&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Governor of Ills. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To you as Governor of the State of Illinois (among whose sons we feel proud to be numbered) the officers and Soldiers of the 48” Ills Vol Infy desire to commit for future custody and Preservation the flag they have hitherto borne. The many privations, Hardships and perils endured whilst serving beneath its folds in behalf and for the unity of the Government it represents has endeared it and rendered it to us a sacred relic.  As such we entrust it to the keeping of the State, whose honor has been in part entrusted to our keeping.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You will find inscribed upon it the names of Ft. Henry Ft Donaldson Shiloh and Corinth at each of which places it was borne by our regiment  It has always been unfurled where duty and honor required and never trailed before the enemy nor [illegible] a retreat and although many of our brave comrades who followed it have fallen and sacrificed themselves for the Government and Constitution (Dear and Hallowed to us as the priceless heritage of our fathers) of which it is the emblem.  Yet they fell only in the midst of victory on fields rendered forever memorable and Glorious by the triumph of their Comrades in arms. And to aid in which their lives were freely Given.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;At the same time that we thus commit our “old flag” to you as the official representative of the State we desire to testify to you personally our appreciation of Your Constant efforts for, and sympathies with the Soldiers You have aided to send into the army of the union. And our confidence without distinction of party in your patriotism and devotion to the Government and Constitution
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;we are trying to preserve.  We feel the utmost assurance that whilst the Soldiers of Illinois are maintaining the Glory of her name, and the heritage of her people in the field You no less earnestly and devotedly are striving to the same end at home
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We have the honor to be with Great Respect truly &amp;amp; faithfully Yours

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Governor Yates
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I learned your arrival here, listened to your Speech last evening, &amp;amp; called to see you this A.M.  Your Engagements the Clerk told me prevented an interview  My object in seeing you was the "Old Story, or petition," for place to learn if it were not in your power to assist me to some position by which I might obtain an honest &amp;amp; respectable livelihood for my family &amp;amp; self.  &lt;u&gt;You&lt;/u&gt; &lt;u&gt;know&lt;/u&gt;, and all acquainted know, that less competent have been favored, men who have expended nothing, while I have expended all, to advance the interests of Our Country
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Judge Parks of Aurora informed me that he had flattering prospects of a good position
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If there be anything in the way of a position in the Pay Dept. that I might succeed in obtaining, please be Kind enough to inform me.  Without any expression of egotism it seems as though I were possessed of sufficient intelligence and had expended sufficient, in the raising of men directly, &amp;amp; indirectly to guarantee me a position, to say the least, where I might receive a sufficient salary, or pay, to give to my family, a decent support.  It would take 2 years to reinstate myself in business, as previous to the War  Consequently I petition, if in your power, for some place by
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;which I may secure immediate help for them
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The day of Election has come, &amp;amp; will soon be over, when I hope, in the name of Heaven, partisan feelings will be carried to a tomb from which they shall not be resurrected, until the last trump of Rebellion has sounded &amp;amp; Peace &amp;amp; quiet &amp;amp; National &amp;amp; Social prosperity be restorded to the land
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If &lt;u&gt;Politicians&lt;/u&gt; desire a prolongation of this War they can have it for a time.  But I tell you Governor Yates, &lt;u&gt;the&lt;/u&gt; &lt;u&gt;People&lt;/u&gt;, are daily &amp;amp; hourly arming themselves with a weapon which will one day fall with destructive force upon the heads of all intriguing, dishonest &amp;amp; deceptive Politicians.  That weapon is &lt;u&gt;intelligence&lt;/u&gt;  They are informing themselves, that they are the Masters &amp;amp; their Representatives, the Servants.  And the time is not far distant when a recognition of this fact will be forced with killing weight upon the Partisan Representatives of our Country
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There is but one successful mode of destroying the Rebellion, &amp;amp; restoring Peace. That mode is &lt;u&gt;A Unity of Action&lt;/u&gt;, &lt;u&gt;and an Honesty of purpose&lt;/u&gt; on the part of loyal men.  In order to have this &lt;u&gt;Parties must die&lt;/u&gt;, or &lt;u&gt;be suspended&lt;/u&gt;, until the finale of these internal troubles
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you desire to address me at the Tremont House
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I Remain ever your friend &amp;amp; Servt

