Don't be detered from its length from reading this Bloomington Feb. 28th 1865 Hon Richd Yates Dear Sir I am not in the habit of inflicting upon my readers long buisness letters, but understanding that you have committed yourself in favor of the appointment of Col. Brisco as P.M. of this place, I feel like departing from my habit of short letters. To begin with, however, I don't believe you have so committed yourself, irrespective of the wishes of your friends of this City & have just so affirmed the present incumbant, Wm. Allin. I profess to know something about public sentiment of the place in reference to Wm Allin's administration of the office and the desire of the people for his retention, and, So far as I know, I do assure you, that about all our political friends, especially as among those favorable to your election to the Senate, are for Wm Allin against the world, for this position. And there are good reasons why this should be the case. 1st He is a Son of the Father of the City & County The Hon. Jas. Allin, formerly of the State Senate, & is the only one of the family that has ever recd any official favors. 2nd He is a cripple & physically disqualified from getting a living by Manual labor, and has not the means to engage in his old buisness, Merchandizing. By a partnership years ago, he suffered great losses. <hr /> 3rd His eminent fitness for the position. Of high moral worth, integrity above suspicion, accommodating to a fault, he has drawn around him a host of friends, that no other man can to the same extent, I am quite sure. 4th His long continued & meritorious Servises politically, first in the Old Whig Party, then in the (Radical) Repubican and recently in the Union party. For four years he has been chairman of the County Central Com. and has done about all the labors of that Committee. For the last 4 years he has performed more political labor, and, in proportion to his means, has spent more money five times over, than any man in the County. I need not say, he has ever been one of your warmest friends and admirers. Where the late remonstrance against you was started in this place, he circulated the petition for you. I will not further tax your patience by assigning reasons why he should be continued, but to show you how popular he is in this community will state the circumstances attending his appointment 4 years ago. In the Contest of 1860 Capt S. B. Brown was Chairman of the Central Com. & Capt of the "Wide-awakes," & being a good man & an old citizen of a popular [turn?]made many friends. Nearly all the Lawyers of the place, including Judge Davis, Swett, [Orme?] and Gridley, joined in efforts to have him appointed P. M. in which they were seconded by a large petition of business men and others. On the 4th of March he, and many of his friends, including Judge Davis went on to Washington and the prospect for our friend Allin looked dark. Concious that he (Allin) was the choice of our people I advised the informal election, the result of <hr /> which was on a full turnout-about five-sixths in his favor. With the poll-books of this election I went on to Washington, and secured his appointment. Judge Davis, Swett & others, to the Contrary, notwithstanding. It may not be amiss to say, that Judge Davis is now in favor of the reappointment of Wm. Allin & in a letter to Lincoln, has strongly recommended him. Of Col. Brisco, I have not a word to say to his prejudice. He is a good man, and when Govr Oglesbe, appointed him Comd of the Penitentiary, I commended the appointment. I regret that he has made a move in the wrong direction, in doing which, I have good reason to believe he is influenced by the over-persuasions of Genl Gridley, who is influenced solely by monied considerations in this matter. He wants the Office moved from the Public Square, back to the Street he is on, in which he has quite a number of business houses. He has tried in vain to induce W.Allin to so change the location of the Office, & hence his opposition. Up to within 3 weeks of the elections, and extending back for 4 years, Gridley had done not a thing, (nor contributed a dollar, in aid of our cause; and how much influence, the removal of the P.O. had in inducing his spasmodic effort, just on the eve of the election he & his God only, knows. Our immediate Rep. Wm Cullum, is in favor of Wm Allin, and in conclusion allow me to send through you, to the President, the enclosed letter, which you will please read. <hr /> For inflicting so long a letter upon you I shall plead the great interest I feel in this matter, in reference to which I would thank you to drop me a line. I shall write briefly to Senator Trumbull referring him to you for further particulars. If he desires it, Show him this letter. Very Respectfully Yours Jesse M. Fell P.S. Will you tell [Kersey?] (who is now with you, as I suppose) of this opposition to Allin. The move is a quiet one, but we are quite sure it is [making?]. As you value the wishes of this place, I trust you will oppose it. I fully concur in the above letter of Mr. Fell E. M. Prince <hr /> E. M. Prince Bloomington as to P.

Normal Feb 28th 1865 Hon. S.M. Cullom Dr. Sir- I have just learned that in a quiet way Gridley is making an effort to secure the appointment of Col. Brisco as P.M. of this place.-In this Gridley is influenced solely by the "Almighty Dollar."-He wants the P.O. moved back to his Street, on which he has a number of business houses, and as Mr. Allin has refused to second his efforts in this regard (though Gridley made liberal offers to induce him to do it) he has pitched before Brisco-lately appointed Comdr of the Penitentiary-to accomplish his object. I need not say to you, that Brisco is not the choice of our people for this Office.-I am quite sure you will work for Allin, and, in view of this move, let me urge upon you to have the appointment made and confirmed before you leave.- When much stronger influences were brought to bear against Allin, 4 years ago, he triumphantly succeeded, as I am sure he would now, if a protracted contest was had but, he nor any of us want this, and I hope you will at once have the appointment made.-Brisco has said Yates is in his favor. Don't believe it. I have written to him. See how this is and let me know, -Have also written to to Trumbull though I very well know that in this matter <hr /> the Dept. will be governed mainly by your advice.- Yours Truly Jesse M. Fell P.S. Tell [illegible] of this move of Gridley's. It would not surprise me if Brisco goes on to Washington.- He had better attend to the duties of his present appointment.-I will send this to the care of Govr. Yates, as I don't know where you put up. Henry Kerau is a Rout Agent on the I.C.R.R. now running between here and Centralia. At my suggestion the late Wm Lovejoy had him appointed. He has made an excellent agent, as the P.M.'s on the rout will bear testimony, and I trust will be continued. I don't know that any effort is necessary to continue this class of agents, but hope you will look into the matter, and if you find it necessary, Secure his continuance in the position he is now so well qualified to fill. His pay is only $800 yearly.-The P.M. Genl upon recommendation of the Rep. of the Dist, makes these Appointments. Jesse M Fell I concur hartily in what is stated above with reffirence to Kerau as Rout agent he has been faithful & Efficient James Allin Jr Status The current transcription status of a document or a page.
