Resolved that while we most heartily endorse the conduct of the Illinois soldiers and those of all the Federal Armies of the Nation upon the battle <hr /> field, and their efforts while at home to crush the rebellion and the Southern sympathy to be found in some of our Northern Citizens, yet we must condemn depredations by isolated individuals in the military service, upon the property of loyal men in Illinois or elsewhere, Resolved that a copy of these resolutions be forwarded by the city clerk to his Excellency Gov Richard Yates, and also to Colonel Oakes Provost Marshall of the State of Illinois.

Head Qtrs Ills San Agency Memphis April 15th 1864 Friend Snyder Yours of the 9th inst is at hand. I was greately disappointed at not seeing the Gov when here. I wanted to see him badly in relation to many things. I write you at this time under the impression that you go to Washington with the Gov, yet in consideration of the chances, I shall send this in the case Col Woods with directions &c. On account of my late serious illness I require a change. I wrote the Gov in relation to it, & am in receipt of a letter from him today. He writes - "if you will decide what position you will apply for, I will give you strong letter &c." The Gov writes me a very kind letter & assures me of his assistance. Not having been an office seeker, I am not well posted as to what offices are vacant that will pay & find it difficult to get here the information I would desire. I have my mind upon the following offices which I understand are vacant, but have not been able to <hr />inform myself whether or not the Prest will fill the vacancies. U.S. Marshall for the south Dist of Mississippi U.S. Marshal for the Eastern Dist of Arkansas Direct Tax Commissioner for Arkansas Direct Tax Commissioner for Miss.-- I would prefer a Marshallship --provided, the court is to be organized within a reasonable time. If no prospect of same, then at this distance from Washington, & my limited information, a Direct Tax Commissionership is the only thing I can think of. I know no reason why the Prest should not soon proceed to organize the Dist Courts in the States reclaimed, or partially so, from the rebellion -- and in the course of human events, this is to be done, a Marshalship would be Just the thing for me. Now any information in relation to the above will be gratefully received & remembered. If you go to Washington the information I require will be at hand -- viz -- whither the courts are to be established & marshals appointed. I am sorry to trouble you but situated as I am, not being able to leave my duties I am obliged to seek information in this way. The Gov writes that I had better get other recommendations, I shall do so -- having had many offered me -- but it will take some little time to bring things about, and if any thing can be done <hr />in the mean time I shall be very glad. With that view, I have thought if you went to Washington with the Gov, & he had the time to spare, that perhaps he could secure either the marshalship or Direct Tax Commissionership for Miss or Ark -- agreeable to the information you might obtain -- so you see I am depending much upon you -- & hope that you are in Wash ere this. Please write me receipt & oblige Yours very truly T.P. Robb Agt. <hr /> Robb T P Major Memphis April 15 64. Wrote the Governor in relation to a change - Governor replied would recommend him for any position he would decide to apply for. Does not know what position is vacant that will pay -- Would prefer a Marshalship if the Court is to be opened in a reasonable time.

Was pleased that you were still in the land of the living & that the fire of your patriotism had not gone out. I do not see how any good & true man can feel otherwise, in these times, than that it is his bounden duty to devote himself to the common cause - the cause of our common country Nevertheless, I cannot give you any such assurances as to employment in hospital as you make a condition of reentering the service. I have no power, myself, beyond my own regiment, and in that all vacancies have been filled. Beyond that all I could do would be merely in recommendation.

Headquarters 11th Cavalry, 126th Regiment Ind. Vols. Camp Carrington, Ind. April 13th 1864 Governor: It has been to me a matter of pride and pleasure to know that the first suggestion in regard to "Mounted Infantry," since so valuable the Government, and now so formidable to the rebels, was mine over one year ago, forwarded to you, and with your recommendation forwarded on to the War Department. Of course it would have received very little thought or encouragement without your recommendation but that it received, and the success of that arm of the service has proved the wisdom of the recommendation. I desire to make another suggestion, and it is only made after having been discussed by various Illinois boys, now doing service elsewhere, and others who still cling to the old State organizations, and all of whom are very anxious for the suggestion to be carried into effect. It is that the soldiers themselves be permitted to give at once an appropriate and convincing proof of their appreciation of your efforts in their behalf, and their full faith in the patriotic feeling which has prompted you. The desire is not to burden any one of all the thousands of Illinois <hr />brave sons who are in the field; but enable each to contribute as he may feel disposed to this work. I desire to print and circulate papers for contributions in every Illinois regiment and battery in the service for the purpose of raising a fund, the total of which shall be placed in the hands of some responsible person or persons, who shall expend it in erecting a residence for you and your children which shall remain with the descendants during all coming time. I believe the whole might be done, and a very respectable sum raised within six or nine months, and I know that the soldiers would enter into such an enterprise with a will which would rather need repressing than attempts to make the sum to be raised large. I am now only doubt whether it would be wise to limit the donation of each or not. I should certainly desire that the contribution blanks be of an uniform size, and when all were in bound for reference hereafter, or rather that each might some day be able to prove by his signature the part he had taken in the present struggle. This, Governor, is not a mere passing fancy. I believe it can and will succeed, even beyond my expectations, <hr />these are large. I do not, either, see any impropriety in it. I know that all will feel proud thus to give a lasting vote in your favor. As the effort is not to be confined to one regiment I have felt it right to first inform you of the intention expressed by many to put this suggestion into execution, and stake all on make it a grand success of which the recipient may well be proud. Hoping this may not meet with your disapproval I am, Your Excellency's Obedient servant Richard B. Avery 11th Ind. Vol. Cavalry His Excellency Gov. Richard Yates P.S. As Illinois is first of all others in her response to the calls of the Country and of patriotism, so let Illinois soldiers be first of all others in acknowledgment of their full appreciation of the assistance they have received from the Governor of their choice Respectfully Your obt servt R.

I should certainly desire that the contribution blanks be of an uniform size, and when all were in bound for reference hereafter, or rather that each might some day be able to prove by his signature the part he had taken in the present struggle. This, Governor, is not a mere passing fancy. I believe it can and will succeed, even beyond my expectations, <hr />these are large. I do not, either, see any impropriety in it. I know that all will feel proud thus to give a lasting vote in your favor. As the effort is not to be confined to one regiment I have felt it right to first inform you of the intention expressed by many to put this suggestion into execution, and stake all on make it a grand success of which the recipient may well be proud. Hoping this may not meet with your disapproval I am, Your Excellency's Obedient servant Richard B. Avery 11th Ind. Vol. Cavalry His Excellency Gov. Richard Yates P.S.
