Chicago, 15 Jan. 1864 Hon'ble Richard Yates Dear Governor This note will be handed to you by B. A. Ulrich Esq. of Chicago. He desires a German Consulship; and I have taken much interest in helping him to obtain it. His prospects are good. He will state you the facts. He would like a letter from you. You are already aware that he studied Civil law, and the German language in Germany. You are also aware that by means of German speeches, and German publications, he rendered great services in the late Campaign in Illinois. Like me he has desired your election as United States Senator. <hr /> In delivering sixty addresses in the late campaign in Illinois, I never omitted to throw in a word in favor of your election, as a matter of not only State, but of National importance, and I do now sincerely rejoice that you are now placed in that high place, where you can crowd the [illegible] traitor into thorough, radical, treason punishing measures. Notwithstanding a few places paid us liberally, yet so many paid little or nothing, that I paid out more money, while delivering these sixty addresses, than was paid to me. And yet so glorious is the success, especially when crowned by the diction of so noble a patriot as U.S. <hr /> Senator, that I now feel a thousand times repaid for all the wear and tear of these labors. You will by the enclosed that I have accepted invitations to [five? fine?] lessons in Elocution and Shakespeare to Classes of ladies and gentlemen, and also private lessons, to lawyers, clergymen &c in Chicago. I remain, Dear Governor, Very truly Yours, A. McCoy <hr /> McCoy Prof. A. S Chicago Jan 15/65 Recommending Barton A Ulrich for appointment to consulship in Germany.
