&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Gov:
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;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.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;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.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;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.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He is a gallant young man, and 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;does not wish longer to remain connected with that Regiment.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;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.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Is it too much to ask for him a Lieutenancy?
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;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.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Truly your friend
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;O. H. Browning
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;P H Browning
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Quincy March 20 1863
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Encloses a letter from Mrs Anne J Cox who has a son in Andersons Cavalry, is a young man of more than ordinary ability and of devoted loyalty and patriotism.  Wishes the Governor to promote him to some position
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Received Ex O March 24 63.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Is it too much to ask for him a Lieutenancy?
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;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.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Truly your friend
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;O. H. Browning

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Philadelphia, March 20, 1863.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Major Genl John A Logan,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Army of the Mississippi &amp;amp;c.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear General:  
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;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.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;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
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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?].
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;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.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have also written a letter to the President, of which I enclose a copy.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;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.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With best regards to self and mutual friends in the army.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am, my dear General,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your friend and obt. Servnt, 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Richd. Yates,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Governor.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Philadelphia, March 20, 1863.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Major Genl John A Logan,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Army of the Mississippi &amp;amp;c.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear General:  
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;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.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;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
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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?].
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;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.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have also written a letter to the President, of which I enclose a copy.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;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.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With best regards to self and mutual friends in the army.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am, my dear General,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your friend and obt. Servnt, 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Richd. Yates,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Governor.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have been requested by some of my friends in Cairo &amp;amp; vicinity to apply to your excellency for the appointment of Provost Marshall for this District under the last conscription Act of Congress.  If your Honor thinks me worthy of the position &amp;amp; will give me the appointment I pledge myself to discharge the duties of the office to the best of my ability &amp;amp; I think that my experience in the army will give me a decided advantage over some other persons who have made application for the appointment.  &amp;amp; as it is reported the appointments are to be made of persons who have been disabled 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;in the service.  If this be true surely I will stand a pretty good chance for being appointed.  I send no recommendations though I could get them but I presume it unnecessary as there is a number of recommendations filed in your office from various persons recommending me for different positions in the army.  I hope that the loss of my right arm will not prevent me from being appointed.  
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hoping to know the result of this application soon.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I remain very respectfully 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your Obt Servt

I feel it to be my duty to inform you of certain matters that are taking place here --- today (Sat Mch 21st) there is a Boddy of men drilling for the purpose of being better able to resist the Laws of our Nation-- They hold their musters, South of here some eight or ten miles-- this morning Nine Horsemen passed through here in a body – to all appearances going to join their Friends at the place of mustering.  They come from the North of us, from a neighborhood that is much disaffected – You may have been apprised of these doings from other sources, but not knowing whether you were or not, have taken the Liberty of addressing you.  We should be pleased to hear from you and to learn if any steps are being taken to counteract their Devlish designs
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Nokomis  Mont Co Ills

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Prompted by my own feelings and by request of citizens resident at this place.  I feel it to be my duty to inform you of certain matters that are taking place here --- today (Sat Mch 21st) there is a Boddy of men drilling for the purpose of being better able to resist the Laws of our Nation-- They hold their musters, South of here some eight or ten miles-- this morning Nine Horsemen passed through here in a body – to all appearances going to join their Friends at the place of mustering.  They come from the North of us, from a neighborhood that is much disaffected – You may have been apprised of these doings from other sources, but not knowing whether you were or not, have taken the Liberty of addressing you.  We should be pleased to hear from you and to learn if any steps are being taken to counteract their Devlish designs
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Nokomis  Mont Co Ills
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mch 21st 1863
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your respectfully   H.F. Rood  PM
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;H. F. Rood  PM
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Nokomis Ill  Mar 21 1863
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Says there are now a body of men drilling for the purpose of resisting the laws of our Government.  Wishes to know if any steps are to be taken to counteract their hellish designs.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;March 22, 1863.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Governor Richard Yates
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Respected Sir,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I this morning received the following official letter, dated March 6, 1863.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Sir I am reliably informed that Mr Kinniment Sergt Major of your regiment , is not fit for military duty, and the chances for his recovery are doubtful.  If consistant with the interests of the service, I would request you assist him in getting a discharge"
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have shown the letter to Serg't Major Kinniment, who is in perfect health, and faithfully performing the duties of his office.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He was sick last fall, and I had him sent north.  He returned in a few weeks restored to health, and resumed the duties of his office.  Four or five weeks since he was taken with diarrhea , similar to the attack of last fall, and at the time I was fearful that he would run down and have to leave the service, He, however 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;soon recovered from it
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Serg't Major Kinniment is a gentleman of fine attainments, capable of filling a higher position than the one he occupies.  He is a good soldier, faithfully performing  every duty, and now that he is restored to health informs me, he has no desire to quit the service.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am Governor with much respect 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yours &amp;amp;c
