Monticello Piatt County Ill Nov 20/64 This is to Certify that Stephen Largee, a private of Co. E. (Capt Jno W Wood's) 107 Regt Ill vol Inf, enlisted in this county when said Regiment was formed and Organized, is, and has been well known to me. He went to the Hospital in Lebanon Ky on the 16th day of August 1863. He remained for a long time there, and rejoined the Regiment n East Tennessee---made a march of four or five days, lost his Speech, rendering him unfit to perform the duties of a Soldier from that time to the present date.

Hurt to Lieut Col. vacated the Major position: Several applications were made, one publicly the other privately, for that position. Neither of those applicants could properly claim the position, without establishing proper reasons to bar my promotion. The question is one of rank. When the regiment was first organized, the respective Companies, were lettered and assigned; and the rank designated by letter, was never disputed for the first two years of service; but when the question of promotion by rank became settled; they claimed the ranks (as the commission bear the Same date, which was issued to the Capts at the organization of the Reg't) and disputed the rank as established by assignment & letter. But promo <hr /> tions had been made in accordance with the former assignment. I have commanded the Regt, in the absence of the Field Officers, undisputedly, since our entrance into the Service, Some of the Officer proceeded to decide the rank by lot. But there is no Order in Hd Qrs of the Reg't, from Any Commanding Officer, establishing such decision. It is therefore, null and void, and the original lettering and assignment is the only proper decision of Rank. The death of Lieut Col J. M. Hurt leaves another vacancy to be filled. Considering my claims as ranking officer just, and in accordance with military customs, I present my claims for the position of Lieut Col. trusting that Speedy actions will be taken in the case, I submit it for your consideration.

Centralia Nov 18 1864 J. G. Cormick, Esq. Mayor of Centralia Sir as for request I herein state what I witnessed of the disgracefull conduct of the 62 Regt Ill Volt Comd by Col True while delayed here on the 16th inst. I saw a squad of 12 or 15 privates enter the cigar manufactory of H Stock and help themselves to whatever they could lay their hands on, To remonstrate was to risk your life. I saw one of the same party walk up to the window of W. S. Ghawkins jewelry store and with a weight in his hand smash it in and without cause. I saw another party of the same Regt try to break through the window of H. Grofe & co butcher shop and to prevent their breaking in Mr Grofe opened the door and offered to give them whatever they wanted but not satisfied with that they threw his beef into the street, carried off 4 or 5 bushels of turnips he had in store and loaded themselves with <hr /> sausage. I saw them make repeated efforts to break into stores and saloons that were closed up to prevent being pillaged. I saw them roll sacks of coffee and corn from the sidewalk into the street gutters. In fact they held complete controll of the business portions of the west side and any civil Officer or citizen who would have undertaken to check their operations would in all probability have lost his life. While the private soldiers were committing these depredations the Commissioned Officers were standing on the R. R. Platform in full view of the whole proceedings quietly and carelessly regarding it all. After the men had got through with their pillage an armed patrol was sent to prevent any further damage. It was an easy matter to detect leading spirits in these outrages but while the Regt remained in the city I did not see or hear of a single arrest. For the soldier who risks his life to preserve this Union and perpetuate her free institutions I have the most gratefull feelings. He is my friend, and I am his. But for the Officers of the 62nd <hr /> Regt who by their example and discipline leave their men to commit in loyal Cities upon loyal men gross and wanton outrages without cause or necessity whatever I have the utmost contempt. This is not the first time Centralia has suffered in this way, and their is but one way to prevent these depredations upon peacefull and law abiding citizens and that is to cashier the Field Officers and Captains of company's of Regts guilty of such conduct. And I certainly hope that this occurrence will not be allowed to rest untill the Officers of this Regt who are alone responsible are taught a lesson they will not soon forget. Yours Sincerely, T. P.

