Ill. Infantry Vol. <hr /> Co. "F." was formerly commanded by Capt. M. S. Littlefield, of Jerseyville, Ill. and the 14th Reg. Ill. Inf. by Maj. Gen J. M. Palmer, of Carlinville, Ill.

Elliott is very strong anti-slavery, and is also an unconditional union man, declares his determination to be a soldier, until peace is restored again, if his health will remain good. He was sworn into the U. S. Service for 3 years, (unless sooner discharged,) on the 25th of May, 1861, near Jacksonville, Ill. He prefers an office in a Reg. of colored men, will accept a commission as 1st Lieut., if a Captaincy can not be procured; if the offices are all filled, please remember him in future, when a vacancy occurs that <hr /> might be filled by him; from personal, and long acquaintance, I think he would be a kind, but strict disciplinarian, a good commanding officer, please pardon me for these encomiums, he is my friend, as in fact all true union soldiers and civilians are. If you desire any references as regards W. J. Elliott, suppose Maj. Gen. Palmer will do as their present commander, Col. Cyrus Hall, we think W. J. Elliott well qualified for a Captain; my father is W. H. Carson, well known to Gen. Palmer, L. A. Parks, Ed. Alton Telegraph, also Drs. Geo. G. Allen, and R. C. Reutherford of Alton.

Therefore, I at last appeal to you for your decision in this case, hoping that you'll respond to me by letter immediately, as I wish to get back to my duties in Chicago. I have no property or claim in Wisconsin, and being an unmarried man, my residence ---- by law is where I can find avocation which for nearly one year and a half has been in Illinois, where I have been enrolled & where I am responsible as a conscript.

Camp Douglas Dec 7th 1863 Hon, Richard Yates Springfield Respected Sir It is a feeling of diffidence that I again address you a few lines in regard to getting a situation in the Army that will compensate me for my time. Forgive me in doing this for necessity compels me to urge on But my object in writing to your Excellency this time is to make a Statement of a certain fact that has occurred here, please bear with me. There is a certain Lieut J.A. Fife here that has recently been transfered to the 1st Bat Inalid Corps (formily of the 75th Ill Vol) I understand this to be an honerable Corp, and none but those who merit it can obtain to a position in it <hr /> Now this same J. A. Fife is a swindler and owes me for my property which by his fair speech and oily tounge he got from me with his promise to pay upon the word and honor of a gentleman. Now he can atain to an honorable position by fals representation and Chicanery; can strut with a Lieut' salary and cheat and defraud a comon soldier, who gets his hard tack and no support for his children, can toil on for his thirteen Dollars per month and no recourse whatsoever. "Of consistency thou art a jewell," "Of judgment thou ard fled to bruitish beasts and men have lost reason" Smothed tounged, oily words, walking puppet shows; so goes the world; all right the bigger the rascal the more leniency he gets and the more favors he receives; To the above Statement I get as good men as the state afords to endorse the fact. But enough of this. <hr /> In trying to serve my Country I have lost my health I do not begrudge it I can lay down my life if necessary for the preservation of our Glorious and Benign Government anything that my Country requires of me, but I cannot see my family suffer for the Common necessaries of life I could loose a thousand lives if I had them in the defence of our beloved land yet my duty to my family first and above all except to my God. This will be the last I shall write your Excellency in regard to this matter and will leave the subject with you. You I presume are placed beyond the reach of want and may never need the assistance of Friends God grant you may never need them. In your political periginations through life if you should want the votes of the gallant soldiers of Illinois please remember the poor soldier who addresses you upon this occasion and <hr /> call upon him and ask his vote he knows his duty and will not falter in time of need, and in closeing up this correspondence with your Excellency rember that it is in the sturdy yeomanry who have shouldered the trusty musket and dared to breast the storm of damneble and tratorous Secessionists and drove them back their slimy [stays?], that you can put your trust; if they are not worthy of honerable positions, certainly then swindlers are not If your Excellency will deign to notice this letter and give an answer in due season it will ever be gratfuly remembered by your humble petitioner Very Respectfuly I Remain Yours Fraternaly B.

Camp Douglas Dec 7th 1863 Hon, Richard Yates Springfield Respected Sir It is a feeling of diffidence that I again address you a few lines in regard to getting a situation in the Army that will compensate me for my time. Forgive me in doing this for necessity compels me to urge on But my object in writing to your Excellency this time is to make a Statement of a certain fact that has occurred here, please bear with me. There is a certain Lieut J.A. Fife here that has recently been transfered to the 1st Bat Inalid Corps (formily of the 75th Ill Vol) I understand this to be an honerable Corp, and none but those who merit it can obtain to a position in it <hr /> Now this same J. A. Fife is a swindler and owes me for my property which by his fair speech and oily tounge he got from me with his promise to pay upon the word and honor of a gentleman. Now he can atain to an honorable position by fals representation and Chicanery; can strut with a Lieut' salary and cheat and defraud a comon soldier, who gets his hard tack and no support for his children, can toil on for his thirteen Dollars per month and no recourse whatsoever. "Of consistency thou art a jewell," "Of judgment thou ard fled to bruitish beasts and men have lost reason" Smothed tounged, oily words, walking puppet shows; so goes the world; all right the bigger the rascal the more leniency he gets and the more favors he receives; To the above Statement I get as good men as the state afords to endorse the fact. But enough of this. <hr /> In trying to serve my Country I have lost my health I do not begrudge it I can lay down my life if necessary for the preservation of our Glorious and Benign Government anything that my Country requires of me, but I cannot see my family suffer for the Common necessaries of life I could loose a thousand lives if I had them in the defence of our beloved land yet my duty to my family first and above all except to my God. This will be the last I shall write your Excellency in regard to this matter and will leave the subject with you. You I presume are placed beyond the reach of want and may never need the assistance of Friends God grant you may never need them. In your political periginations through life if you should want the votes of the gallant soldiers of Illinois please remember the poor soldier who addresses you upon this occasion and <hr /> call upon him and ask his vote he knows his duty and will not falter in time of need, and in closeing up this correspondence with your Excellency rember that it is in the sturdy yeomanry who have shouldered the trusty musket and dared to breast the storm of damneble and tratorous Secessionists and drove them back their slimy [stays?], that you can put your trust; if they are not worthy of honerable positions, certainly then swindlers are not If your Excellency will deign to notice this letter and give an answer in due season it will ever be gratfuly remembered by your humble petitioner Very Respectfuly I Remain Yours Fraternaly B.
