With Owen Lovejoy letter 8/19/62 To his Excellency Richard Yates Governor of the State of Illinois; -- The undersigned citizens of Bureau County in view of the fact that large bodies of new Illinois troops are now about to be mustered into service and under new and in many instances untried officers, have sought this method of recommending to your Excellency for promotion in some of the new Regiments now being formed our townsman Capt. Isaac H. Elliott of Company E. 33rd Illinois Vols now on service in Arkansas, believing as we do that his talents, energy, courage and ability fit him for a wider sphere of usefulness than that which he now occupies. Capt. Elliot volunteered in the service about a year since, recruited a company of young men from this County of which he was unanimously chosen Captain, was taken prisoner with one half of his Command after a gallant resistance at Big River Bridge, Mo., only yielding when compelled by overwhelming numbers and himself being severely wounded; and being released on giving his Parole, after recovering from his wound, he by personal application with the Confederate authorities at Columbus <hr />affected the exchange of himself and his Command and immediately gathering together his men rejoined his regiment, and we learn has again distinguished himself at the battle of Cache River in Arkansas. We are also advised that a vacancy having occurred in the office of Lieut. col. of his Regiment, Capt. Elliot received almost the unanimous voice of the Regiment to fill that officer but by some misapprehension the vacancy was filled without the expression of such choice of the Regiment being made known. We therefore desire that you will consider this application and comply with its request, if in your opinion it will promote the good of the Service. Princeton Ills, Augt 15. 1862 Geo. W. Stipp R T Templeton John H. Bryant Geo. M Radcliffe Stephen G Paddock Owen Lovejoy <hr />Petition Princeton Augt 15/62 Recommending for promotion Captain Isaac H Elliot. of "Co E:" 33d Regt as a suitable man to command a New Regt.
