Quincy Illinois Jan 7th 1865 His Excellency Gov. Richard Yates Springfield Ills. Dear Sir Since the report rendered you two years ago, I have been but part of the time engaged in the discharge of my Allotment duties, and as the recommendation there made to the Legislature respecting pay to our Commission has not been carried out, I respectfully report my further efforts; and [ask?] your favourable interest, so that we may be enabled to secure that which is justly our due. I fully appreciate the circumstances which have heretofore existed, to prevent carrying out the assurances made us,---and hope you will not consider this note intrusive or intended to reflect in any way. It is far from my intention. The first six months---of 1863 I spent in the active discharges of the duties of the commission collecting in the field as much as possible after each payment and then returning to distribute by the most expeditious method. I found our Soldiers invariably preferred that the distribution should be made <hr /> by Express, and that Treasury Notes should be sent. This necessarily occasioned some expense as the amount of Drafts brought home could never be cashed in Treasury Notes without discount, or the gross Amt---Expressed from the nearest U. S. depository, to the three points from which I distributed. to wit Springfield, Chicago and Quincy. I secured such arrangements with the Pay Department, or rendered the transmission of this fund actively safe and had it been possible to secure such assistance as I needed, I humbly believe I could have been a material help to the great majority of our Soldiers and their families I fully believe that one fourth of the entire amount I have Collected, is a clear saving to the Soldier and family and as much to the State at large. Want of means [illegible] me doing more untill in Oct of the same year, when under the direction of the Illinois Sanitary Commission I again visited the army in the double capacity of Commissioner and Sanitary Agent, the San/ Commission paying my expenses & time. I met every encouragement and collected and sent back to the Treasurer and other parties for distribution, about One Hundred and Forty <hr /> Thousand Dollars collected in One Month. As the Ex Board of the Commission did not feel prepared to expend more than the actual expense of travel & incidentals incurred, without allowance for my time, I found myself again reluctantly compelled to abandon the enterprise untill means could be provided. I have collected and disbursed during the whole time employed Seven Hundred and Twenty Thousand Dollars, without expense or the loss of one Dollar. So far as my Knowledge extends (unless to myself) I hope our present Legislature will provide means and measures to make the commission efficient and successfull. No more desirable favour can be extended our Soldiers and friends. Whether the time I have spent since my former report should entitle me to proportionate pay I leave for the proper parties to determine. I so expected while in the service. If it is out of your power to assist as directly, please suggest such course as ought to be pursued---or if not inconsistant present our claims to your successor. Excuse me for intruding upon your attention at this time, and believe me truly rejoiced that you have successfully <hr /> overcome the Treasonable machinations of the enemies of the Government throughout our State and the petty malice and intrigue of personal enemies to yourself.

(Frank Everett), 1856-1939 Black Hawk War (1832) Generals Soldiers War of 1812 Veterans Mexican War (1846-1848) Generals Legislators Indians of North America Description An account of the resource Frank E. Stevens was a lawyer, banker, newspaper editor and writer based in Illinois. Stevens was born and educated in Dixon, Illinois. He studied law in Sycamore, Illinois, and was admitted to the bar in 1877. Shortly after that he moved to South Dakota where he operated the Beadle County National Bank until 1890 when he moved to Chicago and worked in a brokerage business. In 1907 Stevens returned to Sycamore, Illinois, where he published the Dixon Weekly Citizen and later the Sycamore Tribune. He retired from the newspaper business in 1928 and was elected mayor of Sycamore in 1931. Governor Henry Horner appointed Stevens to the War Records Division of the office of the Adjutant General. Stevens was a historian who authored several historical works including The Black Hawk War. Stevens used the majority of the items in the collection while researching and writing The Black Hawk War. The Black Hawk War (1832), although brief, has much significance for Native American history. In April, tribal groups of Sauk, Meskwakis, and Kickapoo, led by Chief Black Hawk of the Sauk, crossed the Mississippi River from Iowa into Illinois. Known as the British Band, they claimed lands under the 1804 Treaty of St. Louis, a treaty the whites disputed. Fearful, militia’s fired on the Native American delegation in what led to the Battle of Stillman’s Run, a resounding defeat for the militias. Black Hawk was eventually defeat, however, at the battles of Wisconsin Heights and Bad Axe. Historically, the Black Hawk War legitimized and strengthened forcible relocation of Native American tribes further west. The finding aid for the Frank E. Stevens Papers, 1832-1939 at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum is located at: http://alplm-cdi.com/chroniclingillinois/items/show/610. Photographs in this collection include images of several individuals connected to the Black Hawk War including Chief Shabbona, Major Isaiah Stillman, Brigadier General Milton K. Alexander, Colonel Nathan Boone, and Brigadier General Henry Atkinson. The collection also includes images of prominent Illinois residents from the mid and late 19th century including actress Mary Garden, William S. Hamilton, and Charles B. Farwell. Still Image A static visual representation. Examples of still images are: paintings, drawings, graphic designs, plans and maps.
