                    <text>&lt;p&gt;Shawnee Town June 14th, 1865.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hon R Yates.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I received your truly discouriging letter, but feel it a duty I owe myself and children to prosicute my claim.  You tell me; perhaps Mr O H Browning would attend to it for me.  You will please let me know where I may direct a letter to him, also when you made that aplication for me, I was not aware that any had been made except the one made by myself to the President.  I do not think that Government, or the authorities of this State, intended to impoverish or breake me up when they took my place, but such has been the result, as I owned nothing but that place had nothing to live on but what was there, and it is now nearly four years since every thing I had was sacrifice or distroid, and been living upon expences
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;involving myself, till that home may pass from me forever.  These facts will I hope be sufficient apology for troubling you.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Respectfully yours
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;M G Eddy.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He wrote to me &amp;amp; I made application - now says He did not know I had made app -- so no more about it
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;July 18. 1865
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;M G
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mr. Eddy  Shawneetown
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hon R Yates.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I received your truly discouriging letter, but feel it a duty I owe myself and children to prosicute my claim.  You tell me; perhaps Mr O H Browning would attend to it for me.  You will please let me know where I may direct a letter to him, also when you made that aplication for me, I was not aware that any had been made except the one made by myself to the President.  I do not think that Government, or the authorities of this State, intended to impoverish or breake me up when they took my place, but such has been the result, as I owned nothing but that place had nothing to live on but what was there, and it is now nearly four years since every thing I had was sacrifice or distroid, and been living upon expences
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;involving myself, till that home may pass from me forever.  These facts will I hope be sufficient apology for troubling you.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Respectfully yours
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;M G Eddy.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He wrote to me &amp;amp; I made application - now says He did not know I had made app -- so no more about it
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;July 18. 1865
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;M G
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mr. Eddy  Shawneetown
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;His Ex—y Governor Yates of Ill.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Having been a resident and payer of taxes for near thirty years in this State, and knowing our taxes are greatly increased by previous injudicious Legislation, I would therefore beg that you as Governor and as the peoples representative as such of the State of Illinois would recommend to our Legislature at its next sitting that our terms of court be shortened to two weeks and but three terms during one year and that the jury be paid by those disposed to litigate this county (Will) held its Dec term nine weeks, all the money in dispute would not pay the jury or half pay it, cheaper by far would it be to be taxed to pay all damages between parties than to hold court to settle common disputes between men who seek litigation
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Why a jury kept one whole week on one little pig case – only six or seven cases tried during the term of nine weeks I understand.  The county I left East was as populous as Will is now, and the terms of each court was confined to one week and but three terms during one year two of county and one of circuit every one understood it and prepared accordingly –
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am &amp;amp;c with great respect your obedient servt  
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;M. Holmes
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Holmes. M.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Joliet Will Co
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Feb 22.1864
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Complains of the long Sittings of Court in Will Co. and begs Gov. to recommend to the Legislature to abbreviate the terms, to  lighten taxation.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ansd will take the subject into consideration for next message 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;March 18 64 Hirschbach
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Write thanking for letter – shall have full consideration
&lt;/p&gt;
