Comptroller's Office Nashville Tenn. July 22nd 1862 Gov. R. Yates Dr Sir: I have just read your letter to President Lincoln and can assure you that it meets the approbation of the loyal men of this state. I regret to say that the cause of the country has gone back since the evacuation of Corinth. Treason must be struck in its most vital points and with the same spirit that a man trikes for his life when assailed by the robber. If the government intends to subdue this rebellion it must impoverish traitors and render the cause odious. The administration must select its the friends of the nation & intrust to them the duty of executing its wishes. We are by no means in a safe condition. Our state is overrun with prowling bands of the enemy's cavalry. They come within a few miles of the capital capture our pickets and are off in a few hours. We are without the means of pursuing. Rebels now feel secure under the protection of the Federal government whilst true men alone are in danger. <hr /> Your letter has taken the proper view of the present crisis. Unless more celerity & determination more honesty and earnestness can be brought to bear, the war will last for years. If it is struck fiercely and in its vital points, the fall campaign will in a good degree do the work. If the present armies are overthrown, no more can be raised. The cotton states have all their force in the field. In Virginia the Confederate force greatly outnumbered the Federal. East Tennessee is the key to Federal power here. Put those mountains in loyal hands and we are safe. The loyal people there will soon make that region a unit when they are released from rebel tyranny. Their sufferings have been immense. Many of the best citizens have already perished. Among the number O. P. Temple has perished in the prisons of Tuscaloosa. No finer or nobler man has lived or died. We lament his loss. I hope your letter will meet with the same response from the country that it meets in Tennessee. Yours respectfully Jos. S. Fowler <hr /> James S. Fowler Comptrollers Office Nashville Tenn.

Geneseo Ill Nov 18th 1864 Hon Richard Yates Gov State of Ill. Dear Sir. On the 28th day of Oct. I was Mustered out as Chaplain of the 139th Ill. Infty Vols. at Peoria, by James A Hall, 1st Lieut, 1st U.S. Cav.y. He refused to give me a Certificate of non-indebtedness, for the lack of which, I could get no pay of the pay master who paid off the Regt: nor have I been able to get any pay yet. Now I have it from high Authority that it was the duty of that officer to have given me such certificate, as from the very nature of my position, it would be seen that I could give the govt nothing for ordnance or ordnance Stores. I obtained the certificate of Col <hr /> Davidson & also that of Q. M. Bryner that I had never had in my possession a penny's worth of Ordnance, Ordnance Stores, nor Q. M. property. & did not owe a cent for any such property. Still he declined, in a very abrupt & ungentlemanly Manner to Entertain the Subject for a Moment, & compelled me to wait until I have no idea when for my pay. I have never drawn a farthing of pay since I Entered the service, in June. I am poor & my family is suffering for the want of my Summer's Earnings. Now I appeal to you for help & redress. You have the reputation of being the Soldier's friend. Can you not see to it that I am at once put in the way of speedily getting my pay? Why should I be thus kept out of <hr /> my pay? The Iowa & Ohio 100 days troops, officers & all, got their pay at their muster out, & they were mustered out at the Expiration of their time. The mustering officer Audited their Accounts & ballanced them, & gave the necessary Certificates to Enable the officers to get what pay they were Entitled to. He did this for the Military officers, saying nothing about the Chaplains, who he knew of course would owe the Govt nothing for Military Stores. If I Should forward my discharge papers to Springfield, could you not order my pay to be made ready for me at once? The pay master, Maj Reynolds was ready to pay me at Peoria & said I ought to be paid & ought to have my Certificate of non-indebtedness from the mustering officer. The simple <hr /> disgraceful truth is, the mustering officer, while at Peoria thought a hundred fold more of good brandy & of having a rollicking "good time" than he did of our interests & rights as Soldiers of the Country: & treated the officers with coarse insult when they presumed to approach him & press their wishes & wants upon him in any way. As an honest & faithful soldier of the Republic, I feel to Enter my indignant protest against such treatment from any officer, no matter who! And Especially in the matter of my pay. After due Service to my beloved country has been faithfully performed. Of Course you are Entirely blameless in the Case, I only allude to it here as an aggravation of the trials I have to Endure in Consequence of being kept out of my pay so long. - May I not anticipate relief at your hands?

Hillsboro April 17. 1861 Govr Yates, Dear Sir. I wrote you repeatedly at Washington in relation to our Post Office at this place, also in connection with others wrote the Hon. L. Trumbull. I have never heard from either of you. From your assurances at Springfield I supposed the wishes of our friends here would be consulted in relation to the matter, but it turns out different. A Mr. Mears today is appointed Post Master, Contrary to the will and wishes of what I know to be 19/20 of the republican party here. He is almost a total stranger and has no claims on any body. If Mr Trumbull or yourself can sustain our party in this section by totally disregarding the will and wishes of our whole community it is well, but time will develope. I sent you, during the session of the Legislature, a petition for the appointment of A. H. Brown as Notary Public. I have never heard of it. I merely allude to those matters. I feel that I am under no political obligations to any person <hr /> I further consider that there is nothing due me if there is I this day balance my books and henceforth feel free. As a time has arrived when a petition signed by all our old and prominent men of our party has no influence in a little contemptible post office or Notary Public it is time for us to eschew politics and turn our attention in some other direction. I have under all circumstances endeavored to do my duty. I have always given my aid to those I considered my friends. I have asked for little and got less, and will try to content myself with the reflection that I have been fully appreciated and properly paid. I am still for the Union but I am frank to confess that I shall henceforth cease from that interest that I have heretofore felt in the success of individuals.

Hillsboro Oct. 21, 1861. Govr. Yates, Dear Sir - I was in your city about one week attending Synod, and hoped to see you - I have a friend here, who would like to get a situation in the army. It is Frank H. Gilmore who has been publishing a democratic paper here for some years, and has done us great service for the Union in this our Country's trial. He has a brother 1st Lt. in Co H. 9th Regt, now at Paducah. If you could give him a situation that would pay him equal to Capt or 1st Lt. it would a favor never to be forgotten by me. He is poor and is related to me by marriage. He has a good business head and very energetic. A situation in the Qr. Master Dept. or Adjt would suit him. His efforts in our County, in his paper, contributed much to allay the Southern feeling of the democracy in our County at the Commencement of the rebellion. Let me hear from you. Your friend J. T. Eccles <hr /> J. T. Eccles Recommending Frank H Gilmore.

Washington Home for Negro children and the McLean County Tuberculosis Association.  She lobbied for the establishment of Fairview Sanatorium, which was dedicated in Bloomington in 1919. In 1924, after women’s suffrage was passed, Florence was encouraged to run for the State Senate.  She ran as a Republican and won, under the slogan “Law enforcement, Christian citizenship and reduction of taxes”.  Her bills included real estate tax payments in two installments, foster homes for welfare children, registration and standards for public health nurses, regulation of dance halls by county supervisors, control of state parks by the Department of Public Works and Buildings and the adoption of the state song, “Illinois”.  She was re-elected for a second term in 1929.

A life-long Unitarian, Bohrer served as president of the board of her church and director of the American Unitarian Association. She received many awards and citations, including the Bloomington Community Service Award (1934), the Illinois Welfare Association Citation (1945) and the Distinguished Service Award from Southern Illinois University (1956).
