Peoria, Ill March 1, 1863. Hon. Rich'd Yates Springfield, Ill My Dear Sir: I am home from Young's Point for a short time for the purpose of recruiting my health, somewhat seriously impaired by a violent and persistent attack of the prevailing camp disease at that place. I have had no opportunity until since my arrival here of reading your message to the Late Legislature, but having finished a careful perusal of it I desire to thank you, sir, as a citizen of Illinois and a soldier in the service of the Union, for <hr /> this matchless and timely official paper, so honorable to you as an individual and so creditable to you as the chief officer of our goodly and glorious State. Interesting and highly instructive in its statement of facts connected with our wonderful development in material resources, pregnant with Suggestions and recommendations of vital importance, yet its crowning merit is its eloquent, hopeful and unanswerable logic and appeal in behalf of the imperilled Government of our fathers. I have renewed my zeal and rebaptized my faith in your powerful and patriotic utterances, the Surest success, the speediest and safest peace lie lastly <hr /> in the directions which you have pointed out. I am hopeful that we shall all travel in those directions ere long. The evidences of a reaction among the contemptible plotters for an ignoble peace are everywhere visible. That they have made asses as well as knaves of themselves is a fact which they manifestly begin to realize. The State of Sentiment in the Army has doubtless largely contributed to this result. And this reminds me in this connection to say that I am to-day in receipt of a letter from Col. Grier, in which, writing from Young's Point, Feb. 16, he says: "If you should come through Spf'd <hr /> on your return, stop and see the Governor and tender the Services of the Reg't to him, if he wants them, for the purpose of visiting Illinois and cleaning out the traitors in that state, commencing with the Legislature, I should like to assist in a job of that kind, for I know of nothing that wants attention so much as that Same Legislature." I know you would be gratified, were you as well aware as I am, of the high personal esteem in which you are held among all the Illinois Regiments in Gen. Grant's portion of the Army, which is the only portion whose sentiments I have any knowledge of. I want <hr /> to obtain a package of copies of your message to distribute among the Illinoisians in our Brigade upon my return The message would be read with great avidity, and would do much good in more senses than one I will try and stop over in Springfield upon my return and get them. Respectfully Your ob't Servant, L. R. Webb, Lt. Col. 77th Reg't Ill Vols. <hr /> Lt. Col. R. L. Webb, Peoria, March 1, '63, 77th Regt.

ASSISTANT ASSESSOR'S OFFICE, United State Internal Revenue, !st Division, 13th District, Illinois. Tamaroa Perry Co Aug 18 1865 Hon. Rich Yates Jacksonville Ill. Dear Sir, Yours of 15 is just see. I enclose herewith a list, as requested of Union Men that would I think make good use of such documents as you may [front] to them - With a little more time I can + will if wished make a list more fully extended - + one including some of those who yet claim to be "Good Democrats", as [ever]. Your friend truly L.S. Norton Personal An effort has been made to have D.C.Barber Il. S. assessor of this District removed - it was favored by the present Rep. ( Kerry Mendale) from this District - because (it was said) that Barber was not for him for nomination after "K." was nominated. I know that every nerve was strained to elect him as successor - More I believe that it would not be best to make any <hr /> change - least of all such a change as was proposed The effort was made by a few as I understand prompted by personal feelings toward Barber for having so fully abandoned some of his old associations. And dislike of the close organization of the Il. S. A. that I have been instrumental in establishing - in other words they hated me because they could not use me and Barber because we would not either of us go for any thing like compromise with "Democracy" even when christened "Man" - that effort failed - it will probably be renewed again during the fall or winter. I hope your influence will be against it. But if Mr. Barbers removal is determined upon by the powers that be, may I ask that you urge my name for appointment to the place as his successor. As 1st asst. I have been conversant with the duties of the office from the beginning. My health has been such for 2 or 3 years that I can attend personally to all the details as well as general supervision of the office - of fitness cc you can judge - With highest regards, as ever yours L.S.Norton <hr /> With L.S.Norton letter 8/18/65 List of Names in Perry Co.
