&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Albion Edwards Co Illinois
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;u&gt;July 8th 1861.&lt;/u&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;His Excellency
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Richard Yates
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Governor of Illinois,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I Received your excellent Letter on the Subject of your appointment of Mr Browning to be our U. S. Senator from Illinois, And I heartily agree with &lt;u&gt;every word you say,&lt;/u&gt; and &lt;u&gt;every view you take&lt;/u&gt; respecting your performance of that important Executive Duty.  &lt;u&gt;You have done just right&lt;/u&gt;. and every intelligent man in the State, both Republicans &amp;amp; Democrats, must in their hearts &amp;amp; consciences (if they have any) feel &amp;amp; think as I do. Your views on that appt, are &lt;u&gt;undeniably true.&lt;/u&gt; And I cheerfully congratulate yourself, and the whole State of Illinois. yes, and Our Lincoln Administration also, on your happy appointment of Mr. Browning, for he is in all respects the most fitting, and most reliable man you could have Selected at this time.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have shown your Letter on that subject to several leading &amp;amp; trusty Republicans in this part of the State, and they all concur with one in the correctness of all you have therein stated.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have also to acknowledge the receipt of your very kind and friendly Letter, respecting my Sons appointment to the Office of U. S. Consul to Queensland, a newly created District in the English Colony of Australia And I thank you heartily for your kindness &amp;amp; goodwill in having forwarded my Letter to you, containing a copy of my Letter to the President, with the certificates &amp;amp; recommendations in my Sons behalf, to the care of Mr Browning.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And If this reaches you while in Washington, allow me to ask the 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;further personal favour of your accompanying Senator Browning to present the said Petition of my Son to the President, requesting the favour of that appointment, together with the accompanying certificates and recommendations signed by all the leading Citizens of the United States now residing at Kiandra, in New South Wales, Australia.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And surely I think I am not presuming too much, when I entertain &amp;amp; indulge the hope that you four prominent Republican Citizens of Illinois, The President, yourself, &amp;amp; Senators Trumbull, &amp;amp; Browning, unitedly possess and enjoy sufficient power, and plenty of goodwill towards myself, to fix up, and agree to give that appointment to my Son, now 39 years old, who was born &amp;amp; raised in Edwards County, Illinois. As the Yankee said " I know you four &lt;u&gt;can do it&lt;/u&gt;, if you are all willing."
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I thought the President &amp;amp; Senator Trumbull were amply powerful, and both of them sufficiently filled with plenty of Goodwill towards myself to have given my Son that small appointment &lt;u&gt;at once,&lt;/u&gt; and from these feelings and expectations, on my part, I forwarded the Original Papers belonging to that case, to the Care and guardianship of Senator Trumbull, but it would seem I have been slightly mistaken, for I have not yet heard that either of them have done anything of the kind as to secure that Office for my Son, in that farthest off, &amp;amp; most distant Land, And as I well know that One of those two Gentlemen had full power to make that appointment, &amp;amp; its not being done, makes me feel apprehensive that either the President or Mr Trumbull, or both feel slightly lacking in their goodwill towards myself, and my anxious requests in behalf of my Son.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your friendly assistance in support of my Sons appointment will be duly appreciated by your Sincere friend
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;u&gt;William Pickering.&lt;/u&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;u&gt;July 8th 1861.&lt;/u&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;His Excellency
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Richard Yates