Geneseo Ill Nov 18th 1864 Hon Richard Yates Gov State of Ill. Dear Sir. On the 28th day of Oct. I was Mustered out as Chaplain of the 139th Ill. Infty Vols. at Peoria, by James A Hall, 1st Lieut, 1st U.S. Cav.y. He refused to give me a Certificate of non-indebtedness, for the lack of which, I could get no pay of the pay master who paid off the Regt: nor have I been able to get any pay yet. Now I have it from high Authority that it was the duty of that officer to have given me such certificate, as from the very nature of my position, it would be seen that I could give the govt nothing for ordnance or ordnance Stores. I obtained the certificate of Col <hr /> Davidson & also that of Q. M. Bryner that I had never had in my possession a penny's worth of Ordnance, Ordnance Stores, nor Q. M. property. & did not owe a cent for any such property. Still he declined, in a very abrupt & ungentlemanly Manner to Entertain the Subject for a Moment, & compelled me to wait until I have no idea when for my pay. I have never drawn a farthing of pay since I Entered the service, in June. I am poor & my family is suffering for the want of my Summer's Earnings. Now I appeal to you for help & redress. You have the reputation of being the Soldier's friend. Can you not see to it that I am at once put in the way of speedily getting my pay? Why should I be thus kept out of <hr /> my pay? The Iowa & Ohio 100 days troops, officers & all, got their pay at their muster out, & they were mustered out at the Expiration of their time. The mustering officer Audited their Accounts & ballanced them, & gave the necessary Certificates to Enable the officers to get what pay they were Entitled to. He did this for the Military officers, saying nothing about the Chaplains, who he knew of course would owe the Govt nothing for Military Stores. If I Should forward my discharge papers to Springfield, could you not order my pay to be made ready for me at once? The pay master, Maj Reynolds was ready to pay me at Peoria & said I ought to be paid & ought to have my Certificate of non-indebtedness from the mustering officer. The simple <hr /> disgraceful truth is, the mustering officer, while at Peoria thought a hundred fold more of good brandy & of having a rollicking "good time" than he did of our interests & rights as Soldiers of the Country: & treated the officers with coarse insult when they presumed to approach him & press their wishes & wants upon him in any way. As an honest & faithful soldier of the Republic, I feel to Enter my indignant protest against such treatment from any officer, no matter who! And Especially in the matter of my pay. After due Service to my beloved country has been faithfully performed. Of Course you are Entirely blameless in the Case, I only allude to it here as an aggravation of the trials I have to Endure in Consequence of being kept out of my pay so long. - May I not anticipate relief at your hands?

I am satisfied you will rejoice with me to learn that upon the testimony I am vindicated from all blame at Washington, & My good name rescued from disgrace. </pre> <pre> Immediately upon arriving here I reported under orders to the Bureau of Military Justice, to Judge Holt. I ought to mention before going further that I had received orders from the Secretary of War, disapproving of Rosecrans Order of Dismissal & calling me to Washington. I learned in the course of my interview with Judge Holt, that he had himself examined the evidence & vindicated me from all blame, in his Report upon the case. He told me he was happy to see that I had so completely vindicated myself from blame by the evidence. He, also made the remark </pre> <hr /> which I may perhaps seem to savor of egotism in repeating, that he never had a case come up before him, in which so many & high testimonials had been produced. During an interview with the President he told me that it did not take him long to see that no blame attached to me in the transaction. It appears that Loudens mother came all the way to Washington, & got a personal interview, with Mr Lincoln in reference to her son, & by her entreaties so wrought upon him, that he took pains to examine personally over 300 pages of evidence; & found it so overwhelming against Louden that he refused to intervene. Rosecrans also himself I am told interceded in his behalf, but to no purpose. Notwithstanding all this & notwithstanding peremptory orders from the War Department to have him executed, this Order was "suspended until further Orders," & Louden placed under an inexperienced Officer, & under guard to be conveyed to Alton Prison. For what reason was this done? This question is asked me here; but I can give no explanation There is a mystery about all this which I <hr /> cannot fathom. There are very dark suspicions in reference to the matter here. I am now waiting here per instructions. Major Eaton, Judge Advocate of the Department of War, has been ordered here to give his testimony, and Secretary Stanton, thinks he may want to see me personally after talking with Major Eaton. <pre> I hope to get away from here in the course of a few days. Allow me in closing to express only My sincere & heartfelt gratitude for Your kindly & timely intervention in my behalf.
