting passenger cars with beds for wounded is a mere trifle_ _

&lt;pre&gt;                                                     Sir.
&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;    I have the honor to ask you, as a citizen of Illinois; and one who has had an oppertunity of seeing the deficiency in the means of conveyance of the Sick and wounded of our Army; from Louisville Jeffersonville, Serv. Albany, and other points on the Ohio River, to their homes in the northern and western states; and the untold sufferings, as well as the many noble lives sacrificed on account of that deficiency: To call the attention of his Excellency Gov. Yates of Illinois to the importance of immediate action on that subject, by our State in behalf of her noble suffering sons  I would recommend the establishing of a Hospital Train, similar to those now running on Military Roads, to be placed on some of our main tracks in Illinois and Indiana.  I hope you will also press the matter of a Clame Agency for Illinois.
&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;                          Yours for the suffering
&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;                                              J. N. Nazer
&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;                                               (Lan?) in charge of Uj No? Hospt Train Div
&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;  Illinois State Agency
&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;  Nashville Tenn
&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;       Dec 26 1864
&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Resp'ly referred to Hon R. Yates with the hope that his honor will unite with Gov Morton and succeed in Establishing Hospital Trains North of the Ohio.__  Dr (Hasen?) is from Peoria &amp;amp; would be an Excellent man to put them in operation._
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The cost of fitting passenger cars with beds for wounded is a mere trifle_ _
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;          Very Resp'ly
&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;               Your Obt Ser
&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;His Excellency Governor Yates
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir:
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As when I called upon you this morning I found you so ill, I did not say to you, all that I wished to say.  You will therefore excuse the liberty I take in addressing you.  As I told you the "hard times" has compelled me to dispose of my paper and printing office at a ruinous sacrifice and with almost discouragement and despair I have looked into the future to discover if possible where I am to land, to use a sailor's phraseology.  I well know, or at least can imagine the numerous applications that are made to you for positions and and the perplexity in which it must oftentimes involve you.  And here let me say that I shall respect you none the less should you fail to do me a favor of the kind I wish
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Allow me to address you Governor, in the same manner in which all men of the common feelings of humanity prefer to be addressed whether occupying a public or private position.  Since I was 12 years of age I have been obliged to depend upon my own resources and having had until for the past few years but pore health my way has not been extremely smooth.  I merely state this to show you how much of fortunes favors I have known.  Securing my education by labor after and before "school hours" and during vacations I believe I know the energy necessary to be carried into any pursuit in order to accomplish any important object.  Now Governor had I disposed of my political principles last summer for money or had those in whom I confided used that
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;influence for me to sustain me that they promised and that I had reason to expect after aiding and assisting to elevate them to public positions, I would not ask you to assist me at this time.  If you could aid me to obtain a situation where I might obtain a salary sufficient to sustain myself and family and give me an opportunity to pay of a few demands against me, I would feel just as I think you would feel were you a young man in my situation - truly grateful.  Should I obtain a position as quartermaster of a regiment or any other, I will try and do my duty honestly, energetically and faithfully.  Do not recommend nor appoint me unless from what you know or can learn of me I am competent.  I write this between hope and fear but I rely
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;upon your kindness and forbearance.  I ask as a favor that you will let my application or at least my motives for making it remain alive with you.  Hoping that you may be speedily restored to good health and that I may hear from you I remain
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your Most Obedient Servant

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gov. Yates:
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir:
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I do not like to tresspass upon your time too much but would just say that in case any new regiments are formed I would be grateful to you if you would use your influence to secure me the appointment of Qurter-Master.  I would be willing to take even a most laborious position anywhere in connection with the army could I but receive a reasonably good compensation.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Truly Yours
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;J Nelson Brockway
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;J Nelson Brockway
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Belvidere
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;for Quartermaster.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Answered
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My dear Governor,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Allow me to
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;congratulate you on the
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;appointment recently made
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;for Senator. I have no doubt
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;you have been put under pretty
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;severe prefsure from quarters
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;where I am quite sure there
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;is no real sympathy for you,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;amp; to which you owe nothing.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Browning will make an
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Excellent Senator. If I do not
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;interfere with my advice, in
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;these matters, I beg you will
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;not understand that it is on 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;account of any want of 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;interest in them. I think
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;one's friendship may as
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;well be shown, in some
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;cases, by letting a man
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;alone, as in any other
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;way. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;At the request of Dr
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Goodbreak, I wish to say
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;a word about another matter.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dr G. has been appointed
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Surgeon of this Regement
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;by Col Marsh, &amp;amp; Dr F. K.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Baily Afst. Surgeon. As
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;a matter of pride, and
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;really of conscience now, for
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;they have both been employed
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;nearly from the beginning,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;they would like to retain
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;their places. I suppose
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;there is really no diffi
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;culty in the matter. But 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;they feel anxious. Dr G has
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;pafsed his examination before
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;the Committee. Dr B will
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;be ready to do so on
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;his arrival at Springfield.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I think them both pecu
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;liarly well fitted for their
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;respective positions, &amp;amp; both
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;well qualified. Dr G
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;is from Clinton DeWitte
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;C. &amp;amp; brings the best of
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;recommendations. Dr B
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;is an old practicioner
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;here &amp;amp; I Know of no more
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;faithful or conscientious
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;man to fill his place.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Both have given, I believe,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;entire satisfaction -
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Excuse me for this hasty
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;note. The mail is just going.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Respects to Mrs Y.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ever truly,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;J. O. Norton
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hon J O Norton

