Central Illinois office Beardstown Ill. Feb 29. 63 Gov. Yates Dear Sir - I think if you could give J Henry Shaw a place in the army the effect would be beneficial - you are aware that in these trying times it is best to do everything possible to bind and unite men in favor of the government- Shaw has been entirely sober and has conducted himself well for sometime, he is a man of the best talent in Cass County - and is loyal - but so identified with the democracy here that he don't do any good for the County - now if you could assist him to a place I think his services at home <hr /> and abroad would be of great benefit - He would make a for better Colonel than Charles Fox - in fact he is that style of man of John A. Logan whatever way he goes - he does his best - I wish you could give him a place for I am sure he would do well- Cant you write him a letter that would encourage him even a good letter from you would help him and prepare him to defend the conscription act which if necessary to put in force will need all the defence it can get.

Head Quarter 81st R.I.V. Camp Lake Providence La Feb 27th 1863 Hon Richard Yates Governor State Ills Dr Sir In consequence of having become badly ruptured, I fear that I shall not be able much longer to endure active service in the field. I still fele desirous of remaining in the service if there is any place I can fill, doing justice to my country, and myself credit. Among the recent Acts of Congress I notice the Conscript Law makes provisions for one Officer in each Congressional District with the rank of Capt. If your Honor will confer upon me that appointment in the 9th District you will place me under lasting obligation. My inclination would be to hold the Honorable position I now fill and look forward promotion but duty teaches me that it would be better to file a subordinate officer with credit, than a higher one to the detriment of the service Respectfully H Campbell Lt Col 81st Ills Infty Vol <hr /> F Campbell Lt Col 81st Regt.
