Burlington Iowa Oct 14th 1864 Gov.

Foote <hr /> SOUTHERN IOWA SOLDIERS' FAIR at Burlington, September 26th to October 1st, 1864 MILITARY MONUMENT. Burlington, Iowa, June 25th, 1864. To the President of the Ladies' Soldiers Aid Society, City of Burlington, Iowa. RESPECTED MADAM: -- We hand you herewith, a design for a Military Monument, which we propose to present, through your Society, to the Township in Iowa, exclusive of the Township of Burlington, which shall, in proportion to the number of inhabitants, (taking the census of 1860 as the standard,) contribute the most in cash, or in goods, wares, merchandise or produce, at a cash valuation, to the Southern Iowa Soldiers' Fair, to be held in this city, on the last week of next September. The Monument will be twelve feet above the level of the ground, and will be made of the best American Marble, and executed in good style. On the face of the spire, will be carved the shield of the United States, with the motto, "E Pluribus Unum," and resting upon it is a musket and sword, united by the laurel wreath of victory: and floating over its staff, the triumphant guidon, inscribed "Union and Liberty." The Monument will be worth Five Hundred Dollars in cash, and will be to the successful competing Township, a fitting and worthy memorial to their honored dead, who have given their lives a willing sacrifice for the perpetuity of the glorious American Union. Yours Respectfully, DONAHUE & McCOSH, MARBLE DEALERS. It affords the Executive Committee great pleasure to send forth the design of the beautiful Monument to be contested for at the approaching Fair. The monument of itself, will be a magnificent prize. The cause which it seeks to promote, is of the highest importance to every true Patriot. The motives which awaken the Spirit of emulation for such a treasure are of the purest character. To cherish the memory of the departed is ever praiseworthy. But the fallen heroes of our Nation should be enshrined in every loyal heart, and their names written in unperishable letters upon tablets of gold. What County or Township is there in our patriotic State that would not desire to have this silent orator standing in some selected place in their midst, to speak the praise of the honored dead who cannot now speak for themselves. The departed have noble and bravely acted for us, and let us now put forth a be-fitting act for them. They have given their precious lives for the perpetuity of our inheritance, and shall we not of our abundance contribute freely and liberally to the comfort and consolation of their living and dying comrades in arms. Many of the graves of our fallen defenders can never be visited by their friends, but here, the bereaved can look on the names of their loved ones, and feel that they have not been forgotten. Let each County or Township in our State contend for this prize, and thereby evidence their love for their noble dead. Donations received previous to the Fair will be appraised and credited to the Township from which they are received. DELEGATES. -- Each County contributing to the Fair as a County shall be entitled to two delegates; and each Township or Society contributing as such shall be entitled to one delegate ; and said delegates shall be entertained free of charge during the Fair. It is desired that Counties, Townships and Societies intending to send delegates, notify the Secretary of their intention at their earliest convenience. MRS. H. B. RANSOM, Cor.

The departed have noble and bravely acted for us, and let us now put forth a be-fitting act for them. They have given their precious lives for the perpetuity of our inheritance, and shall we not of our abundance contribute freely and liberally to the comfort and consolation of their living and dying comrades in arms. Many of the graves of our fallen defenders can never be visited by their friends, but here, the bereaved can look on the names of their loved ones, and feel that they have not been forgotten. Let each County or Township in our State contend for this prize, and thereby evidence their love for their noble dead. Donations received previous to the Fair will be appraised and credited to the Township from which they are received. DELEGATES. -- Each County contributing to the Fair as a County shall be entitled to two delegates; and each Township or Society contributing as such shall be entitled to one delegate ; and said delegates shall be entertained free of charge during the Fair. It is desired that Counties, Townships and Societies intending to send delegates, notify the Secretary of their intention at their earliest convenience. MRS. H. B. RANSOM, Cor.

