Hon. Richard Yates
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sir I would ask a favour of you as of a former acquaintance, I will tell you where I became aware of your worth, it was when you was a Student and a graduate at Ill. College. I then lived in President Beecher's family, and studied there a little, being poor I have had to work, I came to Cal'a in /49 and made money, but in consequence of going a worthy Gentleman's bond in a law suit in which he was swindled, we where the loosers. I could also tell you of the loss of my Mother &amp;amp; Family on the Plains in /51, together with the loss of a great deal of property, but would refer your honor to my friends, M. Henderson, Representative from Oregon, also Senator G.H. Williams from same state, who I believe will aid me in what I ask of you.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is to an Office in this State such as one as Port Inspector at this (Humboldt Bay) or some other position of like value without very heavy [bonds?]; or Collector of Internal Revenue for this district. I have been Enrolling Officer of this Dist last year but have got through.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We have District Land Offices to fill here but the old 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;_____
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;ones may be [retained?] in Office, as to my politics, I voted for Fremont in 1850, and President Lincoln both terms because I know that "Eternal vigilance is the price of Liberty." I have also been in Military Service in Oregon and if you should ask for further reference, I would gladly give it, but trusting that you will aid one who has long respected you as a Friend
I Remain
Yours
Most Respectfully
James Clark
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hon Richard Yates.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;P.S. Allow me to congratulate you on your Election to the U.S. Senate and it would give me pleasure to vote for you for President. JC

                <text>&lt;p&gt;Eureka. Humboldt Co. Cal. Jan'y 29th, 1865
Hon. Richard Yates
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sir I would ask a favour of you as of a former acquaintance, I will tell you where I became aware of your worth, it was when you was a Student and a graduate at Ill. College. I then lived in President Beecher's family, and studied there a little, being poor I have had to work, I came to Cal'a in /49 and made money, but in consequence of going a worthy Gentleman's bond in a law suit in which he was swindled, we where the loosers. I could also tell you of the loss of my Mother &amp;amp; Family on the Plains in /51, together with the loss of a great deal of property, but would refer your honor to my friends, M. Henderson, Representative from Oregon, also Senator G.H. Williams from same state, who I believe will aid me in what I ask of you.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is to an Office in this State such as one as Port Inspector at this (Humboldt Bay) or some other position of like value without very heavy [bonds?]; or Collector of Internal Revenue for this district. I have been Enrolling Officer of this Dist last year but have got through.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We have District Land Offices to fill here but the old 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;_____
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;ones may be [retained?] in Office, as to my politics, I voted for Fremont in 1850, and President Lincoln both terms because I know that "Eternal vigilance is the price of Liberty." I have also been in Military Service in Oregon and if you should ask for further reference, I would gladly give it, but trusting that you will aid one who has long respected you as a Friend
I Remain
Yours
Most Respectfully
James Clark
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hon Richard Yates.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;P.S. Allow me to congratulate you on your Election to the U.S. Senate and it would give me pleasure to vote for you for President. JC
&lt;/p&gt;