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Governor of Illinois,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I Received your excellent Letter on the Subject of your appointment of Mr Browning to be our U. S. Senator from Illinois, And I heartily agree with &lt;u&gt;every word you say,&lt;/u&gt; and &lt;u&gt;every view you take&lt;/u&gt; respecting your performance of that important Executive Duty.  &lt;u&gt;You have done just right&lt;/u&gt;. and every intelligent man in the State, both Republicans &amp;amp; Democrats, must in their hearts &amp;amp; consciences (if they have any) feel &amp;amp; think as I do. Your views on that appt, are &lt;u&gt;undeniably true.&lt;/u&gt; And I cheerfully congratulate yourself, and the whole State of Illinois. yes, and Our Lincoln Administration also, on your happy appointment of Mr. Browning, for he is in all respects the most fitting, and most reliable man you could have Selected at this time.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have shown your Letter on that subject to several leading &amp;amp; trusty Republicans in this part of the State, and they all concur with one in the correctness of all you have therein stated.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have also to acknowledge the receipt of your very kind and friendly Letter, respecting my Sons appointment to the Office of U. S. Consul to Queensland, a newly created District in the English Colony of Australia And I thank you heartily for your kindness &amp;amp; goodwill in having forwarded my Letter to you, containing a copy of my Letter to the President, with the certificates &amp;amp; recommendations in my Sons behalf, to the care of Mr Browning.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And If this reaches you while in Washington, allow me to ask the 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;further personal favour of your accompanying Senator Browning to present the said Petition of my Son to the President, requesting the favour of that appointment, together with the accompanying certificates and recommendations signed by all the leading Citizens of the United States now residing at Kiandra, in New South Wales, Australia.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And surely I think I am not presuming too much, when I entertain &amp;amp; indulge the hope that you four prominent Republican Citizens of Illinois, The President, yourself, &amp;amp; Senators Trumbull, &amp;amp; Browning, unitedly possess and enjoy sufficient power, and plenty of goodwill towards myself, to fix up, and agree to give that appointment to my Son, now 39 years old, who was born &amp;amp; raised in Edwards County, Illinois. As the Yankee said " I know you four &lt;u&gt;can do it&lt;/u&gt;, if you are all willing."
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I thought the President &amp;amp; Senator Trumbull were amply powerful, and both of them sufficiently filled with plenty of Goodwill towards myself to have given my Son that small appointment &lt;u&gt;at once,&lt;/u&gt; and from these feelings and expectations, on my part, I forwarded the Original Papers belonging to that case, to the Care and guardianship of Senator Trumbull, but it would seem I have been slightly mistaken, for I have not yet heard that either of them have done anything of the kind as to secure that Office for my Son, in that farthest off, &amp;amp; most distant Land, And as I well know that One of those two Gentlemen had full power to make that appointment, &amp;amp; its not being done, makes me feel apprehensive that either the President or Mr Trumbull, or both feel slightly lacking in their goodwill towards myself, and my anxious requests in behalf of my Son.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your friendly assistance in support of my Sons appointment will be duly appreciated by your Sincere friend
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;u&gt;William Pickering.&lt;/u&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Albion Edwards Co. Ills.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;June 6th 1861.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;His Excellency 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Richard Yates
