Quincy, March 20, 1863 Dear Gov: I enclose, herewith, a letter from Mrs. Cox, one of our most intelligent, influential and patriotic ladies. Her husband, Col John C Cox, of this city, has been in the service since early in the war, and is now on the staff of Genl McPherson. Her son Rowland is a youth of much more than ordinary ability, and of devoted loyalty and patriotism. He was at College at Princeton N.J. and quit his studies to give his services to his country in the “Anderson Cavalry” of Penna: which he joined as a private. For five days he shared the fortunes of the fight, and took his chances for wounds, and death, at Murfreesboro, where a majority of his companions dishonored their Regiment, by stacking their arms, and refusing to appear upon the field. He is a gallant young man, and <hr /> does not wish longer to remain connected with that Regiment. He deserves something at the hands of his state, and will do it honor if the opportunity be afforded. He wishes to serve with Illinois troops. Is it too much to ask for him a Lieutenancy? He certainly deserves it, and if you can bestow it I will acknowledge it as a great personal favor to myself, as well as an act of honorable justice to him. Truly your friend O. H. Browning <hr /> P H Browning Quincy March 20 1863 Encloses a letter from Mrs Anne J Cox who has a son in Andersons Cavalry, is a young man of more than ordinary ability and of devoted loyalty and patriotism.

Quincy, March 20, 1863 Dear Gov: I enclose, herewith, a letter from Mrs. Cox, one of our most intelligent, influential and patriotic ladies. Her husband, Col John C Cox, of this city, has been in the service since early in the war, and is now on the staff of Genl McPherson. Her son Rowland is a youth of much more than ordinary ability, and of devoted loyalty and patriotism. He was at College at Princeton N.J. and quit his studies to give his services to his country in the “Anderson Cavalry” of Penna: which he joined as a private. For five days he shared the fortunes of the fight, and took his chances for wounds, and death, at Murfreesboro, where a majority of his companions dishonored their Regiment, by stacking their arms, and refusing to appear upon the field. He is a gallant young man, and <hr /> does not wish longer to remain connected with that Regiment. He deserves something at the hands of his state, and will do it honor if the opportunity be afforded. He wishes to serve with Illinois troops. Is it too much to ask for him a Lieutenancy? He certainly deserves it, and if you can bestow it I will acknowledge it as a great personal favor to myself, as well as an act of honorable justice to him. Truly your friend O. H. Browning <hr /> P H Browning Quincy March 20 1863 Encloses a letter from Mrs Anne J Cox who has a son in Andersons Cavalry, is a young man of more than ordinary ability and of devoted loyalty and patriotism. Wishes the Governor to promote him to some position Received Ex O March 24 63. Status The current transcription status of a document or a page.

House of Representatives Photographers Description An account of the resource Samuel Alschuler, judge of the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit (1915-1936), was born in Chicago, Illinois, on November 20, 1959 to Bavarian-born Jacob and Caroline Stiefel Alschuler. After growing up and attending school in Aurora, Alschuler began practicing law at the age of twenty-two in 1881 and starting in the 1890s, served as a public servant for the rest of his life. As a Democrat, Alschuler won a seat in the Illinois House of Representatives in 1896. He became the House Minority leader in 1898, a position he held until leaving the House of Representatives in 1900. Alschuler unsuccessfully ran for Illinois State Governor in both 1900 and 1912. In 1915, President Woodrow Wilson recognized Alschuler’s potential and appointed him to the U.S. Court of Appeals 7th Circuit. Alschuler served as arbitrator during the meat packing labor dispute of 1918. During the coal labor problems of 1922, President Warren Harding also asked him to serve on a coal fact-find commission. Alschuler, uncertain if he could properly be a member of the commission while serving on the federal bench, chose to serve unofficially as a legal advisor to the commission. In 1925, he became the presiding judge of the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, a position he held for nine years, and retired in May 1936. Alschuler was a bachelor until 1923, when he married the daughter of the Chicago clothing manufacturer Ella Kahn. On November 10, 1939, Samuel Alschuler died, having no children.
