Hon J K Dubois Dear Sir What is the reason our friends in Ills have forgotten us or do they think we have so little interest in home affairs that it is not worth while to inform us of what is going on I wrote to you in November and asked you the real meaning of the elections in one State and hoped to get your impression formed on the ground and in that way get rid of my apprehensions or have them confirmed and if confirmed take steps as far practicable to avert evil My belief is that we are to have troubles north of the Ohio. What is yours? If the signs force that conclusion what are we to do are we to wait until all the arrangements of the conspirators are perfect and then calmly submit to the triumph of Jeff Davis's Allies or shall we prepare for the emergency and crush them out You are on the ground and might be more informed upon the principal questions Assuming the reality of the [illegible] or suspected plans of the revolutionists might not the Governor <hr /> have a military force under his control to meet emergencies, If that shall be thought necessary I think there can be no difficulty in organizing such a force and that too in such manner as will be free from difficulty There are today in Illinois from ten to twenty thousand able bodied me absent from their regiments Three fourths of these men may be gathered at Springfield or at any other place or places in the state and made a vigorous decided commando kept and drilled as long as there is danger This force may be sufficient for all [illegible] purposes and I think you ought have it I should regret to see the loyal men of Illinois exhibiting too much eagerness to appeal to arms but I hope never to see another revolution ripen on this country under the eyes of a timid government until it almost succeeds without the forms of resistance. If there is danger of trouble upon an [introduction?] from the Governor I will myself come to Springfield and assist in preparing to meet it Let us be cautious Do no act subversive or orders but let no Childish apprehensions prevent the loyal men of Illinois from taking prompt steps to ferret out and crush the plans of traitors, If the Governor should invite me to Springfield to confer "in reference to the interests of Ills troops in the field” I will obtain leave of <hr /> absence at once It must be understood that my sources of information are not very satisfactory and I am prepared to hear any will gladly hear that there is not danger. Still you at home may as one make up your minds today as you will be compelled to do here after that there is a type of Democracy in all the Northern states which is in strict alliance with Richmond Whether its part in the programme of revolution includes physical resistance to the government or not or whether its whole but infamous part is to excite faction stimulate divisions and by these and other infamous means embarass the government I am not prepared to say. They may intend violence Let them be watched and let the government be prepared with a force on hand to meet and crush them. Dont wait until they succeed in involving their innocent followers in crime Dont let us perish from imbecility. This letter must be regarded as confidential and my ignorance of the real state of things may render me more than unreasonably suspicious Present my kindest regards to all and believe me as ever Yours &c J M Palmer <hr /> John M Palmer.

Camp at Sturgeon Ill July 24th 1861 Governor Yates Dear Sir Knowing your interest in all the regiments of the State I presume as I hope quite naturaley, that you would be pleased to be reminded of the 14th raised as it was in the old 6th Distrt and in which you have so many personal friends. On the 5th of July we left Camp Wood for Canton Mo, took Jim Green and let him go again, though some of our friends think he ought to have been hung. Indeed if I had been allowed to stay there and protect the Union men or had had the means of arming them for their own protection I would have sent him to St. Louis for trial as I could neither protect or arm the Union men I yielded to their advice and let him go. I am still satisfied that I was right. From Canton we moved to Monroe Mo for the relief of Col. Smith, and from thence after marches and counter marches to Sturgeon Mo and that I may literally realize the full blessing afar, <hr />itinerant life I remove my Head Quarters ten miles tomorrow to Renick having been charged today with the management of about Forty miles of Rail Road and watching large numbers of Secessionistes. I write to your however with reference to my interests in the welfare of my regiment. The Medical Board rejected D. Stevenson though judging him by the ordinary and what has always to me seemed the most satisfactory rule, – success and good character he ought not be rejected. I am exceedingly sorry, that he failed, to secure the approval of the Board but allow me now to ask, that if the D. cannot be appointed, that no appointment for my regiment be made until I come to Springfield, which will be about the 1st of August Respectfully John Palmer <hr /> Col.

Camp at Sturgeon Ill July 24th 1861 Governor Yates Dear Sir Knowing your interest in all the regiments of the State I presume as I hope quite naturaley, that you would be pleased to be reminded of the 14th raised as it was in the old 6th Distrt and in which you have so many personal friends. On the 5th of July we left Camp Wood for Canton Mo, took Jim Green and let him go again, though some of our friends think he ought to have been hung. Indeed if I had been allowed to stay there and protect the Union men or had had the means of arming them for their own protection I would have sent him to St. Louis for trial as I could neither protect or arm the Union men I yielded to their advice and let him go. I am still satisfied that I was right. From Canton we moved to Monroe Mo for the relief of Col. Smith, and from thence after marches and counter marches to Sturgeon Mo and that I may literally realize the full blessing afar, <hr />itinerant life I remove my Head Quarters ten miles tomorrow to Renick having been charged today with the management of about Forty miles of Rail Road and watching large numbers of Secessionistes. I write to your however with reference to my interests in the welfare of my regiment. The Medical Board rejected D. Stevenson though judging him by the ordinary and what has always to me seemed the most satisfactory rule, – success and good character he ought not be rejected. I am exceedingly sorry, that he failed, to secure the approval of the Board but allow me now to ask, that if the D. cannot be appointed, that no appointment for my regiment be made until I come to Springfield, which will be about the 1st of August Respectfully John Palmer <hr /> Col.

To do this use all recruits in the manner before spoken of Allow any regiment between 7 and 66 to unite whenever they can make a satisfactory arrangement with any regiment of a higher number the consolidated regiment to take the number of the lowest one For example the 22nd and 110th regts are eager to be consolidated and to be called 22nd Together they have the requisite number of Field Officers and together have barely 500 men for duty The 21st has I believe one Field Officer the 73rd has perhaps two with not over two hundred men I think if it was permitted I could arrange for the consolidation under this plan of nearly all the regiments in this army and by doing so vast expenses would be avoided and thus efficiency greatly <hr /> increased Of course the “States Rights” doctrine being now at a discount the consent of the War Department would be necessary to this but I presume that consent could be procured by you if the plan meets your approval I only propose as you will see voluntary consolation I am very respectfully John M Palmer All quiet here but this report will not arrive for many days longer The rebels must go back on “Show cause” J M P <hr /> Palmer, John M.

I replied by telegraph that I could not accept though I regretted it very much. It would be improper for me to dismiss so flattering an offer from your Excellency without explaining my reason for so doing. The regiment to which I have belonged since the beginning of this war is being converted into a light-artillery regiment. The work we have undertaken is a very great one, and will demand the united efforts of all engaged in it. Therefore, although my position in the regiment is a subordinate one, I do not feel at liberty to abandon it for the sake of promotion.
