&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir:
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I take special pleasure in recommending to your favorable consideration the bearer Mr. H Couch of Peoria.  I can cheerfully recommend Mr C. as a gentleman of strict integrity and high intellectual qualifications.  I have no doubt that any position conferred upon him will be worthily bestowed and do honor to the party who assisted him to the same.  He is besides this a truly loyal and patriotic citizen whose services will be really valuable to the Government in any position which he may be entrusted with.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir:
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am in receipt of your letter to the Secretary of War, of 21st Sept requesting commission in Colored Volunteers &amp;amp; enclosing letter from General Thomas to you of date Sept 5th '63.  These papers are referred to me with endorsement that you have passed the board at Cincinnati and have been recommended for appointment as Colonel &amp;amp;c &amp;amp;c.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When considering the subject of appointment to field positions of colored regiments which may be raised in Illinois, I will take pleasure in considering your application &amp;amp; you will be further [addressed?] 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Very Respectfully

Calhoun Co Ills
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sir:  Your letter in behalf of Wm Woods, convicted at Calhoun Co Court for Larceny Spring term 1863 is received.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In all cases of this nature it is required that recommendation for pardon must be furnished from the Judge who passed sentence-or the Prosecuting Attorney and a part of the Jury together with certificate of good conduct from Warden of the Penitentiary-I will give the case prompt consideration upon receipt of the foregoing.  I am glad to [hear?] such good account from old Hardin as to loyalty of [Madison?]-

Richd Yates

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sir: I desire to call your attention to the case of
F W Foote a private in 14th Ills Cavalry now under
your charge and who it is represented has been in
Hospital since last March.  I would respectfully
request that he be examined as to fitness for transfer
to Invalid Corps and that his condition be reported to
me if not inconsistent with rules &amp;amp;c.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Would further request that if found unfit for active
service, and not proper subject for the Invalid Corps
that he may be transferred to the Hospital at Chicago
