May 9th 1865 Jacksonville Illinois Hon Richard Yates [illegible] Dear Sir Mrs Julia A Gibbons has informed me that she requested you to use your influence in obtaining a pension for her and that you desired me to write a statement of the facts in the case. Her husbands name was William [illegible] Gibbons he was a private in Co "K" in the 2nd regt of Illinois [illegible] vols and died at Paw Paw Island in the Mississippi River on the 20th day of May 1863. The papers have been properly made out and forwarded to the pension commissioner but he refuses to allow a pension becase he says the official evidence of the death of the soldier is not comple. about a week ago he forwarded to me a circular to be sent by me to be signed by some surgeon or other commissioned officer having the [legitimate] knowledge of the death of the soldier aforesaid. there is no commissioned officer in the army who knows of his own personal knowledge of the death of Gibbons, so that it will be useless for me to attempt to get the circular signed. the statements of his company officers have been forwarded in which he gave all the knowledge they possess of the death. there was a german soldier of his company with him on the island when he died and who saw him die his affidavit has been twice forwarded but they still ask for positive proof from a commissioned officer and that cant be obtained. the man Gibbons was shipped from Memphis to Vicksburg. he was sick when first on the boat and during the passage he was taken worse and was put off the boat on Paw Paw island where he died with no one near him who knew him save the soldier which affidavit has been twice forwarded. on the island named sick soldiers were frequently put who had contagious disease though I believe Gibbons sickness was not of that nature. the sum of the pension claim is 36,316-I believe I have now stated all the facts appertaining to the case. respectfully yours James J Ronen claimants atty Wm Gibbons Status The current transcription status of a document or a page.

Knoxville April 26, '61 My Dr Gov, It has been Rumored here the Genl Paine of Monmouth might get the post of Brig. Genl. of the Ills troops. Knowing what we do of his Military Education and experience, and his character as a Man this appointment would Suit us, in this Section, well. I have been asked by some of my friends here to Recommend to you and to him, one of our Citizens, John H. Ewing, as one of his Staff, say Aid. Mr. Ewing is now some 30 years of age, comes of Revolutionary stock, has had some military training, has a cool clear head and a powerful physique, and is one of the boldest, and most fearless Riders I ever saw. I cannot just now think of a man who would be more prompt and Efficient in any Emergency, and more faithful in the discharge of any duty which might be required of him. His friends would like to get him into a position <hr /> where he could be more useful than in the Ranks Our County has not been so prompt as I hoped in Responding to their Country's call I understand we have four or five Companies full or nearly so, and although we may have been slow at the start, you may be certain the County of Knox will be sure in the End. We are delighted with the tone & spirit of your Message and I have no doubt it will meet with a hearty Amen! from Every true Illinoisan. It is clear to my mind that if we would preserve our glorious government we must fight for it. If we would have peace with the Southern traitors, we must Conquer it! I can fully endorse the Sentiment contained in a Letter from our worthy Minister at Berlin, Gov. Wright of Indiana "I tell you, friend Knox, this idea of a peaceable seperation is all nonsense. We had better fight even to Extermination, than to commit to our children, war, bloodshed & carnage, the inevitable consequences of border feuds, if we are not kept <hr /> one people. We cannot be two people---we are one people, or we are nothing." But I am writing longer than I ought. I know how busy you are. I would not have troubled you if I had known certainly the whereabout of Gen. Paine, to whom perhaps I could more properly write.

Tucker Letter 12/13/62 With General Order signed by Daniel Tyler 9/30/62 Chicago Ills Jan 24, 1862 General Tyler Camp Douglas Sir, It was my intention when I called upon you in company with David A Gage Esq. in relation to a claim made by Henry Graves against the Government for the grounds on which the Camp is located to make out at one his claim and present the same to you but circumstances over which I had no control has thus far prevented one from so doing, and if in presenting the same at this late hour you are no longer in a situation to listen to his claim or to present it so those who are finally to pass upon it, I would be obliged if you would so inform me, and inform one to whom I shall present the claim. Mr. Graves' claim is for the use of about thirty one (31) acres of land. At the time it was taken possession of by the Government it was enclosed in a nine (9) feet high board fence, some buildings thereon and was in good order. It was in the first place leased by Mr. Graves to David A. Gage with the knowledge that it was to be used for a Camp; and was from October 1st, 1861 to May 1st, 1862 for a monthly rent. He was fearful that the use of it for a Camp might injure it, and this led to him have instituted in the lease the following covenant "to use and occupy " "said premises in a careful and prudent manner and to not" <hr /> "cut, girdle, prune or in any way injure the trees growing" "on said premises, and at the end of said term to yield up" "said premises in as good condition as they now are natural wear" "& tear excepted" "and to remove from said premises all excrement" "and filth which may accumulate there during said term." The object of inserting the above is to inform the Government that Mr. Graves claims that when the premises are given up to him that they should be left in as good condition as when taken possession of. And in his proposition to receive a monthly rent the questions which may arise as to any injury other then the natural wear or which may arise from the accumulation of filth are not taken into consideration. In view of all the facts & circumstances surrounding the use and occupation of this thirty one acres of land, Mr. Graves thinks that the least he can take is a monthly rent of three hundred dollars. Mr. Graves has had opportunity the past seasons to make permanent arrangements for its occupation and would have done so, could he have gotten the possession of it. If the above proposition does not meet the views of those representing the Government Mr. Graves would like to take the course indicated and leave the settlement of it to three disinterested persons.

Surveyor's Office, Port of Quincy, Jan 18 1865. Hon Richard Yates Dr Sir An Accident which disabled my right arm prevented me from coming to Springfield during the late Senatorial contest I therefor made as good a fight as possible at home & if my exertions contributed in the least to your success I am gratified. As I presume you will leave for Washington soon I shall be unable to see you I wish to call your attention to a few facts. The Hon C H Browning whom you in times past unfortunately appointed to the position to which you have just been called has heretofore had the appointment of all the officers in this section. You should see that he has this power no longer as a great majority of his appointments have been very unfortunate thus far. Our Post office which should & which is expected to aid in a political campaign, has not been of the least use to the party since it has been in the present <hr /> hands neither did any body connected with it contribute one cent in money or use any exertion personally to aid the election of our ticket. White the collector of Internal Revenue with an office worth as they say) thousands of dollars actually gave the magnificent sum of $20.00 toward the expenses of the campaign. I imagine King in the Springfield District gave more than that. Now if we can expect to carry this county we must have a different state of affairs. Our collector also employs a copperhead of the worst sort as Liquer Inspecter who has always upon every occasion abused the administration without mercy notwithstanding he gets his living by her patronage & on election day he made himself particular obnoxious to loyal men by working for the copperhead ticket I state these things for the purpose of showing you how necessary it is for us to have a new deal here, if we ever expect to succeed & hope you will work with that view. Mr Dills you are already aware is <hr /> a candidate for the Post Mastership & when the proper time arrives I expect to be an an applicant for collecter of Internal Revenue & as you volunteered your assistance whenever I might need the same I take the liberty to ask it when the time arrives soon as the matter of redistricting the state is settled by the legislation I shall then know how to proceed & will write you at the seat of Goverment Should you have a spare moment before you leave should be glad to hear from you Yours Very Truly Jas J Langdon <hr /> Langdon James J.
