with Id. D. Bacon letter 8/20/61
Aurora Aug 14th 1861
Gov. Yates
Dr. D. W. Young of our place says he has been before the Medical Board and got his Certificate from them. He asks me to write you a line in relation to his appointment saying he has heard that there is an effort made by some who have a personal feeling against him to defeat his appointment. From my knowledge of the feeling of the Companies composing the Regiment I firmly believe he is the choice of a large majority of them. He has been my family Physician for years and stands as a source for moral character and temperate habits are exceptional. I do not desire to in the least influence your action againts real worth in the position but I do have the fullest confidence in the ability and worth of Dr Young for the position he asks for.
Respectfully yours