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My dear Governor,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Allow me to
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;congratulate you on the
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;appointment recently made
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;for Senator. I have no doubt
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;you have been put under pretty
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;severe prefsure from quarters
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;where I am quite sure there
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;is no real sympathy for you,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;amp; to which you owe nothing.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Browning will make an
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Excellent Senator. If I do not
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;interfere with my advice, in
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;these matters, I beg you will
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;not understand that it is on 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;account of any want of 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;interest in them. I think
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;one's friendship may as
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;well be shown, in some
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;cases, by letting a man
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;alone, as in any other
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;way. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;At the request of Dr
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Goodbreak, I wish to say
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;a word about another matter.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dr G. has been appointed
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Surgeon of this Regement
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;by Col Marsh, &amp;amp; Dr F. K.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Baily Afst. Surgeon. As
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;a matter of pride, and
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;really of conscience now, for
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;they have both been employed
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;nearly from the beginning,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;they would like to retain
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;their places. I suppose
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;there is really no diffi
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;culty in the matter. But 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;they feel anxious. Dr G has
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;pafsed his examination before
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;the Committee. Dr B will
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;be ready to do so on
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;his arrival at Springfield.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I think them both pecu
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;liarly well fitted for their
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;respective positions, &amp;amp; both
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;well qualified. Dr G
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;is from Clinton DeWitte
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;C. &amp;amp; brings the best of
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;recommendations. Dr B
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;is an old practicioner
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;here &amp;amp; I Know of no more
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;faithful or conscientious
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;man to fill his place.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Both have given, I believe,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;entire satisfaction -
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Excuse me for this hasty
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;note. The mail is just going.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Respects to Mrs Y.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ever truly,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;J. O. Norton
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hon J O Norton

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dr Sir,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It has been intimated to me that Hon T. L. Dickey, of Ottawa, would be inclined to accept the appointment of Colonel of the new Regiment of Cavalry about to be raised in this state. If affords me great pleasure to say, that I think that would be an appointment "fit to be made." It would give me great pleasure
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;to see it done, and I have no doubt it would be received with satisfaction, by the great body of the people in this section. I think he would make an excellent officer.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In haste,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Very truly

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I received a note, a day or two since, from T. Q Hildebranch, Capt of a Company in Col March's Regt. saying that the Col had complained of him to you, with a view to prevent his being commissioned, &amp;amp; desiring me to do something for him.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I know little or nothing of the controvesy or its merits, &amp;amp; cannot therefore say much about it.  But Capt H. is a citizen of this place, &amp;amp; one in whose success I had considerable confidence, &amp;amp; I feel at liberty to ask for him, what I make 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;no doubt he will secure, at you hands, a fair and candid hearing.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hon Richd Yates,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;DrSir,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Parker Holden 1st Searg. in Co F, 20th Regt. Ills Volrs, &amp;amp; his friends who are amongst the oldest &amp;amp; most respectable citizens of this County, have requested me to write you a word touching his promotion to a Lieutenantcy. He represents that he has the voice? of the company almost unanimously &amp;amp; the recommendation of the Lieut Col (Irwin), and that the reason why his name was not submitted to you was on account of 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;an old grudge which Col Marsh holds against him. Holden &amp;amp; some others disliked extremely to be sworn in under Col M. and it was perhaps owing more to my persuasions &amp;amp; assurances that all would be right, than to any other cause, that they were finally sworn in for the war. I know Holden to be a first rate young man, &amp;amp; that he would fill the place with credit to himself, and I am very confident that his representations in regard to the matter are true. I most devoutly wish that justice could be done him in the premises From
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;my own Knowledge of the man &amp;amp; from my long acquaintance with the family I can most cordially commend him to your favorable consideration.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Very Respectfully,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;J. O. Norton
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Recommending Parker Holden 20th Regt.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hon Richd Yates,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;DrSir,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Parker Holden 1st Searg. in Co F, 20th Regt. Ills Volrs, &amp;amp; his friends who are amongst the oldest &amp;amp; most respectable citizens of this County, have requested me to write you a word touching his promotion to a Lieutenantcy. He represents that he has the voice? of the company almost unanimously &amp;amp; the recommendation of the Lieut Col (Irwin), and that the reason why his name was not submitted to you was on account of 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;an old grudge which Col Marsh holds against him. Holden &amp;amp; some others disliked extremely to be sworn in under Col M. and it was perhaps owing more to my persuasions &amp;amp; assurances that all would be right, than to any other cause, that they were finally sworn in for the war. I know Holden to be a first rate young man, &amp;amp; that he would fill the place with credit to himself, and I am very confident that his representations in regard to the matter are true. I most devoutly wish that justice could be done him in the premises From
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;my own Knowledge of the man &amp;amp; from my long acquaintance with the family I can most cordially commend him to your favorable consideration.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Very Respectfully,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;J. O. Norton
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Recommending Parker Holden 20th Regt.
