Rockford Oct. 12. 1861. Hon Allen C. Fuller. Dear Sir Yours of 8th inst reached me yesterday. I had just written you on another subject directing my letter to Belvide, but I presume it will reach you in due time. When I first suggested to the Govr. the idea of my undertaking to form a regiment, there were three companies enlisting here and there seemed to be a pretty general expressed opinion that if I would take hold of the matter, a regiment could be got up in this vicinity in a very short time. I have no doubt that I might then have succeeded very Easily, but those companies have since united with other regiments. it would be much more uncertain now. It is very possible, & indeed very probably that another regiment can be collected here in a reasonable time, & as near as I can judge, very few persons in this section would be more likely to succeed, than myself but I think it scarcely worth while for me to undertake it on condition. I have no desire to act in the matter, merely for the sake of making a figure; I did not ask or expect the Gov. to give me an appointment merely to gratify or benefit me; unless the condition of the country is such as to make it apparent that I might be useful beyond peradventure.

Tremont House Chicago Illinois Nov 4th 1862 Governor Yates Dear Sir, I learned your arrival here, listened to your Speech last evening, & 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 & respectable livelihood for my family & self. You know, 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 Judge Parks of Aurora informed me that he had flattering prospects of a good position 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, & 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 <hr /> which I may secure immediate help for them The day of Election has come, & 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 & Peace & quiet & National & Social prosperity be restorded to the land If Politicians desire a prolongation of this War they can have it for a time. But I tell you Governor Yates, the People, are daily & hourly arming themselves with a weapon which will one day fall with destructive force upon the heads of all intriguing, dishonest & deceptive Politicians. That weapon is intelligence They are informing themselves, that they are the Masters & 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 There is but one successful mode of destroying the Rebellion, & restoring Peace. That mode is A Unity of Action, and an Honesty of purpose on the part of loyal men.
