Hon Gov Yates, Springfield Ills, Sir,
You will receive an account of the raids on our orchards by the Secesh.  Their plan seems to be to clean out union men by cutting down their orchards.  If not checked they will succeed.  Fruit growers are union men.  You cannot imagine their consternation.
We have thought best to suggest to you that you cause a skillful detective to be sent hither to work up a case or so The one of Mr Babcock's is easiest to get at. Mr. Babcock's whole property except the land consisted in his trees  He spent immense labor on them-he had the finest trees in the state.
One representing himself a deserter will be the man I think he will smoke the thing out in a short time.  This is of the utmost importance to the whole of southern Illinois.  If you can't do anything let us know to whom we can apply with success.  Something must be done or we are gone.  Communicate with me, or Babcock-or with Chas Colby, or Messers Evans South Pass
Very Respectfully Yours, N. C. Meeker
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mr. Welsh has been a man possessed of a large property in this city  But from over speculation has become reduced.  he is perfectly healthy and active 49 years old ready for any Service, and would no doubt face the Music as Brittons usually do

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Will you be kind enough to see some of your Military men and [name?] this matter and let me know at your earliest convenience If he is requested please issue a pass over the Mich &amp;amp; Central to be kept out of his first pay.  He is perfectly reliable

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mr. Welsh has been a man possessed of a large property in this city  But from over speculation has become reduced.  he is perfectly healthy and active 49 years old ready for any Service, and would no doubt face the Music as Brittons usually do

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Will you be kind enough to see some of your Military men and [name?] this matter and let me know at your earliest convenience If he is requested please issue a pass over the Mich &amp;amp; Central to be kept out of his first pay.  He is perfectly reliable

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Springfield, Ill.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sir-
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Although seeking a position, I know the demands upon your time, and will be brief. I hereby apply for a commission as Lt. Col or Major, on either Field or Staff duty. My qualifications are - I have been over a year in service, have acted as Instructor in both Infantry &amp;amp; Cavalry Regiments, am even tempered, well drilled &amp;amp; temperate, and have a Collegiate and legal education. I am well posted in the "Tactics" for drill, and in the "Regulations" for papers and accounts, and having been under, &amp;amp; associated with Regular Officers for the past nine months, have a tolerable knowledge of Army customs. I am not now in the service, having been mustered out as Cavalry Reg'tal Adjt. this summer, under the Gen'l Orders from the War Dept, mustering out Q.M's &amp;amp; Reg'tal Adjts of Cavalry and Artillery. I like the service, and don't wish to return to civil life while the war continues. I expected a Field Office under Blair, but applied too late. Gen's Schofield &amp;amp; Merrill, and Col's Callendar &amp;amp; Wood, all of this City, know me personally, and know my military history, and to them I refer. I am now at St Louis Arsenal, with Col. Callender, where I should be happy to hear from you. If you think necessary, I'll come to Springfield &amp;amp; pass an examination, as to my knowledge of military papers &amp;amp; drill, though I'm busy.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Very Respectfully
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your Obdt. Servt.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;N.D. Randall
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Ansd. Sept 16, 62

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Aug. 13.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Asks appointment of Lt. Col. or Major. Was late Reg'tl Cavalry Adjutant. Mo. Vols.

                    <text>&lt;p&gt;Jacksonville, 16th Jan. 1863
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;His Excellency R. Yates
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Governor of Illinois
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;May it please your Excellency!
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I was employed at the State House forty days, for which I was liberally remunerated. Anticipating a longer term of service in Springfield, I, on the strength of credit obtained here, supplied my family with clothing &amp;amp; other measures of which they stood greatly in need; the bills these created, absorbed very nearly the whole amount received in Springfield. No one, I think, will accuse me of extravagance in my family, when I state that my wife is deferred, from the want of clothing, of the privilege of attending church on Sabbath days, and that both she and myself frequently rise from our table &lt;u&gt;suffering from hunger&lt;/u&gt; in order that our children my have a sufficiency of the plainest &amp;amp; coarsest fare. Our butcher's bill for the last twelve months, has not reached $30; in fact, meat is a luxury we seldom enjoy. Before you left Springfield for Washington, you promised me employment which would occupy me four weeks. Your kindness I fully appreciate, &amp;amp; sincerely hope
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;that I may yet have an opportunity of evincing my gratitude. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My wife's relatives on Apple Creek are very numerous &amp;amp; influential. They are &lt;u&gt;all&lt;/u&gt; Democrat. Thirteen of these cast their votes for you at the November election before the last. And the majority of them, last fall, gave Squire Stacy their votes, with a view to serving me. When George Deatherage, a near relation of my wife's, heard that you had given me employment at Springfield, he observed, in my presence, that "Dick Yates was safe for the votes of one third of the Democracy on Apple Creek at any future elections."
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I do not recount these matters for the purpose of endeavoring to bribe you to do something for the relief of my family, but to show you that my wife's relatives are grateful for favors shown her. I believe if you had it in your power you would not suffer us to want; but I am aware that others, besides, have claims on your friendship. As I cannot witness the sufferings of my nine children, with stoicism, I must make one more effort for their relief. I must again solicit Mr. Seward for some subordinate situation in some distant land, which no other person would court; &amp;amp; to enable me to do this, I should feel much obliged if you would return me the memorial, or rather recommendation letter signed by some of the elite of our citizens. Some weeks since a gentleman from Kansas (who gave me his address,) recommended me to apply for 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;a land-office in that State, but Mr. Berdan thinks there would be insurmountable obstacles in the way. I have made efforts to obtain the Secretaryship to some of our military men, but find I am too late.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With the hope of hearing from you at your earliest leisure, &amp;amp; with most respectful compliments to your truly estimable lady, 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I subscribe myself,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your Excellency's obedt. Servt.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;N.G.F. Stephens.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;N. G. F. Stephens
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Jacksonville Jany 16
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;u&gt;Attended too!&lt;/u&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Please look up the paper referred to in [illegible] written &amp;amp; write a strong letter &amp;amp; return to Mr S with the papers
&lt;/p&gt;