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Governor of Illinois,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I feel deeply grieved, surprised, &amp;amp; &lt;u&gt;insulted&lt;/u&gt;, with an Article in the Chicago Daily Tribune of the 4th inst. impudently recommending the appointment of some Douglass Democrat, to fill the present vacancy in the U. S. Senate from Ills.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I promptly take this earliest moment to exhibit to your Excellency my disinterested &amp;amp; honest convictions of my present Duty to you, as one of your earliest &amp;amp; oldest personal &amp;amp; political friends, admirers, &amp;amp; supporters. And I assure you that I feel my first duty to you as my friend &amp;amp; as my Governor, is to beg you to Say to &lt;u&gt;that man&lt;/u&gt; who has given and to all men who may ever give you such an unworthy &amp;amp; unholy recommendation. "I Richard Yates, Gov" of Illinois say to thee, &lt;u&gt;"Get thee behind me Satan"&lt;/u&gt;, and &lt;u&gt;carry all thy mistaken&lt;/u&gt; &amp;amp; &lt;u&gt;wicked advice with thee"&lt;/u&gt;, all &lt;u&gt;dost thou impudently think me such a Dog&lt;/u&gt;, as to &lt;u&gt;place all my confidence of trust in&lt;/u&gt;, and &lt;u&gt;give the highest rewards to, my most bitter, unscrupulous&lt;/u&gt;, &amp;amp; &lt;u&gt;unrelenting Enemies&lt;/u&gt; who are now in a minority??? And dost thou think me such a &lt;u&gt;base &amp;amp; detestable ingrate&lt;/u&gt;, as to &lt;u&gt;withold all my confidence, faith, &amp;amp; firm trust from,&lt;/u&gt; and &lt;u&gt;degrade, disgrace, and drive from me, and from all honorable Office, &amp;amp; reward all my standfast &amp;amp; faithful friends &amp;amp; Supporters both personal &amp;amp; political?&lt;/u&gt; who now are in a handsome majority (thank God for it,) in Illinois?? and I hope are in a majority in all the states now loyal to our Govt.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Governor Yates, I feel in all honour, &amp;amp; in all duty, bound to recommend Mr Browning of Quincy, as &lt;u&gt;the most suitable, &amp;amp; the man in the State of Illinois,&lt;/u&gt; in &lt;u&gt;every Sense of the word&lt;/u&gt;, and &lt;u&gt;in every view of the whole case&lt;/u&gt;, for &lt;u&gt;your appointment&lt;/u&gt;, as the United States Senator from Illinois, to fill the present vacancy in that Office.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And I beg leave to say, that &lt;u&gt;I am very confident, all Illinois will approve more heartily of that appointment than of any other Selection that can be made, Common honesty, common Justice, common Gratitude&lt;/u&gt;, for a &lt;u&gt;life time of faithful services rendered &amp;amp; performed by Mr Browning, whose experience &amp;amp; qualifications, stand preeminently superior.&lt;/u&gt; And common &amp;amp; &lt;u&gt;universal approbation will applaud your sending Mr Browning as our U. S. Senator at this time&lt;/u&gt;, to support &amp;amp; defend &lt;u&gt;our Illinois President&lt;/u&gt; &amp;amp; his administration, in &lt;u&gt;all their plans to uphold our blessed Government&lt;/u&gt; against &lt;u&gt;All its opponents and against all Enemies&lt;/u&gt; both &lt;u&gt;open&lt;/u&gt;, &amp;amp; &lt;u&gt;covert&lt;/u&gt;. &amp;amp; &lt;u&gt;both Douglass &amp;amp; all his supporters ever have been,&lt;/u&gt; &amp;amp; &lt;u&gt;ever will remain&lt;/u&gt; the &lt;u&gt;secret&lt;/u&gt; &amp;amp; the &lt;u&gt;open Enemies&lt;/u&gt; of &lt;u&gt;yourself &amp;amp; Lincoln&lt;/u&gt;, and &lt;u&gt;all of them ever will remain opposed to all our Republican doctrines principles, &amp;amp; actions. And they all would be at this moment if they durst.&lt;/u&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You will always have my most cordial &amp;amp; hearty support, praise, &amp;amp; recommendations for your appointing Mr Browning,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But candour compels me to say, that if you become seduced from a just &amp;amp; honest performance of you Duty, &lt;u&gt;to your friends&lt;/u&gt; by appointing any Douglass Democrat, Bah! I never can forgive you! and the masses of the twenty thousand majority of Illinois &lt;u&gt;never will forgive you&lt;/u&gt; and &lt;u&gt;all the Douglass Men will never Stop laughing at you.&lt;/u&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And now Sir, this is the honest advice of your faithful old friend 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Wm Pickering.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Gen. Pickering
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On Senatorship

