I avail myself of the right, conferred by Act of Congress upon each State, to furnish such supplies, because I think this State can better provide for her troops. That you would do your duty in such a service I have no dout, yet our State Qarter Master (General John Wood) has become so thoroughly acquainted with the condition and wants of our scattered regiments, takes so deep an intrest in them, and has so far given such abundant satisfaction to the authorities at Washington and of this State, in the clothing heretofore furnished both as to quality and price, as to satisfy me that he ought to be continued in the performance of this duty.

Eddy U.S. Q Master, Springfield Ill Dear Sir; Your favor of Nov 9th, (received during the early stage of protracted indisposition, from which I am but just now recovering,) has been fully considered. I informed you verbally, shortly after the receipt of your letter, that I was awaiting certain information upon the subject of clothing our troops. That information I have received, and now notify you, that the state will continue to supply her troops with clothing, and horse equipments. The state Quarter-master General has been instructed to purchase such supplies, and has already made purchases upon terms most <hr /> advantageous to the troops; and favorable to the United States. I avail myself of the right conferred by Act of Congress upon each state, to furnish such supplies, because I think this state can better provide for her troops. That you would do your duty in such service I have no doubt, yet our state Quarter-master (Genl. John Wood) has become so thoroughly acquainted with the conditions and wants of our scattered regiments; takes so deep an interest in them, and, has so far given such abundant satisfaction to the authorities at Washington, and of this state, in the clothing heretofore furnished, both as to quality and price, as to satisfy me that he ought to be continued in the performance of this duty.

I wish you could use it & judge whether it has not been executed with dispatch & with neatness. My heart is too overburdened with sorrow, with dread of returning to my poor expectant family, with our recently cherished hopes blasted. I wish to see my family tomorrow. Kind Sir, shall that visit be one of joy or of sorrow? Believe me Sir, rather than see my family & announce to them that I have been dismissed from your employ, I <hr /> would rather, so help me God, encounter the assassin's dagger. With fear and trembling I await your Excellency's pleasure. Yours most respectfully & sincerely, W. J. F. Stephens. W. J. F. Stephens. Dec 10th In sorrow & trouble.
