&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;His Excelly
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gov Yates -
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In one of your
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Chicago speeches last summer you
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;uttered the noble sentiment "that it was
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;the private soldier that commanded
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;your special care and notice and
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;not the officers who are blazoned forth
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;on every page" -
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I write to make a sug
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;gestion if it has not already received
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;your attention - It is that - every private
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;as well as commifsioned officer shall ap
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;pear in the Adj Genls Report and be
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;printed and bound in Book form to
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;go down to posterity - Let Every soldier
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;from Illinois, no matter what his po
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;sition in rank together with the County
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;from which he enlisted - whether he
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;died, was wounded, honorably discharged or
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;deserted. It is due to those who so nobly
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;rallied around the flag - that they have
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;a line in the Adj Genls Report - Let the
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;deserter go on record as such -
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;that he may get his reward from posterity.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Board of Education met in
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bloomington 14th inst - probed things to their
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;bottom - got a clear title to Lands of the
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;University - paid off (by this time) all claims
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;against the Institution Except three. These,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;it is true, are somewhat large, yet the
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;thing is simplified and looks tangible - 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I hope you will give it the influence
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;of your fostering care and recommend
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;the Legislature to pay the remaining claims
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;and thereby serve a noble Institution

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;His Excelly
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gov Yates -
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In one of your
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Chicago speeches last summer you
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;uttered the noble sentiment "that it was
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;the private soldier that commanded
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;your special care and notice and
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;not the officers who are blazoned forth
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;on every page" -
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I write to make a sug
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;gestion if it has not already received
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;your attention - It is that - every private
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;as well as commifsioned officer shall ap
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;pear in the Adj Genls Report and be
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;printed and bound in Book form to
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;go down to posterity - Let Every soldier
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;from Illinois, no matter what his po
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;sition in rank together with the County
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;from which he enlisted - whether he
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;died, was wounded, honorably discharged or
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;deserted. It is due to those who so nobly
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;rallied around the flag - that they have
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;a line in the Adj Genls Report - Let the
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;deserter go on record as such -
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;that he may get his reward from posterity.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Board of Education met in
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bloomington 14th inst - probed things to their
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;bottom - got a clear title to Lands of the
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;University - paid off (by this time) all claims
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;against the Institution Except three. These,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;it is true, are somewhat large, yet the
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;thing is simplified and looks tangible - 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I hope you will give it the influence
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;of your fostering care and recommend
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;the Legislature to pay the remaining claims
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;and thereby serve a noble Institution
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;that is the head and front of our Com
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;mon School system - and accomplish
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;ing so much good - I know you 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;to be personally a warm friend
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;and supporter of it -
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The $65,000 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;appropriation was all substantially paid
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;out for the benefit of the Institution -
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I was on the investigating committee - The
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Debt of the Institution was greater than was
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;supposed at that time - I believe all is
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;now known - and only three claims re
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;main unpaid as above stated -

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My dear sir,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Will it not be possible
to have me chosen as a delegate to the
Baltimore Convention from our District?
I shall not be able to attend in person,
but I wish to have the prestige of being
chosen - The proxy I will place in
your hands to be given to whoever you
may select. If it is practicable to
bring this matter about it will be of
material service to me, and I trust
you will be able to effect it.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I shall be glad to hear from you
at your earliest convenience
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Very Truly,

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;how many companies? - and what would be the

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;of a man by name of
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fonrose Frost

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Please answer in enclosed envelope
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Not knowing what officer to addrefs - I send this to the

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I wish you if you please to write to me
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;and inform me - as to whether you have in any
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;of your offices the Records of the Service of
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your Troops in Black Hawk War - and if so
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;how many companies? - and what would be the
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;cost of a certificate in any named case - 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have a claim for Bounty Land for the Service 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;of a man by name of
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fonrose Frost
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;but his widow can tell no particulars of his services
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;- further than that - as she thinks - he entered
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;into the Service in Illinois
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Please answer in enclosed envelope
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Not knowing what officer to addrefs - I send this to the
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Governor who will please send to proper office
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Respectfully

