Galena Ill. August 18th 1862

To His Excellency Wm Yates

Governor of the State of Illinois

Springfield

Your Excellency will please to permit me, to address you once more with a few lines. I have written to you in three intervalls, for the purpose of being informed whether there might be an opportunity or not, to serve as an officer in one of the Illinois regiments, for your humble petitioner.

Having received no reply untill now and feeling thoroughly disposed to fight with all my power against the rebels in this glorious Union, I most respectfully and sincerely implore Your Excellency, to be so kind as to order an answer to me as soon as possible, so that I may be enabled to leave the State in search of an other employment, if there should be no change for me in the same.

I have the honor to remain with the highest respect

Your Excellency

most obedient servant

Ladislaw Br. Zaklika