                <text>&lt;p&gt;Jacksonville, 16th Jan. 1863
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;His Excellency R. Yates
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Governor of Illinois
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;May it please your Excellency!
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I was employed at the State House forty days, for which I was liberally remunerated. Anticipating a longer term of service in Springfield, I, on the strength of credit obtained here, supplied my family with clothing &amp;amp; other measures of which they stood greatly in need; the bills these created, absorbed very nearly the whole amount received in Springfield. No one, I think, will accuse me of extravagance in my family, when I state that my wife is deferred, from the want of clothing, of the privilege of attending church on Sabbath days, and that both she and myself frequently rise from our table &lt;u&gt;suffering from hunger&lt;/u&gt; in order that our children my have a sufficiency of the plainest &amp;amp; coarsest fare. Our butcher's bill for the last twelve months, has not reached $30; in fact, meat is a luxury we seldom enjoy. Before you left Springfield for Washington, you promised me employment which would occupy me four weeks. Your kindness I fully appreciate, &amp;amp; sincerely hope
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;that I may yet have an opportunity of evincing my gratitude. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My wife's relatives on Apple Creek are very numerous &amp;amp; influential. They are &lt;u&gt;all&lt;/u&gt; Democrat. Thirteen of these cast their votes for you at the November election before the last. And the majority of them, last fall, gave Squire Stacy their votes, with a view to serving me. When George Deatherage, a near relation of my wife's, heard that you had given me employment at Springfield, he observed, in my presence, that "Dick Yates was safe for the votes of one third of the Democracy on Apple Creek at any future elections."
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I do not recount these matters for the purpose of endeavoring to bribe you to do something for the relief of my family, but to show you that my wife's relatives are grateful for favors shown her. I believe if you had it in your power you would not suffer us to want; but I am aware that others, besides, have claims on your friendship. As I cannot witness the sufferings of my nine children, with stoicism, I must make one more effort for their relief. I must again solicit Mr. Seward for some subordinate situation in some distant land, which no other person would court; &amp;amp; to enable me to do this, I should feel much obliged if you would return me the memorial, or rather recommendation letter signed by some of the elite of our citizens. Some weeks since a gentleman from Kansas (who gave me his address,) recommended me to apply for 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;a land-office in that State, but Mr. Berdan thinks there would be insurmountable obstacles in the way. I have made efforts to obtain the Secretaryship to some of our military men, but find I am too late.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With the hope of hearing from you at your earliest leisure, &amp;amp; with most respectful compliments to your truly estimable lady, 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I subscribe myself,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your Excellency's obedt. Servt.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;N.G.F. Stephens.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;N. G. F. Stephens
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Jacksonville Jany 16
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;u&gt;Attended too!&lt;/u&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Please look up the paper referred to in [illegible] written &amp;amp; write a strong letter &amp;amp; return to Mr S with the papers
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sir,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Being personally acquainted with Capt. E. M. Low, and Lieut. G. G. Low, of the Ninth Illinois regiment (Inft.) I can cheerfully recomend them or either of them to any field office in one of the new regiments, now being raised and organized in the State of Illinois.  To know that they have been connected with the ninth Ill. Inft. is a suficent garentee for strict military discipline drill and proficiency in every thing that makes a good officer. I have no hesitancy in saying that if you should deem proper to apoint one or both of these gentlemen to positions in one of the new regiments That meritt would be rewarded and the service honered
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your Obt. Sevt
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;N. Greusel

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Corinth July 22d 62.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;says
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Capt E. M. Low and Lieut G. G. Low 9th Ills are either of them qualified for appointment to a Field Office in one of the new Regts.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sir,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Being personally acquainted with Capt. E. M. Low, and Lieut. G. G. Low, of the Ninth Illinois regiment (Inft.) I can cheerfully recomend them or either of them to any field office in one of the new regiments, now being raised and organized in the State of Illinois.  To know that they have been connected with the ninth Ill. Inft. is a suficent garentee for strict military discipline drill and proficiency in every thing that makes a good officer. I have no hesitancy in saying that if you should deem proper to apoint one or both of these gentlemen to positions in one of the new regiments That meritt would be rewarded and the service honered
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your Obt. Sevt
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;N. Greusel
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Col 36th Rgt
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ill Vol
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Col N Greusel
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;36th lls
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Corinth July 22d 62.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;says
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Capt E. M. Low and Lieut G. G. Low 9th Ills are either of them qualified for appointment to a Field Office in one of the new Regts.
&lt;/p&gt;
