(copy.) Philadelphia, March 20, 1863. Major Genl John A Logan, Army of the Mississippi &c. Dear General: Just before leaving Washington I was very much surprised and mortified to learn that the Senate had no confirmed your nomination as Major General. I immediately called upon Mr. Lincoln, who also expressed his great regret. He agreed with me that the rejection was most uncalled for and unfortunate. Having important business here, I was called away before I could obtain a definite promise from Mr. Lincoln for your reappointment. I, however, directed my aid and friend, Col. Forrest, of Chicago, to remain in Washington and, in my behalf, earnestly press the subject of your renomination upon the President. Mr. Forrest did so, and the President expressed to him his deep mortification at your rejection, and agreed with me fully in the opinion that it was not only unjust and ungenerous to you, but a serious blow at the large interest and wide <hr /> spread public sentiment in the State so ably represented by yourself. Col. Forrest earnestly requested in my behalf, your renomination, as due to you and to the [war?] democracy, and used every argument in his power in doing so. The President responded that he would do what he could in the matter—in fact any thing short of forcing the renomination against the advise and consent of his [advisers?]. I have also spoken to Mr. Swett and others upon the subject; and Mr S. promised to call on the President with Col. Forrest, but did not do so. Mr. Swett voluntarily called upon me in regard to the matter. I have also written a letter to the President, of which I enclose a copy. Believe me, my dear General, that I will do all in my power to see you righted in this matter. It has deeply [illegible] and offended me, as no doubt it will thousands of other loyal men in the State. With best regards to self and mutual friends in the army. I am, my dear General, Your friend and obt. Servnt, Richd. Yates, Governor. Status The current transcription status of a document or a page.

Quincy, March 20, 1863 Dear Gov: I enclose, herewith, a letter from Mrs. Cox, one of our most intelligent, influential and patriotic ladies. Her husband, Col John C Cox, of this city, has been in the service since early in the war, and is now on the staff of Genl McPherson. Her son Rowland is a youth of much more than ordinary ability, and of devoted loyalty and patriotism. He was at College at Princeton N.J. and quit his studies to give his services to his country in the “Anderson Cavalry” of Penna: which he joined as a private. For five days he shared the fortunes of the fight, and took his chances for wounds, and death, at Murfreesboro, where a majority of his companions dishonored their Regiment, by stacking their arms, and refusing to appear upon the field. He is a gallant young man, and <hr /> does not wish longer to remain connected with that Regiment. He deserves something at the hands of his state, and will do it honor if the opportunity be afforded. He wishes to serve with Illinois troops. Is it too much to ask for him a Lieutenancy? He certainly deserves it, and if you can bestow it I will acknowledge it as a great personal favor to myself, as well as an act of honorable justice to him. Truly your friend O. H.
