Honl Richard Yates Govr Ill Dear Sir Yours of the 12" with fifteen Dollars enclosed was duly received. I have made inquiry into Thos Doyles case and do not think he is one of that needy & worthy class to whome the small fund in your hands should go. I therefore return it to you. This Mr Doyle was an Irish Teamster got into the fight by accident (as I suppose) and lost his Home. since his return home the Town has pretty thoroughly begged for his profit and a considerable sum of money raised for him - he has bought a lot & built quite a good house, and will (if he has not already) draw a Pension. The Irish are an intolerable set of Beggars, and the more we give them the more they expect of us - I could name others to whome it would be much better to pay the money, but the wants of our poor soldiers families here, are now pretty well supplied. Very respectfully yours, K H Fell <hr /> Fell K H. Bloomington Jany 19 64. Returns 15,00 sent to Mrs Doyle, she is not an object of charity -- Executive Office Jany 28 64 File among Fordicks papers.

Rock Island January 18th 1864 Dear Governor: Your kind letter informing me of the applications for the post of Sutler in Rock Island and tendering your kind offices in the matter, adds much to the weight of obligation I am already under to you. The position of Sutler is now held by Mr Albert C Dart, of this city, under appointment of Col Rusch late commandant of Col Johnson the present commandant of the Barracks, and which appointment is as I suppose, now on file in the War Department for the indorsement of the Secretary. Mr Dart is one of the very best and most reliable business men, and active working republicans in our city, and is iminently deserving of the place. His application was based on the request of the leading business men of the city, and his discharge of the duties of the position has met the unqualified acceptance of the officers in charge and all others concerned. For his sake I should be highly gratified to have his appointment approved and his commission issued. <hr /> Besides, let me add confidentially, that I have a personal interest, which would be very materially promoted by his permanent appointment to the place. Consequently, the exercise of your influence in his behalf, in such manner as in your judgment will most effectively serve to obtain his appointment and commission, at an early day, will very greatly oblige me, And this I would make free to ask of you as an especial personal favor. The uncertainty that now rests upon the matter interferes very considerably with the business arrangements of Mr Dart and myself for the future. It would be a real pleasure to me to avail myself of your kind invitation to visit you at Springfield and I shall seek an opportunity to do so. At present my court is in session here, and will occupy me for a fortnight or so. After that I know not what may "turn up" Remember me to Mrs Y. and believe me as Ever Your friend Ira O.
