ELOCUTION AND SHAKSPEARE. CHICAGO, 7th November, 1864. To Professor Amasa McCoy, of Washington, D. C. DEAR SIR: Noticing your labors in our State during the Presidential Campaign, in delivering, in response to the call of our worthy Governor, some sixty public addresses in different towns and cities of Illinois, and observing that you are now speaking to the people of our city, we respectfully request you to remain in Chicago long enough to give us a course of lessons in Elocution, such as you have been accustomed to give as Professor of Rhetoric and Oratory in the Ballston and Albany Law Schools, in the State of New York. We are the more desirous to receive these lessons because we learn that your elocutionary exercises are all on the speeches and other celebrated passages in Shakspeare; and thus we shall enjoy the double advantage of instruction in the principles of reading and speaking by one whom John B. Gough has pronounced "a true patriot, a great orator, the perfection of rhetoric and the sublime in oratory," and scholarly expositions at the same time of Shakspeare, by a profound student of those masterpieces of English Literature. We learn that, should you accede to our request, your terms would be fifteen dollars for fifteen lessons. Upon these terms we are most anxious to become members of such a class. Very respectfully yours, HENRY BOOTH, President Chicago Law School. H. B. HURD, Professor Chicago Law School. HENRY M. SHEPHERD, Pres't Young Men's Ass'n. W. S. FRAZIER, Agent Metropolitan Hall.

BOOTH, Professor of Elocution. The signers to the letter requesting Professor McCoy to give a course of lessons in Elocution and Shakspeare, have great gratification in announcing to their professional brethren, that that distinguished orator, elocutionist and scholar, has accepted their invitation, and will comply with their wishes. Also, that this class, although originating with members of the Bar, is open to gentlemen of other professions. Clergymen, physicians, editors, public writers and speakers, college professors, school teachers--all whose duties require them to speak or read in public--professional and literary students, and admirers of Shakspeare generally, are cordially invited to become members of this class, and to partake with them the high intellectual pleasures of exploring together, the beauties and the wisdom, the poetry and the philosophy, of that immortal bard, whose writings are at once the food and the delight of every scholar in the world. Application for membership may be made at the law office of Messrs. Ulrich & Warner, room No. 3, 98 Washington Street. The signers to the above call have the further pleasure to announce, that prior to the opening of the above class in Elocution and Shakespeare, a preliminary meeting of the class will be held on the evening of Friday, 2d of Dec., at 7 1/2 o'clock, at Powers' New Academy of New Gymnastics, No. 116 Randolph St., on which occasion Professor McCoy will read from Bully Bottom, Falstaff, Hamlet's Soliloquy, the decline and fall of Cardinal Wolsey, in Henry VIII, and the passage from Richard III, which he read before the President, his Cabinet, and a great audience in Washington, in July, 1861; and which was equally applauded for its artistic and powerful rendering, and for its striking pertinence to the circumstances of the pending Rebellion. A limited number of tickets, each admitting one lady and gentleman, to this preliminary meeting, may be had gratuitously, by applying to the above members of the class. [The above movement on the part of members of the legal profession, has suggested to some ladies to try and secure the same rare opportunities of literary culture. It has been ascertained that Professor McCoy will give elocutionary and Shaksperian instruction to a class of ladies, providing it numbers not less than thirty. Any lady wishing to belong to such a class, may signify the same by signing the subjoined letter of invitation, and enclosing to Miss Haven, care of Dr. J. Hayes, 96 State St., Chicago.] CHICAGO, 20th November, 1864. To Professor Amasa McCoy, of Washington, D. C.: DEAR SIR: Learning that you have been requested by members of the bar of Chicago and other gentlemen, to remain in this city long enough to give them a course of lessons in Elocution and Shakspeare, such as you have been accustomed to give, as Professor of Rhetoric and Oratory, in the Ballston and Albany Law Schools, in the State of New York, we respectfully invite you to give a course also to a class of ladies, combining, as we learn they do, the double benefits of instruction, by a scholar of learned and classical literary taste, in the principles of correct and elegant reading, with conversational lectures, which form and refine the taste, by developing the beauties of thought and language of the finest and most-quoted passages in Shakspeare. We learn that, should you consent to comply with this request, your terms would be fifteen dollars, to each member, for fifteen lessons. We deem such a fee very moderate, compared with the advantage which would accrue, and would be happy on such terms, to avail ourselves of them. Respectfully yours, MRS. DR. ALLPORT. MISS ALLPORT.

Cope " 11/5/64 With Alfred Milner letter 11/21/64 Albion Edwards Co Ills Nov 7th 1864 Hon R Yates Gov Ills Sir it is with much pleasure that I embrace the opportunity now offered me of expressing my unqualified aprobation of my much esteemed friend Dr A Milner, now wishing to enter the service of the United States as an Assistant Surgeon, a course I have often urged upon him. Professionally I have been acquainted with Dr Milner 5 or 6 years as a medical student of fare attainments, and for the last two years, I have been more intimately acquainted with his abilities as a Physician & Surgeon, having often met him at the bed side of the sick, and having had his assistance in several Surgical Operations, in all of which he has proved himself amply capable and efficient. At this time when so many are proving themselves entirely unworthy, - Although perhaps capable - I think that a better appointment could not <hr /> will be made. As to loyalty I can say, that it is unquestionable having acted with more or less for the last two years in the Union League. Again let me express my earnest convictions that, should my friend be employed in the capacity to which he aspires, none connected with the department will have reason to regret it. Any consideration shown him will be estimated by myself and his many friends here as a personal favor In the success of our valiant solitins sailors and our Glorious Cause I am truly yours L.W.

