&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;April 28th 1862
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hon Richd Yates
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gov Ills
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hon Saml S. Marshall is
about to resign his position as Judge
of the 12th Judicial Circuit having already
announced himself as a candidate for
Congress in this the 9th Congressional district. His resignation will not however
take effect untill some time in July
and in the mean time the new Constitution will either be adopted or rejected
and if adopted the appointment of his
(Marshall's) successor will devolve
upon you and if I have any assurance
that I can be elected to the same position in November I should like to
have the appointment. But otherwise
I should not.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The attornies of this circuit generally
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;determine the matter as to whom they
will elect for the Office of Judge and
I will have an opportunity in three or
four weeks of seeing a majority of
them and of ascertaining their feelings
on the subject, and after seeing them
I shall address you again on this subject. All I desire at this time is that if consistant with your feelings you will not
commit yourself to an appointment
until I address you again, and I make
this request for the reason that there
may be other applicants
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;From present indications I think there
will be but little opposition to me even
among the Democracy unless it is with
a few who have Secession proclivities
I canvassed a few of the counties in this
part of the state for the Union last fall
and may have embittered a few of that
class against me But most of the unconditional Union men are for me
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I will write you again in a few weeks
and if you should have occasion
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;to address me on this or any other
subject you will please do so at
Carmi White County. I am here attending court at this time
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yours Truly
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;John E. Whiting
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(PS) If I conclude to ask the appointment of Judge I will accompany
such request with abundant evidence of my qualifications
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;John E. Whiting
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;April 28th 1862
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;asking the appointment as Judge, 12th Judicial
Dist. Hon  S. S. Marshall 
to resign.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Answer that this letter 
did not come to my
hand until to day
4th June or it would
have been answered.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I shall cheerfully
comply not to
commit myself
till I hear from you.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;ansd as above June 7
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;M
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gov. Yates
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir - 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Pardon me for occupying your time about a matter which I presume you have already attended to; but which may possibly, in the multitude of your cases, been overlooked.  I refer to the desired appointment of Col. E. N. Kirk of the 34th to a Brigadier General-ship, to date from Shiloh.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Col. Kirk's merits are too well known to you, to make a word as to them necessary; and I do essure you that if his appointment could be secured, all this portion of the Rock River County would feel under renewed obligation to you.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am Yr. obt. Servt.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;John V. Eustace
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Renews his application to have Col. E. N. Kirk of 34th Regt appointed Brigadr. Genl.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ansd. Sept 23.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Application has been made at Washington.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir - 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Pardon me for occupying your time about a matter which I presume you have already attended to; but which may possibly, in the multitude of your cases, been overlooked.  I refer to the desired appointment of Col. E. N. Kirk of the 34th to a Brigadier General-ship, to date from Shiloh.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Col. Kirk's merits are too well known to you, to make a word as to them necessary; and I do essure you that if his appointment could be secured, all this portion of the Rock River County would feel under renewed obligation to you.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am Yr. obt. Servt.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;John V. Eustace

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ansd. Sept 23.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Application has been made at Washington.

                  <text>Scott Wike Lucas was an Illinois attorney and politician. Born in Cass County, Illinois, on February 19, 1892, Lucas attended public schools and Illinois Wesleyan University, where he played baseball and other college sports. While in college, during his summers, he played baseball in the Three-I League, a semiprofessional baseball league organized in Illinois, Indiana, and Iowa. After college, Lucas attended law school and was admitted to the bar in 1915. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lucas served in the United States Army during World War I, rising to the rank of lieutenant. He would later continue his military association by serving as commander of the Illinois Department of the American Legion. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After serving as state's attorney for Mason County in the 1920s, Lucas ran in the 1932 Democratic primary as a candidate for the United States Senate from Illinois; however, he lost his primary bid to William H. Dieterich. Governor Henry Horner then appointed Lucas chairman of the State Tax Commission, which Lucas directed from 1933 to 1935. In 1934, Lucas won election to the United States House of Representatives from Illinois. Four years later, he won election to the U.S. Senate and was reelected in 1944. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Following President Harry S. Truman's reelection in 1948, Lucas became Senate Majority Leader. He served in that capacity only two years, losing the 1950 general election in Illinois to Republican Everett Dirksen. Lucas died on February 22, 1968. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Scott W. Lucas Collection consists of 38 photographs from Lucas' early life and political career. In addition to images of such influential American politicians as John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson, the collection contains several political cartoons satirizing Lucas and other politicians.</text>

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We would ask of you, as the Govner of Ills. the privlage to write a few lines in regard to our cases who are here as prisners of War on Parol not to serve against the Southern rebels until legally exchanged or discharged of which we will bee duly informed. we were taken Prisners at the Battle of Shilo and have not heared from home since that time. therefore we are anxious to get somewhere where we can hear from home and get some money and have a change of clothing. for we are here without money and clothing and are detaned here for some reason I know not what. we were released on Parol at Macon G.A. and are thus far om our way home and canot get any farther. therefore we as Ills men would ask of you the Govner of the State of Ills to do something for us if it is in your powr for we are no use to the Government at present in this condition. our families know not whether we are alive or not and of course are uneasy about us.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I will give you a list of some of the scattering Regts of Ills. of which I am in charge of at present and am acting
