                    <text>&lt;p&gt;To His Excellency Richard Yates, Governor of the State of Illinois.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Humble Petition of Catherine Black. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Most Respectfully Sheweth, &lt;u&gt;That&lt;/u&gt; your petitioner's husband, John Black, is now an inmate of the jail of Cook County, under a sixty days sentence from the Recorder's Court, on the 19th day of March, for an alleged assault upon the person of one Margaret Whelan.  That the whole affair was only a &lt;u&gt;drunken&lt;/u&gt; &lt;u&gt;quarrel&lt;/u&gt; among neighbours who had always previously been good friends, and that the prisoner had, no weapon whatever, other than a heavy ring on one of the fingers of his right hand.  That your petitioner has no means of support, save the earnings of her husband, of which support she is now deprived.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;That the prisoner is in very feeble health, and that his very existence itself is endangered by his incarceration for which reasons petitioner humbly prays Your Excellency to pardon the said John Black, and your petitioner will ever pray.  
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Catherine Black
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Chicago April 5 1864
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have been acquainted with John Black for several years. For nearly one year, he was in my employ and gave good satisfaction except on Christmas.  He had a little spree induced by being among those he thought to be his friends.  I think Mrs Blacks statements are correct  
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;H. Neuhall
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I unite most cordially in [desiring?] the petition of Mrs Black be granted.

                <text>&lt;p&gt;To His Excellency Richard Yates, Governor of the State of Illinois.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Humble Petition of Catherine Black. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Most Respectfully Sheweth, &lt;u&gt;That&lt;/u&gt; your petitioner's husband, John Black, is now an inmate of the jail of Cook County, under a sixty days sentence from the Recorder's Court, on the 19th day of March, for an alleged assault upon the person of one Margaret Whelan.  That the whole affair was only a &lt;u&gt;drunken&lt;/u&gt; &lt;u&gt;quarrel&lt;/u&gt; among neighbours who had always previously been good friends, and that the prisoner had, no weapon whatever, other than a heavy ring on one of the fingers of his right hand.  That your petitioner has no means of support, save the earnings of her husband, of which support she is now deprived.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;That the prisoner is in very feeble health, and that his very existence itself is endangered by his incarceration for which reasons petitioner humbly prays Your Excellency to pardon the said John Black, and your petitioner will ever pray.  
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Catherine Black
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Chicago April 5 1864
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have been acquainted with John Black for several years. For nearly one year, he was in my employ and gave good satisfaction except on Christmas.  He had a little spree induced by being among those he thought to be his friends.  I think Mrs Blacks statements are correct  
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;H. Neuhall
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I unite most cordially in [desiring?] the petition of Mrs Black be granted.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;H.G. Powns
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;C H. Stoughton
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;H Booth
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Black, Catherine
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Chicago, Ills.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;April 5. 1864.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Solicits a reprieve for her husband. Sentenced by recorders Court to 60 days imprisonment for assault which she alleges arose from a &lt;u&gt;drunken quarrel&lt;/u&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Referred
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(file)

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You now have it in your power to help the poor negro as well as the poor white man, by urging upon Congress to pass a stay law for this City &amp;amp; the District of Columbia.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As the law now is if a man is in arrears for Rent they walk in your House &amp;amp; take over the beds from under you.  I have been served so myself twice my family stripped of everything.  I beg leave to call your attention to this fact, &amp;amp; earnestly  implore you to insist upon it being done.  I should have called on you when you was here but have been confined to my bed for the past 4 months &amp;amp; God only knows whether I shall ever rise from it &amp;amp; I am anxious to have a law passed that will prevent my family from being turned in the street without an article of furniture to help themselves with -

                    <text>&lt;p&gt;Camp 80" Ills Vols Infs
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Blue Spring Tenn April 9/64
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thomas Quick Esq
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have read in the Nashville Union that Gov Yeates will call some Regts home before long for State Protection I wish you to do something for the 80" Ills, Vols, Inf  We have seen extreme hard Service and our Officers are Mostly all Prisoners without our officers we have hard times  We have as noble Set of men as ever went from the Proud state of Illinois  I can safely Say there is not a soldier in the Regt that is Copperheadish or the least tainted with it.  I trust you will do something for us if there is to be Regt called home from States Duty if all the Regts that are in the Service had done as much
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;as the 80th this rebelion would have been put down by this time.  Our Camp is within four miles of a nice little town Called Cleavland  It is the best Country I have seen in rebeldom
&lt;p&gt;It is called East Tennessee We have a great many Union Citizens in this part and they are true loyal  We heard from Maj Bates he escaped from Libby but was recaptured I saw an Officer that was a Prisoner he told me he knew Maj Bates and after he was recaptured he was confined in a cell all he got to eat was bread and water Poor Maj a noble man a brave man a good man beloved by all of the Regt  I will have to close as I am not in a convenient place to write Soldiers have to take it as they can git it
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am yours Most Obt   Jas Cunningham
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Capt &amp;amp; Act Major 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Cunningham Jas
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cap 80th Ills
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Camp Blue Spring Ten
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;April 7 1864.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If there is to be a Regt Called back for home protection, requests that the 80th be selected as one truly loyal. has Seen and done much Service.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Letter from Thos Quick Seconding this request encld.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Blue Spring Tenn April 9/64
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thomas Quick Esq
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have read in the Nashville Union that Gov Yeates will call some Regts home before long for State Protection I wish you to do something for the 80" Ills, Vols, Inf  We have seen extreme hard Service and our Officers are Mostly all Prisoners without our officers we have hard times  We have as noble Set of men as ever went from the Proud state of Illinois  I can safely Say there is not a soldier in the Regt that is Copperheadish or the least tainted with it.  I trust you will do something for us if there is to be Regt called home from States Duty if all the Regts that are in the Service had done as much
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;as the 80th this rebelion would have been put down by this time.  Our Camp is within four miles of a nice little town Called Cleavland  It is the best Country I have seen in rebeldom
&lt;p&gt;It is called East Tennessee We have a great many Union Citizens in this part and they are true loyal  We heard from Maj Bates he escaped from Libby but was recaptured I saw an Officer that was a Prisoner he told me he knew Maj Bates and after he was recaptured he was confined in a cell all he got to eat was bread and water Poor Maj a noble man a brave man a good man beloved by all of the Regt  I will have to close as I am not in a convenient place to write Soldiers have to take it as they can git it
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am yours Most Obt   Jas Cunningham
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Capt &amp;amp; Act Major 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Cunningham Jas
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cap 80th Ills
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Camp Blue Spring Ten
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;April 7 1864.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If there is to be a Regt Called back for home protection, requests that the 80th be selected as one truly loyal. has Seen and done much Service.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Letter from Thos Quick Seconding this request encld.