Richard Yates Dear Sir Will you please inform Col. Gridly what disposition was made of my application as Med Examiner for sick and disabled Soldiers who are home on Furloughs and who are unable to return. Since I saw you I have been extending the Furloughs of such soldiers. But I think it would be much better if I was appointed. That such provisions should be made for the soldiers I have long been satisfied. It must be apparent to anyone who will reflect for a moment that such should be the case. It is much better for the soldiers to remain home 20 or 30 days or if necessary longer in order that he may return and be of service to the Country. And they can improve much faster with kind and dear Friends and proper Medical treatment than for them to return to the Hospital or their Regiment. If I could be appointed as Medical examiner for the District I think I could perfect a plan that would be for the benefit not only for the soldiers but for the Government. I have been in the Practice of Med for 25 years and I think I am prepared to know <hr />if a Soldier is unfit for duty and I think I would act in good faith for both Parties. Soldiers are not in a condition to go to Springfield who are Feeble and Debilitated to report and it is useless to put them in the Hospital. Neither are they prepared to incur the expense of going from Home as most of them are in [shortened?] circumstances. I sent a certificate of Disability of a Soldier since I saw you to Col James Oakes and he returned it to me saying the soldier would have to go to his Regiment or to the nearest Hospital for treatment. I have extended the Furloughs of quite a good many since I saw you from 20 to 30 days owing to this Condition. The way I do is to give them a certificate of Disability and sending a Duplicate to the Regiment or Hospital in regard to their Condition and how long I think it will be before they will be fit for duty. I don't wish to bring myself into any trouble in doing so neither do I wish to bring the Soldiers into Trouble. Therefore I hope I may be appointed by the proper authorities in order to make the examination valid all around. Any references that may be required in regard to My Standing as a Practicing Physician I can furnish if required. let me hear from you and you will oblige Yours Truly Henry Conkling MD Apply for.

According to agreement at Babcocks in Canton, I had Regimental notices printed signing myself "Lt Col." but my Commission had not come. Rev F M Havermole writes that you had ordered a Com. for him in the 55th. Rev C. Springer was elected last spring to that position, and is expecting it now. The 127th Ill have applied through me to get them a Chaplain, and </pre> <hr /> I am satisfied that Rev Havermole will suit them well. Both of these men are well calculated for the place and I trust you will be able thus to Commission them. <pre> My Commission was to have been forwarded to my address at Abingdon Knox Co. Ill. </pre> <pre> Hoping our nation will be honored with your voice in the Senate of the United States I subscribe myself </pre> <pre> Your Most Obt Servant </pre> <pre> M. L. Haney. </pre> <pre> Chaplain 55th Ill. Vol. </pre> Ps I have written Fuller about Havermole and Springer. If possible render me aid in getting men for the 55th. <pre> M. L. H. </pre> <hr /> Haney. M L. Abingdon Nov. 5/1864 While he has been busily engaged in the political canvass he has not been successful in getting many men for his Regt. Wants Govr to assist him in any way possible to fill it up. Recommends Rev Mr F M Havormole as Chapn of his Regt. (55th) and Rev C Springer as chapln of 127th.

Lewistown Ills. Nov 4, 1864 Hon Ricd Yates Springfield Ill Dear Sir. I presume upon our acquaintence so far as to ask a favor. To be brief, the Rev W. K. Talbot (my father-in-law) chaplain in Hospital at Beaufort S. C. is over 64 years of age - seperated from his freinds - but in good health. We want to get him transferred to Hospital farther north. Will you write a line to the Adjt Genl at Washington in our behalf. So much for business. I regret to say our prospects are not very bright politically in Old Fulten. The Cops, can do far more with Col Oakes and Capt Westlake than we can. Two of our officers have been shot while enforcing the draft, and <hr /> we had hoped that the authorities would be sufficiently aroused to make an effort for he arrest of the perpetrators of the deed, and also the draft [disenters?]. But our Cops have bargained with the officers, that no soldiers shall be sent into the county untill after the election - which answers their (the cop's) purposes. Missouri refugees, draft skedadlers, and any one in fact will vote - Union men are disgusted and disheartened. This is the third time the Cops have wooled our Provost Marshal. Is there no remedy? Must the Govt - the United States Government, be defied by a set of cut throats in this County, and fear to cross the Illinois River, untill they get permission of the Copperheads of Fulton County? Is it not very humiliating to loyal men? The arrangement made was this. <hr /> The troops to come to Havana, Mason County and remain there. - if the Cops could not deliver dft notices, then the soldiers to assist, - drafted men to report on Thursday Nov 10. If they do not report at that time, then the Provost Marshal to go on in his own way. - What think you of it? Yours Truly J W Proctor <hr /> Procter J.W. Lewistown Nov 4/64 His Father in law Rev.
