Carlinville Feb 9 1863
His Excellency Governor Yates
Dear Sir
I am quite unwell today and will not therefore come to Springfield
I would be glad to hear this evening by mail the final result of your deliberations upon the state of the country
The union men here are much alarmed and I am ashamed to say so much depressed that they cannot be relied on for any bold movement
These facts are so discolored by their fears that there is no reliance upon them
I am still of opinion that the only mode of reassuring our People is a military force to be placed in Springfield
Verry respectfully
John M. Palmer
John M. Palmer
