&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Governor:-
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;             Did you ever see the work of a perfect "political (Illegible)", if not read this confidential circular.  Quite a number came to this office to-day, and doubtless they are sent all over the State. Save this for me, if you do not want to use it otherwise All right here. Our Reps &amp;amp; Senator will be on hand Friday or Saturday before the meeting of the Legislature. Fuller writes me to propose him for Speaker and says you told him that I was coming out for him. I think our folks had better go for him.
&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;                                                        Yours in Haste 
&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;                                                                                   Geo S. B

&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;                                               (Lan?) in charge of Uj No? Hospt Train Div

&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;                                                     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;/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;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have the honor respectfully to recommend Isaac L. Morrison Esq. of Jacksonville, Illinois, for the office of Dist. Attorney of the United States for the Southern District of Ill, should there be a vacancy in said office.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have been personally acquainted with Mr Morrison for many years. He has been a firm, consistent and able supporter and friend of the present Administration, from the first. He is for crushing the Rebellion by the military power, &amp;amp; restoring the Union, at any cost &amp;amp; at all hazards.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He has risen by patient, assiduous,
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;and honest toil and study, to a deservedly distinguished professional position. I know that he is regarded by the best members of the Bar in this region of the State, as a sound and able lawyer. He is proverbially industrious &amp;amp; attentive to business.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I believe his moral character to be without stain or reproach - and I know that he is universally esteemed by his friends and neighbors as a pure, upright, &amp;amp; honorable man.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He is remarkably affable and obliging, yet always dignified and courteous in manner &amp;amp; leaning.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Believing that these qualities, which none who know him will refuse to concede, render him eminently fitted to be the legal representa
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;tive of the U. States in this Dist, I earnestly hope that, in case a change is made, he may be appointed to the position.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Very Respectfully,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your obt. servt.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have the honor respectfully to recommend Isaac L. Morrison Esq. of Jacksonville, Illinois, for the office of Dist. Attorney of the United States for the Southern District of Ill, should there be a vacancy in said office.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have been personally acquainted with Mr Morrison for many years. He has been a firm, consistent and able supporter and friend of the present Administration, from the first. He is for crushing the Rebellion by the military power, &amp;amp; restoring the Union, at any cost &amp;amp; at all hazards.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He has risen by patient, assiduous,

&lt;p&gt;and honest toil and study, to a deservedly distinguished professional position. I know that he is regarded by the best members of the Bar in this region of the State, as a sound and able lawyer. He is proverbially industrious &amp;amp; attentive to business.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I believe his moral character to be without stain or reproach - and I know that he is universally esteemed by his friends and neighbors as a pure, upright, &amp;amp; honorable man.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He is remarkably affable and obliging, yet always dignified and courteous in manner &amp;amp; leaning.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Believing that these qualities, which none who know him will refuse to concede, render him eminently fitted to be the legal representa

&lt;p&gt;tive of the U. States in this Dist, I earnestly hope that, in case a change is made, he may be appointed to the position.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sir:
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of Your Letter of the 15th inst, requesting that Gustavus A. Smith late colonel of the 35th Ills. Vols. be designated as recruiting Officer in Illinois for the First Corps.  I have referred it to the Adjutant General of the United States Army, in connection with Mr. Smith's appointment as Colonel in the First Corps.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It would probably have been better had Mr. Smith also made application to the Adjutant General of the United States Army in accordance with the terms of the Circular [Wash.?] War Dept. Adjutant Generals Office December 1" 1864 giving the date therein required. Still I do not know that it will be insisted upon.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You would further oblige me by making a general application to the Secretary of War asking that the Officers 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;over
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;appointed for the First Corps from the State of Illinois be sent home to recruit.
&lt;p&gt;And without having any authority in the premises so to state, I believe that should you consider it an important matter and make application to the Secr. of War to have the enlistments for the First Corps in Your State perfected there, it would be promptly acceded to.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have the honor to remain
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Very Respectfully 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your Obtd Servant

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;December 21, 1864.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To his Excellency
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hon. Richard Yates
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Governor of Illinois
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sir:
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of Your Letter of the 15th inst, requesting that Gustavus A. Smith late colonel of the 35th Ills. Vols. be designated as recruiting Officer in Illinois for the First Corps.  I have referred it to the Adjutant General of the United States Army, in connection with Mr. Smith's appointment as Colonel in the First Corps.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It would probably have been better had Mr. Smith also made application to the Adjutant General of the United States Army in accordance with the terms of the Circular [Wash.?] War Dept. Adjutant Generals Office December 1" 1864 giving the date therein required. Still I do not know that it will be insisted upon.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You would further oblige me by making a general application to the Secretary of War asking that the Officers 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;over
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;appointed for the First Corps from the State of Illinois be sent home to recruit.
&lt;p&gt;And without having any authority in the premises so to state, I believe that should you consider it an important matter and make application to the Secr. of War to have the enlistments for the First Corps in Your State perfected there, it would be promptly acceded to.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have the honor to remain
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Very Respectfully 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your Obtd Servant
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Winfd Hancock
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Major Gen. [illegible]
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Comd'g
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hancock Maj. Genl.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Headquarters 1st Corps
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Washington D.C.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;December 21st 1864
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In relation to Colonel G.A. Smith being appointed recruiting officer for the 1st Corps in Illinois.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Sent Copy to Col Smith 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dec 28th 1864

