                  <text>David Davis, a lawyer, politician, distinguished jurist and businessman, was born in Maryland, educated at Kenyon College in Ohio, and studied law at Yale University. Davis married Sarah Woodruff Walker in 1838 and they had five children including George Perrin Davis and Sarah "Sally" Davis. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 1844, Davis won election as a Whig to the Illinois Legislature, and four years later was elected Judge of Illinois Eighth Judicial Circuit, where he served on the bench during Lincoln's remaining years as an attorney on the circuit. The two became close friends, and Davis worked diligently as Lincoln's campaign manager at the 1860 Republican nominating convention in Chicago. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 1862, President Lincoln appointed Davis to the United States Supreme Court, where Davis wrote the majority opinion in Ex parte Milligan, a landmark decision restricting the rights of military courts to try civilians. In 1877, he resigned from the court after being elected to the United States Senate by the Illinois Legislature. Davis served as Senate president pro tempore from 1881 to 1883, and was known unofficially as "Mr. Vice President." He retired from the Senate in 1883.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;Davis invested in real estate with De Witt County attorney, Clifton H. Moore, and became a man of considerable wealth. He had the distinction of being the largest landowner in Illinois. At the time of his death, June 26, 1886, his estate was valued between four to five million dollars-a huge fortune in his day.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The finding aid for the David Davis Family Papers at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum may be found at:&amp;nbsp;http://alplm-cdi.com/chroniclingillinois/items/show/165.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Photographs in this collection include portraits of several members of the David Davis and George P. Davis families. The collection also includes portraits of Judge Davis' law colleagues, images of Bloomington, Illinois, and photographs of miscellaneous buildings throughout the United States.</text>

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear sir:
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Two of my Neighbors David McCain &amp;amp; Wm Dewitt have sold off all their goods and effects in order to pay all their honest debts and return again to Ohio from whence they came a few years ago this they did before there was made this last call for volunteers or drafted 
militia. They do not wish to leave the state without your permission and therefore pray you to grant them a pass
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;beyond the limits of this state I can asure you they are both loyal to the government McCain is rather puisne Dewitt has a serious impediment in his speech so much so that he sometimes has to give up without getting said what he wishes to
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I expect to be with you in company with volunteers from this place in a few days
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yours Respectfully

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gov. Richard Yates
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;At the battle of Lexington Mo, I, being a member of the 1st Reg. of Ill. Cav. lost a horse, which I, in common with the other members of the Reg. furnished at my own expense. Being wounded in that battle, I was unfit for service when the Reg. was reformed, but reported myself at St Louis and received my final discharge.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have tried every means within my knowledge to procure pay for my horse which was appraised at Quincy by Capt. J. C. Davis, at $100.00 (one hundred dollars)
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Not being able to receive any
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;information in regard to the pay, or means of procuring it, from either officers of the Reg. or any other source, I have as a last resource applied to you for information on the subject.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hoping that you will not consider my addressing you, as impertinant, I remain
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Very Respectfully 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your Obt. Servant
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;M. Vic Hotchkiss

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;How can I get pay for my horse killed at the battle of Lexington Mo.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gen. Fuller
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I desire to give Hotchkiss the best information I can. Please have a letter prepared for me to sign &amp;amp; oblige  R Y

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gov. Richard Yates
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;At the battle of Lexington Mo, I, being a member of the 1st Reg. of Ill. Cav. lost a horse, which I, in common with the other members of the Reg. furnished at my own expense. Being wounded in that battle, I was unfit for service when the Reg. was reformed, but reported myself at St Louis and received my final discharge.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have tried every means within my knowledge to procure pay for my horse which was appraised at Quincy by Capt. J. C. Davis, at $100.00 (one hundred dollars)
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Not being able to receive any
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;information in regard to the pay, or means of procuring it, from either officers of the Reg. or any other source, I have as a last resource applied to you for information on the subject.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hoping that you will not consider my addressing you, as impertinant, I remain
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Very Respectfully 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your Obt. Servant
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;M. Vic Hotchkiss
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To His Excellency 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hon. Richard Yates
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;1st Cavalry
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;M. Vic Hotckiss
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Peoria. Apl 3/62
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;How can I get pay for my horse killed at the battle of Lexington Mo.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gen. Fuller
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I desire to give Hotchkiss the best information I can. Please have a letter prepared for me to sign &amp;amp; oblige  R Y 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;[illegible]  ansd