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I hope you will Pardon the Liberty I have taken in addressing these lines to you in regard to my son who volunteered to serve his Country under the last call of the President.  the circumstances under which he volunteered were these, notices were posted up calling for one thousand men for the Flotilla the notices were to this effect that those that volunteered would receive the same bounty as the Land companies and $19-20cts a month.  my son talked with the recruiting officer he told him the same as the notice read but told him he would have to clothe himself out of his wages he volunteered for a year as they were taken for that term on the Gun
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Boats he was told he would receive a share of his bounty money and one months pay in advance as soon as they were on the receiving Ship at Cairo he has never received a cent yet he left home the 21st of August he is on the Gun Boat Fair Play under Commodore Fitch at Evansville Indiana, I received a letter from him a few days since stating that he understood they could not get any bounty nor but $12 a month and pay for their own clothing besides he is quite dissatisfied under these  circumstances after what I have written I would like to know if they will not be obliged to pay him what was promised to him when he volunteered supposing you to be the Proper person to apply to for information on this subject will be my excuse for addressing these lines to you if in Error please inform me who to Apply to I hope you will attend to this and not pass it by and oblige an anxious Mother  My Son name is George F Lincoln in this I will enclose my address

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Respected Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I hope you will Pardon the Liberty I have taken in addressing these lines to you in regard to my son who volunteered to serve his Country under the last call of the President.  the circumstances under which he volunteered were these, notices were posted up calling for one thousand men for the Flotilla the notices were to this effect that those that volunteered would receive the same bounty as the Land companies and $19-20cts a month.  my son talked with the recruiting officer he told him the same as the notice read but told him he would have to clothe himself out of his wages he volunteered for a year as they were taken for that term on the Gun
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Boats he was told he would receive a share of his bounty money and one months pay in advance as soon as they were on the receiving Ship at Cairo he has never received a cent yet he left home the 21st of August he is on the Gun Boat Fair Play under Commodore Fitch at Evansville Indiana, I received a letter from him a few days since stating that he understood they could not get any bounty nor but $12 a month and pay for their own clothing besides he is quite dissatisfied under these  circumstances after what I have written I would like to know if they will not be obliged to pay him what was promised to him when he volunteered supposing you to be the Proper person to apply to for information on this subject will be my excuse for addressing these lines to you if in Error please inform me who to Apply to I hope you will attend to this and not pass it by and oblige an anxious Mother  My Son name is George F Lincoln in this I will enclose my address
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;yours Respectfully

I wish a letter from you to the President or Secty of war recommending me for the position of either Pay Master or assistant

I have also the state officers (excepting yourself) &amp;amp; also Gen'ls McClernand and Grant Ross &amp;amp; Oglesby  I lack your signature - Capt [Barthach?] signed also &amp;amp; will vouch for the promptness &amp;amp; fidelity with which I performed my official duties. Please write as strong a letter to the Pres. or Secy of war as you can, send to me at Peoria so that I may take
&lt;/p&gt;

Please write as strong a letter to the Pres. or Secy of war as you can, send to me at Peoria so that I may take

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Govr
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I write at your kind suggestion, to remind you, that in the multitude of your engagements and duties there is an old Illinoisan, who is a prisoner, and who feels that he never ought to have been arrested; But having been, now thinks that he ought to be honorably discharged without further mortification and embarrassment.  I shall have a very humble opinion of myself, if a President who has known me for 30 years, and a Governor, with whom I have had a less lengthy, but not &lt;u&gt;less&lt;/u&gt; &lt;u&gt;pleasant&lt;/u&gt; acquaintance, suffered me to remain in this unpleasant condition longer. I will not take up your valuable time to read more from me
