&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sir you are aware that I called on you a few days since to obtain my rights to a Lieutenancy in Capt Hill's Co. I was sorry that I had to appeal to you for my rights but I knew of no other chance &amp;amp; I feel satisfied that I have not asked in vain for rights that I hold sacred. I want to serve my Country. i know her cause is just &amp;amp; I have made many sacrifices to sustain the glorious old flag that has floated over so many fields of victory. I have been robed of my rights &amp;amp; through you only I can get justice, though I am but an humble applicant without wealth or influence yet I feel, and you will agree with me that my rights are as sacred as one who has the greatest wealth &amp;amp; influence in the world. I would say in conclusion if you cant grant my request I earnestly hope that you will grant me the privilige of gettin up a co. of infantry &amp;amp; report to you as soon as possible for service as I shall never be satisfied to go into the ranks under Capt Hitt. You will oblige me verry much if you can send me an answer to Naples Scott Co Ill
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your humble Servt

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;His excellency Gov Yates
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sir you are aware that I called on you a few days since to obtain my rights to a Lieutenancy in Capt Hill's Co. I was sorry that I had to appeal to you for my rights but I knew of no other chance &amp;amp; I feel satisfied that I have not asked in vain for rights that I hold sacred. I want to serve my Country. i know her cause is just &amp;amp; I have made many sacrifices to sustain the glorious old flag that has floated over so many fields of victory. I have been robed of my rights &amp;amp; through you only I can get justice, though I am but an humble applicant without wealth or influence yet I feel, and you will agree with me that my rights are as sacred as one who has the greatest wealth &amp;amp; influence in the world. I would say in conclusion if you cant grant my request I earnestly hope that you will grant me the privilige of gettin up a co. of infantry &amp;amp; report to you as soon as possible for service as I shall never be satisfied to go into the ranks under Capt Hitt. You will oblige me verry much if you can send me an answer to Naples Scott Co Ill
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your humble Servt
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;J.W. Coppage
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;J.W. Coppage
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;wants his rights or to raise a compy -

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir  I again take the privelege of humbly asking you whether you have done anything with my case or not  I wrote to you concerning the matter some time since but as yet have received no answer  I hope you will not think me too tenacious for I think it is a right that any person could ask with all the confidence in the world from one who can grant that right with so much consistency, Indeed Sir it would seem a hard thing and an act of great injustice to you after you had spent time and money in getting up a company and being duly elected to office to have a stranger without any claims and and against the will of the whole co - to take your office.  I only ask you to investigate the case and I know after doing so I am satisfied that you will not hesitate a moment in siting the matter right  I know that I am but a humble supplicant and perhaps have powerful influence against me in the person of Gen McClernand and I know you are the only hope I have in getting justice and I still hope you will consider me worthy of that justice