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gov Yates
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir  On my return to day I find your kind favor of the 27th inst requesting me to be in your place on the opening of the session of the legislature. This it will be impossible for me to do as I adjourned Court for one week to go to Warren &amp;amp; Henderson Counties. There is however but one Case set down for trial &amp;amp; which will take perhaps about two days. I think I can be in your place on Wednesday or Thursday &amp;amp; will do so or sooner if possible
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I went to Monmouth on Monday last and saw Hon J Strain. I found it difficult to draw him out squarely on the senatorial question He however says he is not pledged to any one and does not intend to be. After talking some time he said he was for you. He evidently did not intend to commit himself. I could not get him to pledge himself or to commit himself as fairly and frankly as I desired. I am however satisfied from all I could draw out of him that at present he feels more favorable to you than any other. My interview
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;with him not having been in all respects as satisfactory as I desired and he at last holding out the idea to me that he was going for you without committing himself as fairly as I desired I then went to some others in the place whom I knew to be deeply interested in your election to have them use all efforts they could in your behalf. They told me that he had always talked in your favor but that they also feared he would fly the track. They say that there is two things wanting to secure him. 1st he wants to go for the strongest man &amp;amp; will not commit himself satisfactorily until he ascertains who that man is. 2nd He will probably want some favors of some kind and wants to know that the man he supports will lend him a helping hand. I left him in the hands of good men that will do all they can for you
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I then went to Oquawka &amp;amp; saw Simpson &amp;amp; found him first in the same state of mind Simpson told me you were his first choice and that he knew if it was left to a vote of his constituents or to the people of the state no one would stand any show against you
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I asked him then if he did not believe
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;it to be his duty to represent his constituents as well in the election of senator as any other measure. He replied that he supposed they expected their wishes in that to be carried out also. I told him not only did they expect their wishes carried out but that they and our brave soldiers in the field would hold him to a rigid accountability if it was not done The truth is Strain &amp;amp; Simpson both will expect favors if opportunity occurs and in that I believe the whole trouble lies
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is talked in Monmouth of getting up a public meeting to instruct for you. This I thought would be a good move and advised it to be done
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now Governor I have written you just what I found the truth to be and I hope you and your friends will be able to convince them both that you will be elected and if so that you will do something for them if opportunity should occur and then I think all will be well
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I should like much to be in Springfield at the opening of the session and shall be there in time to do any thing I can for you
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Whilst in Monmouth I saw Mr Martin representative from that district. I only however had casual conversation with him on the senatorial question for your friends assured me he is all right and determined to go for you
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hoping &amp;amp; believing that you will be triumphantly elected on our next United States Senator for the term of six years &amp;amp; as much longer as you desire that honor I remain
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yours Truly
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;M Williamson
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;P.S. As to my views of the motives of Messrs Strain and Simpson in this letter I hope you will observe as confidential
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;M W
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Williamson M.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Peoria Dec. 30th 1864.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cannot be here.  Has been to Monmouth &amp;amp; Oquawka to see Strain &amp;amp; Simpson. They are both uncommitted and he thinks want some favor and if you can convince them you will be elected and promise them a helping hand you can depend upon their support.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gov Yates
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir  On my return to day I find your kind favor of the 27th inst requesting me to be in your place on the opening of the session of the legislature. This it will be impossible for me to do as I adjourned Court for one week to go to Warren &amp;amp; Henderson Counties. There is however but one Case set down for trial &amp;amp; which will take perhaps about two days. I think I can be in your place on Wednesday or Thursday &amp;amp; will do so or sooner if possible