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hon Richard Yates
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Springfield
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dr Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yours of the
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;16th just received - would say -
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;when the famous 8th Cavalry was forming I
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;was at Evanston and His Hon. Gov. Evans
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;kindly offered to call and see you and did
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;take a letter - your reply was in effect "I will do
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;all I can for him" and you then placed the
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;letter on file - Col. Beveridge was a warm personal
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;friend and did (as he says) do all he could for me -
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Again after spending time and money in assisting
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;to raise the 127th Infty, a petition was sent to me
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;by the boys of the company that Capt. Burroughs was
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;raising to go to Camp Douglas and take the 1st
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;lieutenancy of that company, a large majority
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;petitioning Your Hon to remove one Lieut Morgan -
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(that failed - Again the 92d Infty and the 7th
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;at Rockford - Dr. William Lyman did all he
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;could but that too failed - You will justly
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Say that I did not enlist and therefore was
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;not entitled to any thing - My reason for
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;not enlisting was that I had no confidence
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;in the officers and could not command
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"money enough to put the thing through"
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You may perhaps remember Adjt. Blodget from
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Waukegan - I am confident that had he
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;not been sent to the Regt (74th) -
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(a total stranger) Col. Marsh would
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;have given me the position - In brief
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gov. Yates, if I had gone to you personally
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am confident you could have done by
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;me as you did by the thousands of brave
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;boys who have made the State stand
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;first on the [illegible] of fame - Allow me
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;to say that it was and is now my only
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;ambition to be one of them -
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have a boy and how can I answer
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;to him for the neutral part I take
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;in this great cause  - Perhaps it
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;is wrong to desire the name and fame
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;of a [illegible] but I confess to that
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;[madness?] - I have tried to explain; now
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;in regard to my brother Lieut Bagley -
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;E. S. Taylor Esq - remarked to me that
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gov. Yates promised him a commission in
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;a colored Regiment - and I intended
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;in my letter to apply for a position
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;in a colored Regt. because I was well
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;aware that there could be no promotions
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;in other Regts. and again Brother [name]
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;says he would prefer the colored because
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;they are more susceptiable of discipline and
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;would without doubt be organized into a
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Corps (as in the French Army) after the
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;present war is over -
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yours most truly
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Wm. S. Bagley -
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;[illegible] 5778 -
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bagley Wm S
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Chicago Dec 21st 1864
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Has received Governors
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;letter of the 16th inst, the
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Governor promised to do
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;all he could for him &amp;amp;c
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;amp;c - Refers to organization
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;of 8th Cavalry -

                <text>&lt;p&gt;Chicago Dec 21st 1864
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hon Richard Yates
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Springfield
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dr Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yours of the
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;16th just received - would say -
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;when the famous 8th Cavalry was forming I
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;was at Evanston and His Hon. Gov. Evans
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;kindly offered to call and see you and did
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;take a letter - your reply was in effect "I will do
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;all I can for him" and you then placed the
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;letter on file - Col. Beveridge was a warm personal
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;friend and did (as he says) do all he could for me -
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Again after spending time and money in assisting
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;to raise the 127th Infty, a petition was sent to me
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;by the boys of the company that Capt. Burroughs was
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;raising to go to Camp Douglas and take the 1st
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;lieutenancy of that company, a large majority
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;petitioning Your Hon to remove one Lieut Morgan -
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(that failed - Again the 92d Infty and the 7th
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;at Rockford - Dr. William Lyman did all he
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;could but that too failed - You will justly
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Say that I did not enlist and therefore was
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;not entitled to any thing - My reason for
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;not enlisting was that I had no confidence
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;in the officers and could not command
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"money enough to put the thing through"
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You may perhaps remember Adjt. Blodget from
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Waukegan - I am confident that had he
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;not been sent to the Regt (74th) -
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(a total stranger) Col. Marsh would
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;have given me the position - In brief
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gov. Yates, if I had gone to you personally
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am confident you could have done by
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;me as you did by the thousands of brave
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;boys who have made the State stand
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;first on the [illegible] of fame - Allow me
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;to say that it was and is now my only
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;ambition to be one of them -
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have a boy and how can I answer
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;to him for the neutral part I take
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;in this great cause  - Perhaps it
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;is wrong to desire the name and fame
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;of a [illegible] but I confess to that
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;[madness?] - I have tried to explain; now
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;in regard to my brother Lieut Bagley -
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;E. S. Taylor Esq - remarked to me that
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gov. Yates promised him a commission in
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;a colored Regiment - and I intended
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;in my letter to apply for a position
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;in a colored Regt. because I was well
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;aware that there could be no promotions
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;in other Regts. and again Brother [name]
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;says he would prefer the colored because
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;they are more susceptiable of discipline and
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;would without doubt be organized into a
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Corps (as in the French Army) after the
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;present war is over -
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yours most truly
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Wm. S. Bagley -
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;[illegible] 5778 -
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bagley Wm S
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Chicago Dec 21st 1864
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Has received Governors
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;letter of the 16th inst, the
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Governor promised to do
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;all he could for him &amp;amp;c
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;amp;c - Refers to organization
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;of 8th Cavalry -
