Springfield Sept, 1st 1861.

Hon, Richard Yates,

Governor.

Dear Sir, Before leaving Cairo I had received no reply to my application for the acceptance of a new Regiment. Should I succeed in raising a Regiment will it be accepted, and if the choice of the Regiment will I be appointed Colonel.

I am satisfied that some assurance of this kind will greatly facilitate enlistments. Please address me to day at Chenery House, or after to day at Mound City

Very Respectfully

Your Obt. Servt

Wm Hunter