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I feel deeply grieved, surprised, &amp;amp; &lt;u&gt;insulted&lt;/u&gt;, with an Article in the Chicago Daily Tribune of the 4th inst. impudently recommending the appointment of some Douglass Democrat, to fill the present vacancy in the U. S. Senate from Ills.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I promptly take this earliest moment to exhibit to your Excellency my disinterested &amp;amp; honest convictions of my present Duty to you, as one of your earliest &amp;amp; oldest personal &amp;amp; political friends, admirers, &amp;amp; supporters. And I assure you that I feel my first duty to you as my friend &amp;amp; as my Governor, is to beg you to Say to &lt;u&gt;that man&lt;/u&gt; who has given and to all men who may ever give you such an unworthy &amp;amp; unholy recommendation. "I Richard Yates, Gov" of Illinois say to thee, &lt;u&gt;"Get thee behind me Satan"&lt;/u&gt;, and &lt;u&gt;carry all thy mistaken&lt;/u&gt; &amp;amp; &lt;u&gt;wicked advice with thee"&lt;/u&gt;, all &lt;u&gt;dost thou impudently think me such a Dog&lt;/u&gt;, as to &lt;u&gt;place all my confidence of trust in&lt;/u&gt;, and &lt;u&gt;give the highest rewards to, my most bitter, unscrupulous&lt;/u&gt;, &amp;amp; &lt;u&gt;unrelenting Enemies&lt;/u&gt; who are now in a minority??? And dost thou think me such a &lt;u&gt;base &amp;amp; detestable ingrate&lt;/u&gt;, as to &lt;u&gt;withold all my confidence, faith, &amp;amp; firm trust from,&lt;/u&gt; and &lt;u&gt;degrade, disgrace, and drive from me, and from all honorable Office, &amp;amp; reward all my standfast &amp;amp; faithful friends &amp;amp; Supporters both personal &amp;amp; political?&lt;/u&gt; who now are in a handsome majority (thank God for it,) in Illinois?? and I hope are in a majority in all the states now loyal to our Govt.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Governor Yates, I feel in all honour, &amp;amp; in all duty, bound to recommend Mr Browning of Quincy, as &lt;u&gt;the most suitable, &amp;amp; the man in the State of Illinois,&lt;/u&gt; in &lt;u&gt;every Sense of the word&lt;/u&gt;, and &lt;u&gt;in every view of the whole case&lt;/u&gt;, for &lt;u&gt;your appointment&lt;/u&gt;, as the United States Senator from Illinois, to fill the present vacancy in that Office.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And I beg leave to say, that &lt;u&gt;I am very confident, all Illinois will approve more heartily of that appointment than of any other Selection that can be made, Common honesty, common Justice, common Gratitude&lt;/u&gt;, for a &lt;u&gt;life time of faithful services rendered &amp;amp; performed by Mr Browning, whose experience &amp;amp; qualifications, stand preeminently superior.&lt;/u&gt; And common &amp;amp; &lt;u&gt;universal approbation will applaud your sending Mr Browning as our U. S. Senator at this time&lt;/u&gt;, to support &amp;amp; defend &lt;u&gt;our Illinois President&lt;/u&gt; &amp;amp; his administration, in &lt;u&gt;all their plans to uphold our blessed Government&lt;/u&gt; against &lt;u&gt;All its opponents and against all Enemies&lt;/u&gt; both &lt;u&gt;open&lt;/u&gt;, &amp;amp; &lt;u&gt;covert&lt;/u&gt;. &amp;amp; &lt;u&gt;both Douglass &amp;amp; all his supporters ever have been,&lt;/u&gt; &amp;amp; &lt;u&gt;ever will remain&lt;/u&gt; the &lt;u&gt;secret&lt;/u&gt; &amp;amp; the &lt;u&gt;open Enemies&lt;/u&gt; of &lt;u&gt;yourself &amp;amp; Lincoln&lt;/u&gt;, and &lt;u&gt;all of them ever will remain opposed to all our Republican doctrines principles, &amp;amp; actions. And they all would be at this moment if they durst.&lt;/u&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You will always have my most cordial &amp;amp; hearty support, praise, &amp;amp; recommendations for your appointing Mr Browning,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But candour compels me to say, that if you become seduced from a just &amp;amp; honest performance of you Duty, &lt;u&gt;to your friends&lt;/u&gt; by appointing any Douglass Democrat, Bah! I never can forgive you! and the masses of the twenty thousand majority of Illinois &lt;u&gt;never will forgive you&lt;/u&gt; and &lt;u&gt;all the Douglass Men will never Stop laughing at you.&lt;/u&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And now Sir, this is the honest advice of your faithful old friend 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Wm Pickering.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Gen. Pickering
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On Senatorship

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Why can you not order the two companies that were accepted &amp;amp; not mustered from this county (Capts Barry &amp;amp; Page) to the ninth District?  I wish you could.  If you cannot take but one take Capt. Barry's.