                    <text>&lt;p&gt;Camp 80" Ills Vols Infs
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Blue Spring Tenn April 9/64
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thomas Quick Esq
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have read in the Nashville Union that Gov Yeates will call some Regts home before long for State Protection I wish you to do something for the 80" Ills, Vols, Inf  We have seen extreme hard Service and our Officers are Mostly all Prisoners without our officers we have hard times  We have as noble Set of men as ever went from the Proud state of Illinois  I can safely Say there is not a soldier in the Regt that is Copperheadish or the least tainted with it.  I trust you will do something for us if there is to be Regt called home from States Duty if all the Regts that are in the Service had done as much
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;as the 80th this rebelion would have been put down by this time.  Our Camp is within four miles of a nice little town Called Cleavland  It is the best Country I have seen in rebeldom
&lt;p&gt;It is called East Tennessee We have a great many Union Citizens in this part and they are true loyal  We heard from Maj Bates he escaped from Libby but was recaptured I saw an Officer that was a Prisoner he told me he knew Maj Bates and after he was recaptured he was confined in a cell all he got to eat was bread and water Poor Maj a noble man a brave man a good man beloved by all of the Regt  I will have to close as I am not in a convenient place to write Soldiers have to take it as they can git it
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am yours Most Obt   Jas Cunningham
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Capt &amp;amp; Act Major 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Cunningham Jas
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cap 80th Ills
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Camp Blue Spring Ten
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;April 7 1864.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If there is to be a Regt Called back for home protection, requests that the 80th be selected as one truly loyal. has Seen and done much Service.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Letter from Thos Quick Seconding this request encld.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Blue Spring Tenn April 9/64
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thomas Quick Esq
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have read in the Nashville Union that Gov Yeates will call some Regts home before long for State Protection I wish you to do something for the 80" Ills, Vols, Inf  We have seen extreme hard Service and our Officers are Mostly all Prisoners without our officers we have hard times  We have as noble Set of men as ever went from the Proud state of Illinois  I can safely Say there is not a soldier in the Regt that is Copperheadish or the least tainted with it.  I trust you will do something for us if there is to be Regt called home from States Duty if all the Regts that are in the Service had done as much
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;as the 80th this rebelion would have been put down by this time.  Our Camp is within four miles of a nice little town Called Cleavland  It is the best Country I have seen in rebeldom
&lt;p&gt;It is called East Tennessee We have a great many Union Citizens in this part and they are true loyal  We heard from Maj Bates he escaped from Libby but was recaptured I saw an Officer that was a Prisoner he told me he knew Maj Bates and after he was recaptured he was confined in a cell all he got to eat was bread and water Poor Maj a noble man a brave man a good man beloved by all of the Regt  I will have to close as I am not in a convenient place to write Soldiers have to take it as they can git it
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am yours Most Obt   Jas Cunningham
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Capt &amp;amp; Act Major 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Cunningham Jas
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cap 80th Ills
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Camp Blue Spring Ten
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;April 7 1864.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If there is to be a Regt Called back for home protection, requests that the 80th be selected as one truly loyal. has Seen and done much Service.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Letter from Thos Quick Seconding this request encld.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Judge wanted me to apologize for the appearance of his letter. He has been quite sick.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Governor, I expect you know better what I want than I do myself. Will you please drop me a line telling me what to do?
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Will your recommendation to the Dep't be sufficient, or will Mr. Bromwell have to be consulted?
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have a poor chance to write here, and will have to ask you to excuse this scrawl.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If I am successful in the application I will faithfully perform the duties, and then I will give employment to an old Soldier who has served 16 months in Rebel prison pens.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Governor, please write me a note telling me just what to do. I can get up the Petition at any time and send to you if necessary.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Allow me to congratulate you on your Elgin oration. If that is printed in phamplet (sic) form I want some of them.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Some two weeks ago, Mr Coffin enclosed a letter to your care for Gov. Yates - The object of sending it to you was to obtain your services in delivering it into the hands of the Govr - The object of the letter, was to obtain the assistance of Gov. Yates to get a furlough
for Mr. Julius Brown, who has been very sick of Tiphoid fever &amp;amp; was in the General Hospital at Jackson Tenn. Not having heard any thing from you or Govr. Yates, Mrs Brown is fearful the letter miscarried - &amp;amp; I promised  her to write to you on the subject. Mr. Brown is a highly respected citizen of this place &amp;amp; writes to his wife there is no prospect of his so regaining his health while in Hospital, as to render any service to his country - His wife thinks that from his constitution &amp;amp; the effect a similar
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;disease had on a Brother of Mr Brown's that he never will regain his health, so as to endure the hardship of a Soldiers life - will you be so good as to write me whether the letter was recd &amp;amp; whether the Govr could or would interfere. If the Govr. said nothing to you on  the subject of the letter, will you call his attention to it &amp;amp; inform me what he says - If he cannot interfere ask who  has the power?

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir I am desirous of obtaining a commission as a Colonel of one of the first Regi-ments to be organized in Illinois under the President's late Proclamation calling for 300,000 additional volunteers. My time is rapidly drawing to a close with the 21st - being now numbered by months. I do not expect to quit the Service while hostilities continue and therefore desire a more per-manent and better command. The 21st has two field officers perhaps three left. The Colonel is supposed to have been killed at Chicamauga and the Lieut Col.(M. Mackin) was taken prisoner. If the Colonel should return to the reg't
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;"all right" if not, and the Lieut Col does I can not serve under him. I write this sitting in bed being prostrated by ill - health when I am able to get out (in three or four days I think) I will send you the "Record" I have made in the army. So that all other considera-tions aside you could have no fears or hes-itancy in granting my request.
If you should [illegible] to me a Commission and the "Record" is not amply satisfactory why I will vacate that's all. Please answer immediately either by telegraph (at my expense) or by letter. If by Telegraph to Chattanooga Care of Surgeons J L Teed U.S.V. if by letter to my address "Palmers Div. 4th Ala." With a prayer Governor for your health and happiness I am