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ills.  Jan 8". 1864
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To His Excellency, Gov Yates,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There is a very poor but honest man living on my farm here by the name of John Konkle, who has three sons (his only help) in the army.  He recd a letter a few days since from the oldest from Chattanooga, in which he stated that some time previous he had sent his father $20.00 by the state Agent.  If there is any man acting in such capacity will you please hand him this note that the money may be ford. to him - if not already sent - at his earliest convenience, or looked after if sent and miscarried.  Mr Konkle's address is as mine above - Box 73.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Very Truly Yours
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;J. W. Crampton.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;over
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A dispatch came to Paris yesterday stating that there was another fresh call for troops.  If it be so and they are to be raised if possible by volunteering, I have a generous plan to propose, by which with your influence, I think I can raise a Regiment in a short time and many more it seems to me ought soon to be raised in the same manner.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yours &amp;amp;c
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Crampton
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Crampton J W.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Vermillion Edgar County.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Jany 8 1864.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mr. John Konkle, has three sons in Army, one of whom has sent his father $20.00 by State Agent, has not received money.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Write to both allotment Commrs. of complaints similar &amp;amp; write [conter?] we have written - Write to him to write his son inquiring name of Agt.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Executive Office Jany 14 64
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ills.  Jan 8". 1864
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To His Excellency, Gov Yates,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There is a very poor but honest man living on my farm here by the name of John Konkle, who has three sons (his only help) in the army.  He recd a letter a few days since from the oldest from Chattanooga, in which he stated that some time previous he had sent his father $20.00 by the state Agent.  If there is any man acting in such capacity will you please hand him this note that the money may be ford. to him - if not already sent - at his earliest convenience, or looked after if sent and miscarried.  Mr Konkle's address is as mine above - Box 73.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Very Truly Yours
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;J. W. Crampton.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;over
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A dispatch came to Paris yesterday stating that there was another fresh call for troops.  If it be so and they are to be raised if possible by volunteering, I have a generous plan to propose, by which with your influence, I think I can raise a Regiment in a short time and many more it seems to me ought soon to be raised in the same manner.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yours &amp;amp;c
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Crampton
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Crampton J W.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Vermillion Edgar County.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Jany 8 1864.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mr. John Konkle, has three sons in Army, one of whom has sent his father $20.00 by State Agent, has not received money.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Write to both allotment Commrs. of complaints similar &amp;amp; write [conter?] we have written - Write to him to write his son inquiring name of Agt.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Executive Office Jany 14 64
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Chicago, 21 June 1861
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We take pleasure in recommending to you Mr. John B Tachan (Turchin) as a person in every way fitted to receive a military appointment to a grade equal to that of Colonel. He is a native of Southern Russia, about forty years of age and has received a very high military education, and his personal habits are unexceptionable. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;At the age of fourteen he entered the artillery school at St Petersburg where he studied for five years. When he attained the age of twenty, he obtained the position of Sub Lieutenant in the Horse Artillery where he remained five years. At the expiration of this period and wishing to enter one "Etat Major", he entered the Military Academy of St Petersburg, the highest school of the Empire, where he devoted himself to a thorough course of Tactics, Administration, Geodesy, Strategics, and Artillery Engineering, graduating with the highest distinction.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The next year he devoted, proportionately, to the practical operations of every branch of military service, and we have 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;have the authority of Genl McClellan, that a person thus graduated must have superior attainments to one who has taken his degrees at West Point.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thus qualified he entered the "Etat Major" with the rank of Captain.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;During the Russian war he was detailed to prepare a plan for the defence of the Gulf of Finland, and the country around St Petersburg. His views with little or no modification were adopted-
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In 1855 he obtained the rank of Colonel and was attached to the Staff in the active corps of Guards ordered for service in Poland
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In 1856 he came to this Country where he has since remained, devoting his time to engineering pursuits, and for the past 2 years has been in the employment of the Illinois Central Rail Road Company.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In 1857 he filed his first papers to become a citizen of the United States, which step he proposes to perfect at the expiration of the required time  
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;From our knowledge of his gentleman after
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;after a personal &amp;amp; official intercourse of two years, we do not hesitate to state that he possesses that practical information which our Country at this crisis so eminently demands, and in conclusion we beg to assure you it would give us unqualified satisfaction to see him assigned to a field of duty where his high attainments in military knowledge would find full scope.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With the highest respect
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We remain, Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your most obedient servants 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;J.W. Foster

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I may have to call to your attention Samuel M. Trulock formerly of this place &amp;amp; now a member of Company I in the 72'd Ill. Infantry.  Mr. Trulock enlisted in Fulton County in your state in July 1862 &amp;amp; has been in the service ever since &amp;amp; I am told &amp;amp; do not doubt the truth of the statement that he has proved to be a most excellent and gallant soldier.  Mr. Trulock is well advanced in years, being 54 years old and of the nearly three years of arduous service a position in the commissary or quartermasters department would be very desirable both because of the relief to his overtaxed [illegible] &amp;amp; the course of the increase of pay which would enable him to support the large family now wholly dependent
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;upon him.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;May I ask you to treat Mr Trulock's case with consideration &amp;amp; do for him what you (illegible) his results &amp;amp; the public service will justify your understanding
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your very Obt. Servt.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;James W. Grimes