Salem Ill, Oct 1st 1864 Governor Yates Dr Sir You will pardon my presumption in writing to you when you hear my grievance You are probably aware of the fact that C. W. Webster of Salem has been made Superintendent of the Sanitary Commission of North West, but you didnt know he is a copperhead, did you! He is, nevertheless, one of the leading copperheads of Southern Illinois, doubtless a K. G. C.(?) a cowardly one too as he is two faced, but no one in Marion County ever doubted his being a traitor or suspected him of being a loyal man. Why he was a candidate for nomination for Sheriff in the Copperhead Convention 3 weeks ago here. His own daughter has been an alien from his house because she is a true loyal woman. <hr /> If a bomb shell had exploded in our midst we could not have been more surprised then when he received his papers on last evening, & every loyal man woman & child was indignant, mortified, disgusted and went from house to house in the dark hours of night telling the humiliating story, but it was done with clenched hands & trembling voices and always wound up with the question "what will we do"? Why have him put out, or we will quit doing anything for the Sanitary Commission. We will close up our Aid Societies For how can we trust our goods in charge of a man whose influence goes to fill our hospitals with our wounded soldiers and have him turn round his dough face and distribute comforts to them sent by loving hands & loyal hearts just because he can fill his purse thereby. You will think, perhaps, I have a personal spite at Mr. Webster. I have nought against him only he is a copperhead. We have lived <hr /> close neighbors for 3 years & have never been acquainted, only for the same reason. Nor have I a friend who is seeking the office. I dont care a fig who has the office so that he is a loyal man. And it is true, too, Mr. Webster has a son in our army, a good brave soldier. So I could name scores of copperheads who have sons in our army. We blame I. T. Reynolds of Springfield, Sec of Agricultural Soc. for getting the position for him. in days gone by, when Copperheads were not bipeds(?), Mr. Webster & Mr. Reynolds were neighbors and close friends, but they have been separated in different parts of the state during the last four years, and he does not realize that Mr. Webster is a traitor, for no doubt he calls himself union when he is with Mr. Reynolds & talks all right, any copperhead can, but surely he must know at least he is a McClellan man, & we know Mr. Reynolds would have a great influence, for he is a worthy, true & good man but mistaken in this. <hr /> Now we all say Webster has to be put out and we want you to help us. You are a friend to the people and to our soldiers and death on copperheads, so are we. Now we want him put out. I was appointed to make the appeal to you. I dont care if Webster, or any one else, reads my letter, and more I can head a paper with the words "This is to certify that C. W. Webster, Supt, San. Com. of Illinois is a copperhead, and I can get five hundred loyal persons of our village to sign it. Yes one thousand names. Then I can head another paper with "This is to certify that, C. W.

Confidential Peoria Sept 30th 1864 My Dear Gov. I desire to call your attention to the fact that Peoria and Stark Cos elect two members to the Legislature, and that the district is very close. At the election in 1862, Stark Co gave about 500 Union maj. and Peoria gave about 750 Cop maj. We expect Stark Co to give about the same maj this fall. We are moving heaven and earth to carry this county, yet it is not best to be too sanguine. We want all the help we can get We must not lose this district! In order to place it beyond all doubt we must have some of our soldiers allowed to come <hr /> home and vote. I name the following, as among those regts containing the greatest number from Peoria and Stark Cos. The 86th has four Cos from Peoria Co. (and one Co from Tazwell) The 112th has two Cos from Stark. The 77th has two Cos from Peoria. By all means see to it that the boys of the 86th come home. They are all right. I know of no one more deeply interested in securing a Union maj in the next Legislature than yourself! Please let me know soon, what we may <hr /> rely upon in this regard. You may set this congressional district down, as certain for 5000 maj for Lincoln and Johnson, and you may bet that the Union candidate for Cong' in this district will score as many. You must not fail to make a speech in this place before the election; I want very much to see you & have a long talk. Write me soon, And believe me I am Your Servant E C.

Confidential Peoria Sept 30th 1864 My Dear Gov. I desire to call your attention to the fact that Peoria and Stark Cos elect two members to the Legislature, and that the district is very close. At the election in 1862, Stark Co gave about 500 Union maj. and Peoria gave about 750 Cop maj. We expect Stark Co to give about the same maj this fall. We are moving heaven and earth to carry this county, yet it is not best to be too sanguine. We want all the help we can get We must not lose this district! In order to place it beyond all doubt we must have some of our soldiers allowed to come <hr /> home and vote. I name the following, as among those regts containing the greatest number from Peoria and Stark Cos. The 86th has four Cos from Peoria Co. (and one Co from Tazwell) The 112th has two Cos from Stark. The 77th has two Cos from Peoria. By all means see to it that the boys of the 86th come home. They are all right. I know of no one more deeply interested in securing a Union maj in the next Legislature than yourself! Please let me know soon, what we may <hr /> rely upon in this regard. You may set this congressional district down, as certain for 5000 maj for Lincoln and Johnson, and you may bet that the Union candidate for Cong' in this district will score as many. You must not fail to make a speech in this place before the election; I want very much to see you & have a long talk. Write me soon, And believe me I am Your Servant E C.