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Should you not be able to comply with my request could you send me by mail a pass by which I could go down the Mississippi and see the army this winter in such capacity as I might think propper.  
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Any favor which you might bestow on me

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My Dear Sir:
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yours of 28th ultimo is before me.  In reply, I would beg to state that we are constantly selling, to all soldiers, who present furloughs or discharges, [prerring?] their attachment to the Army, a soldiers ticket  @ 2 06/100 cts per mile the regular Government rate.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am now having tickets printed especially for soldiers, to Springfield, Decatur, Quincy &amp;amp; Keokuk. To other points, we use a blank soldiers ticket and fill it for the designated point 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You can depend, Governor, upon our doing all we can, at all times, to assist Our Country's soldiers and our Country's cause, in every way in our power.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yours Respectfully

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Copy
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Endorsement on Proceedings of a G. C. M. convened at Knoxville Town May 10th 1864. In case of Capt. E. C. Henshaw, Henshaw's Indpt Battery of Lt Arty Ill Vols. Ford with endorsement of Brig Genl of J Ammen Sept 3/64.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Judge Advocate's Office D.O. and N.D.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cin. O Sept. 21st 1864
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Respectfully returned to Capt Henry Curtis Jr
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A.A.G. D.O. Knoxville Tenn.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As the case now stands, the sentence passed by the court cannot legally be carried into execution by the Department Commander, for the reason that a portion of the findings of guilty by the Court and which must reasonably be supposed to have had their influence upon the minds of the Court, in making up the sentence passed, have been disapproved by the officer ordering the Court, while the sentence is approved.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is by no means certain that the sentence as passed is, as it would have been, had the accused been found not guilty, of the 3rd Specification of 3rd charge and 6th charge and its specifications. Hence the impropriety of disapproving the findings and at the same time approving of the Sentence passed as the deliberate judgment of the Court upon those findings.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Aside from this, a careful examination of the proceedings seems to one clearly to indicate more of desire on the part of the Lieutenants who appear as prosecuting witnesses to advance their own interests that those of the Government by the removal of the accused, who appears to have managed his Company affairs, with as much or more ability, and as great regard, for the interests of the service, as the vast majority of officers in the army.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;While hardly a specification in all the long list of charges, has, to my mind, been clearly proved, the evidence nevertheless shows the accused to have been guilty of some irregularities that probably deserve censure, but nothing that would warrant the carrying into execution of the sentence passed.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The accumulation of charges is probably one of the worst features in the case. This is, and always has been considered detrimental to the interests of the public service and good of the army.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have therefore to recommend that the proceedings be disapproved and the accused restored to his command, believing as I do the present trial, will be a sufficient warning to the accused to avoid even the appearance of wrong doing, and the disapproval of these proceedings, restore to the Army an Officer who
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;has proved himself a gallant one on many a hard-fought field.