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I went to Monmouth on Monday last and saw Hon J Strain. I found it difficult to draw him out squarely on the senatorial question He however says he is not pledged to any one and does not intend to be. After talking some time he said he was for you. He evidently did not intend to commit himself. I could not get him to pledge himself or to commit himself as fairly and frankly as I desired. I am however satisfied from all I could draw out of him that at present he feels more favorable to you than any other. My interview
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;with him not having been in all respects as satisfactory as I desired and he at last holding out the idea to me that he was going for you without committing himself as fairly as I desired I then went to some others in the place whom I knew to be deeply interested in your election to have them use all efforts they could in your behalf. They told me that he had always talked in your favor but that they also feared he would fly the track. They say that there is two things wanting to secure him. 1st he wants to go for the strongest man &amp;amp; will not commit himself satisfactorily until he ascertains who that man is. 2nd He will probably want some favors of some kind and wants to know that the man he supports will lend him a helping hand. I left him in the hands of good men that will do all they can for you
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I then went to Oquawka &amp;amp; saw Simpson &amp;amp; found him first in the same state of mind Simpson told me you were his first choice and that he knew if it was left to a vote of his constituents or to the people of the state no one would stand any show against you
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I asked him then if he did not believe
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;it to be his duty to represent his constituents as well in the election of senator as any other measure. He replied that he supposed they expected their wishes in that to be carried out also. I told him not only did they expect their wishes carried out but that they and our brave soldiers in the field would hold him to a rigid accountability if it was not done The truth is Strain &amp;amp; Simpson both will expect favors if opportunity occurs and in that I believe the whole trouble lies
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is talked in Monmouth of getting up a public meeting to instruct for you. This I thought would be a good move and advised it to be done
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now Governor I have written you just what I found the truth to be and I hope you and your friends will be able to convince them both that you will be elected and if so that you will do something for them if opportunity should occur and then I think all will be well
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I should like much to be in Springfield at the opening of the session and shall be there in time to do any thing I can for you
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Whilst in Monmouth I saw Mr Martin representative from that district. I only however had casual conversation with him on the senatorial question for your friends assured me he is all right and determined to go for you
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hoping &amp;amp; believing that you will be triumphantly elected on our next United States Senator for the term of six years &amp;amp; as much longer as you desire that honor I remain
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yours Truly
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;M Williamson
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;P.S. As to my views of the motives of Messrs Strain and Simpson in this letter I hope you will observe as confidential
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;M W
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Williamson M.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Peoria Dec. 30th 1864.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cannot be here.  Has been to Monmouth &amp;amp; Oquawka to see Strain &amp;amp; Simpson. They are both uncommitted and he thinks want some favor and if you can convince them you will be elected and promise them a helping hand you can depend upon their support.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I learned at Shawneetown this morning through Addison of Mattoon that the order for raising troops for State defence has been revoked - This is much to be regretted, as the Cavalry regiment could soon have been organized, and moreover it is absolutely necessary for the
peace of the State in this portion of it.  The [democracy?] here talk and mean treason
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;will you be good enough to advise me immediately, whether there is any prospect of my regiment being accepted, 800 men have already been enrolled, Write me upon receipt of this. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yours Truly

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gov. Yates.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I learned at Shawneetown this morning through Addison of Mattoon that the order for raising troops for State defence has been revoked - This is much to be regretted, as the Cavalry regiment could soon have been organized, and moreover it is absolutely necessary for the
peace of the State in this portion of it.  The [democracy?] here talk and mean treason
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;will you be good enough to advise me immediately, whether there is any prospect of my regiment being accepted, 800 men have already been enrolled, Write me upon receipt of this. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yours Truly
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;M. B. Brown
