My Dear Sir, Allow me to offer you my congratulations now at the close of the campaign in which you have been so earnest a worker, not only upon the complete success and triumph of the Presidential election resulting so gloriously in the reelection of him who may well be called the Liberator, as Washington was called the Founder of the nation. Of him who both in word and deed has given liberty to the slave, and raised the serf to the dignity of a Freeman, and which also promises to secure to us the only possible permanent peace, entire victory over rebels in Arms, and the utter overthrow of men armed to oppose over <hr /> oppose the National Government, but also to strike at the nation's life. But I also wish to rejoice with You that we have as I make it now Eight republican members of Congress against three Democrats in this congress to come, a result due to nobody's Efforts more than to Your own, who has then the right to be more congratulated than he who in season and out of season has seen only his country first, his state next, himself always last. In reference to Your own Election to the Senate Governor I am sure that I could be of signal service to you if our papers here could be of any assistance to you as they all recollect you well from your visit here, and I am well known to them all. I enclose herewith a little slip that I put into the "True Delta" of today and could do no more as I had no more facts at hand to work from but this mere paragraph from the Democrat I have written Loomis half a dozen times or more and imagine that my letters must have miscarried in the mail as I have no reply. If how- <hr /> ever I can aid you in any way it would be a great pleasure to me to do so. We are doing our best to carry on our new Free State as You Know from talking to Hahn when here our materials are scarce and few but the constitution passed largely could not well be improved. Two Thirds of the white and voting population of the State were in the convention we secure by it forever unconditional universal Emancipation, that the legislature Shall never in any way recognize property in man, the education of all children white or black. All men black or white equal before the law and all to be enrolled side by side for the public defense and this has been fully ratified by the people, and all recognize it as their own law acquiese in the gradual settling of things upon this basis of freedom and participate in it as actively as these people here ever participated in anything for a want of Energy is one of their weaknesses here. It will be recognized surely by Congress as it has already been fully by the President and with the breaking up or retreat of the rebel strong <hr /> hold at Natchitoches we shall then hold the whole state as we do now over three fifths of the wealth and population. For a while now the Military here are doing all in their power to annoy us General Hurlburt being temporarily in Command, but the State once accepted as back in her old place there will be force and power then to come from here.

State of Louisiana, Executive Department. New Orleans, 15 January 1864. Honorable. Richard Yates. U. S. Senator from Illinois, Springfield Illinois, My Dear Sir. Allow me to congratulate you upon your election as Senator from Illinois. The meeting of the Illinois Officers now here was very unanimous in wishing so desirable an object and the records were officially seat you by them. They were published in all the papers here at the time. I enclose you a little Editorial that I put in to the "True Delta" of this morning the organ of the Governor and of "all of us" Personal. Ex-Gov. Richard Yates, of Illinois, has just been elected United States Senator from that State for six years, from the 4th of March. Gov. Yates is favorably known to all the volunteers of the Prairie State as the soldier's friend, and his name, with that of Morton, of Indiana will be cherished by them for years. Senator Yates is a firm friend of President Lincoln and his administration, and one of the most earnest supporters of the measure to readmit Louisiana as a State. <hr /> here, and no one is more heartily rejoiced at the result of our Election in Illinois than Governor Hahn who wishes to be warmly remembered to both yourself and Mrs Yates and who wishes me to tender to you his warmest congratulations. I hate to trouble you Governor upon a personal matter but I would much like to be continued as a Member of Governor Oglesby's staff the same as I was upon your own. Of course I want no pay and I am only too willing to at all times aid to the extent of my power in any way an Illinois Officer or Soldier as I think they will all, who have ever gone through here or through New York, bear me witness, and if it is not too much trouble Can I request you to speak to the Governor or to General Haynie who will <hr /> will recollect me I think very well at Chicago.

Stokes Apr 30th /.65 Friend Charles, I am guilty of a sin of which there is hardly any forgiveness "ingratitude" in not answering your welcome letter which I received a long long time ago. I have commenced to write you several times, but did not finish I thought I would embrace the present opportunity in writing you and trust you will pardon the long delay. I attended church this forenoon but there was not but a few out. Our new Pastor was not present. The air is cold to day after a heavy shower of rain with thunder yesterday. Spring with us has the appearance of being quite forward, the trees are leaving out very fast, <hr /> Grass is growing finely, and all Nature looks lovely. I suppose everything is much more forward where you are then it is here. During the winter past we had a great burden of snow, but went off very rapidly this spring. As you were home last winter you knew something about the depth of it. I did not see you while you were home I saw your Photograph to M.
