Springfield, Ill. Feb. 24th, 1863. Gov. Yates: Dear Sir having been called to Springfield on business, I called to see you at your Office, and was sorry to learn that you were too unwell to receive visitors. I did not prepare and forward to you the papers in regard to our county seat question, as I promised you, as upon reflection I felt convinced that it would be asking too much of you to interfere, and I further felt satisfied that we can beat the matter before the people. I desire, if it will not be asking to much of you, to present another matter, and most respectfully ask your favor. Iroquois County <hr /> has furnished for the Service more than 1200 men out of about 3100 [hunded?] that were subject to Military duty, as the returns of the enrolling Officer will show. The county has not a field Officer in the Service, or any other Military Officer of note. While in the Old Congressional Districts The Other Counties always monopolized all the Offices. The election last fall shows Iroquois County to be the banner Republican county in the 9th Congression District, yet Coles & Vermillion were honored with the appointment of the Federal Assessor and Collector. The county has ever been true to the Republican party, and has not been wanting in loyalty and patriotism. we have not been aspiring, and have asked but few favors, yet feel that our claims are entitled to respect. I have worked faithfully, and I think, honestly, in the ranks <hr /> of the Republican party, since its organization. In conducting the Iroquois Republican, I have become considerably involved in debt. My [health?] is such that I am not able to pursue the practice of Medicine, and for that reason I entered the profession of the Law some four years since. I can realize but little from the practice of Law, as the war has almost ruined that business in our county. If the congressional Conscription Bill becomes a law, I desire the appointment of Provost Marshall for our Congressional District. We are in the 7th, but if you have signed the late apportionment Bill, Iroquois will be in the 10th District. If you will be kind enough to recommend me for the position I desire, I will be under great obligations for the favor. If my request be granted, please forward the recommendation to me, at Middleport, Ill. Yours truly, C.F. McNeill. <hr /> C.F. McNeill. Middleport, Ill. Feb 24th/63.
