Camp 10th U.S. Colored Troops near Point of Rocks Va July 21st 1864 Hon Richard Yates Gov. of Ills. My Dear Sir, I was examined before one of the boards appointed by the War Department for examination of officers to Command Colored Troops, and was examineded by the board to fill my present position, I do not feel satisfied as at present situated and would like to get into an Ills Regt again, as I understand that there will be some new Regts raised under the recent Proclamation of the President If i could be promoted into one of the Ills Regts there would be no trouble about it as with your good offices and influence I could be readily transfered, and you would confer a great favor upon me by permoting my wishes in this respect. I only want the oportunity to test my competency to [illegible] and manage a Regt. to demonstrate it. and with my experience of now nearly three years in the military service during this war, I think I could make myself much more useful to the cause, than here where all of the officers are <hr /> well drilled and experienced and at the same time aid in promoting the efficiency and usefulness of the troops of my adopted state. We have performed some very hard service during the present Campaign, have traveled considerably in this "Eastern Country and" have met with many rough customers & obstructions in the way and I shall hope to return to you in the West soon to assist our Ills brethren in raising our Country from its present terrible condition to one of peace & happiness I would refer to Col [Van Vlick?] Col.
