Cope " 11/5/64 With Alfred Milner letter 11/21/64 Albion Edwards Co Ills Nov 7th 1864 Hon R Yates Gov Ills Sir it is with much pleasure that I embrace the opportunity now offered me of expressing my unqualified aprobation of my much esteemed friend Dr A Milner, now wishing to enter the service of the United States as an Assistant Surgeon, a course I have often urged upon him. Professionally I have been acquainted with Dr Milner 5 or 6 years as a medical student of fare attainments, and for the last two years, I have been more intimately acquainted with his abilities as a Physician & Surgeon, having often met him at the bed side of the sick, and having had his assistance in several Surgical Operations, in all of which he has proved himself amply capable and efficient. At this time when so many are proving themselves entirely unworthy, - Although perhaps capable - I think that a better appointment could not <hr /> will be made. As to loyalty I can say, that it is unquestionable having acted with more or less for the last two years in the Union League. Again let me express my earnest convictions that, should my friend be employed in the capacity to which he aspires, none connected with the department will have reason to regret it. Any consideration shown him will be estimated by myself and his many friends here as a personal favor In the success of our valiant solitins sailors and our Glorious Cause I am truly yours L.W.

Yates Dear Sir - I think if you could give J Henry Shaw a place in the army the effect would be beneficial - you are aware that in these trying times it is best to do everything possible to bind and unite men in favor of the government- Shaw has been entirely sober and has conducted himself well for sometime, he is a man of the best talent in Cass County - and is loyal - but so identified with the democracy here that he don't do any good for the County - now if you could assist him to a place I think his services at home <hr /> and abroad would be of great benefit - He would make a for better Colonel than Charles Fox - in fact he is that style of man of John A. Logan whatever way he goes - he does his best - I wish you could give him a place for I am sure he would do well- Cant you write him a letter that would encourage him even a good letter from you would help him and prepare him to defend the conscription act which if necessary to put in force will need all the defence it can get.