&lt;p&gt;Aside from this, a careful examination of the proceedings seems to one clearly to indicate more of desire on the part of the Lieutenants who appear as prosecuting witnesses to advance their own interests that those of the Government by the removal of the accused, who appears to have managed his Company affairs, with as much or more ability, and as great regard, for the interests of the service, as the vast majority of officers in the army.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;While hardly a specification in all the long list of charges, has, to my mind, been clearly proved, the evidence nevertheless shows the accused to have been guilty of some irregularities that probably deserve censure, but nothing that would warrant the carrying into execution of the sentence passed.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The accumulation of charges is probably one of the worst features in the case. This is, and always has been considered detrimental to the interests of the public service and good of the army.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have therefore to recommend that the proceedings be disapproved and the accused restored to his command, believing as I do the present trial, will be a sufficient warning to the accused to avoid even the appearance of wrong doing, and the disapproval of these proceedings, restore to the Army an Officer who
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;has proved himself a gallant one on many a hard-fought field.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;His Excellency Richard Yates - Gov of the State of Illinois
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Being a descendant of the "Puritan Sires" - my granfather Maj. John Mills being in the battle of Bunker Hill of Revolution memory, I am anxious to do something to perpetuate the Goverment for which they fought and wish to serve in that Capacity - that I can do the most good - viz as Assistant Surgeon - And I would especially wish to be connected with the Reg to rendez vous at Kankakee two companies forming here
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;to go there - I would also say that I gave two weeks of gratuitous service to the 25th Reg Ill vol at St Louis Mo last year -
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You have my certificate from the Medical board. And I would like to be commissioned so that I could say that I was going and have additional influence in urging recruits - I refer to [Lawrence?] Welden - James B. McKinly - Judge David Davis &amp;amp;c
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yours Truly
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;C. H. Mills M.D.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;C.H. Mills M.D.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Champaign Ills July 25.62
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Is a descendent of the "Puritans". His grand father was in battle of Bunker Hill. Is anxious to do something to perpetuate the government and desires appointment of Ass't Surgeon to the Reg't to rendezvous at Kankakee. Thinks if he had the Com's it would greater influence in recruiting.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Permit iss'd Augt 1

                <text>&lt;p&gt;Champaign Ill July 25th 1861
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;His Excellency Richard Yates - Gov of the State of Illinois
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Being a descendant of the "Puritan Sires" - my granfather Maj. John Mills being in the battle of Bunker Hill of Revolution memory, I am anxious to do something to perpetuate the Goverment for which they fought and wish to serve in that Capacity - that I can do the most good - viz as Assistant Surgeon - And I would especially wish to be connected with the Reg to rendez vous at Kankakee two companies forming here
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;to go there - I would also say that I gave two weeks of gratuitous service to the 25th Reg Ill vol at St Louis Mo last year -
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You have my certificate from the Medical board. And I would like to be commissioned so that I could say that I was going and have additional influence in urging recruits - I refer to [Lawrence?] Welden - James B. McKinly - Judge David Davis &amp;amp;c
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yours Truly
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;C. H. Mills M.D.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;C.H. Mills M.D.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Champaign Ills July 25.62
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Is a descendent of the "Puritans". His grand father was in battle of Bunker Hill. Is anxious to do something to perpetuate the government and desires appointment of Ass't Surgeon to the Reg't to rendezvous at Kankakee. Thinks if he had the Com's it would greater influence in recruiting.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Permit iss'd Augt 1
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;M
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gov Yates,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One day last week the 45 "lead mine Reg" went home on the Ill CRR. At Wappella in this co they had to stop for two hours while there about 15 of the men (poss 10 to 20. Ludwick says) entered the shop of Maurice Ludwick an excellent little Irishman (hating his democracy) Literally gutted it taking away about 45 pairs of boots &amp;amp; 185,00 worth of leather.  They had no quarrel with him did not know him nor did he make any resistance  It was in the night they would not permit him to strike a light.  He cannot identify the men only that they belonged to that regiment. He is an industrious young Irishman who has always behaved himself well this act has about ruined him and the citizens here think he deserves protection and that the Reg should be made to repay it ([illegible])  Stop it out of their next pay.  This will satisfy every one, the cash value of the property taken L says is $500,  Please use your influence to have this done (the Reg is in Gen Leggitts division) &amp;amp; to Stop future agressions of this Kind.  A repetition of this will ruin our cause here &amp;amp; must be stopped or no man can be safe.  Hoping that you will see this in the same light  I remain yours &amp;amp;c
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;C H Moore
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Moore C H
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Clinton Ills
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mar 31, 1864
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The 45th Reg on their way home Stopped at Wapella entered the Store of Irish Ludwick, and carried off all the property about $500 worth, which he thinks Should be Compensated for in Some way.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Refer this letter to Gen. Leggett &amp;amp; write Moore have so referred it - that I will try &amp;amp; have it arranged agst Regt.
