&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Gov. Yates,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I received a week since your message through Mrs. Yates and Mrs. Woodworth. Though it was too late for me to avail myself your kindness, I should have written to you at once but for a sudden and severe illness. You have perhaps heard that I &lt;u&gt;did&lt;/u&gt; return in Washington - and how unfortunate the time proved to be coming in the midst of the [Long?] Excitement. The affair was being badly managed and caused so me so much worriment
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;vexation and general disquietude as to give me a serious fit of illness. If I ever see you I will tell you just how it was. It is too long a story to write. I suspect that several who signed the call did not know - were not informed of its object. I &lt;u&gt;know&lt;/u&gt; that it was the case with one of my oldest and best friends in the House - one whose influence alone could have secured a perfect success - but he knew nothing about the affair till the evening of the lecture. Yet his name was affixed to the invitation. When I found that things were not going well, I wished
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;of him for your influence. Nobody asked the President to be present - and he wasn't. He would have liked the portion of the lecture referring to him, I am sure.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It would have been better could the lecture have been given later - but it seemed imported that it should be given there before it was given here in the Academy of Music - in aid of our First Sanitary Fair. Both lectures I &lt;u&gt;gave&lt;/u&gt; away the one in this city was a success.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I hope you and yours are well. Love to Mrs. Yates and Katy - 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;P.S.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Anna Dickinson is out flat-footed against Lincoln -  say the Boston "Post" &amp;amp; "Courier" - She scolded about the administration here.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The heartiest applause I received at the Academy of Music was for the passages in favor of Mr. Lincoln - sincere tributes to his honest upright purpose. It seems to me he is the strongest man - in the hearts of the people, we have. But if Anna Dickinson is the mouth-piece of the Radicals they are determined to [illegible] If we are done for.

I enlisted in this regment from McLean County in this state in Sept. 1861.  I served as Sergt. Major till Jany 62 when I was appointed Regimental Qr. Mr.  I served in this last position till July 1862, when I was appointed to my present grade.  I have been in active service since my enlistment.  My object in addressing you at this time is for the purpose of procuring a transfer to some Illinois regiment.  Being a resident of Illinois I desire to serve my country in my own State organizations.  I must state here however that I have taken a great deal of pride &amp;amp; interest in my present regiment and in what I may say or do to procure the transfer asked for here, I do not wish to disparage that noble body of men.  Should you think favorably of
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;my case I wish you to bear in mind that I wish to be transferred in a higher grade-a field officer position.  I flatter myself capable of doing good service to my country in this last named grade.  Should you desire testimonials from the Army I should be able to furnish them if you require-If I cannot be appointed to some of these new regiments-100 day men-now organizing, I desire you to consider my case &amp;amp; if I can be appointed to an old regiment I would accept the appointment.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I would respectfully state that I am at present 1st Lieut &amp;amp; Adjt. of the 1st Regt. Engrs. Mo. Vols.  I enlisted in this regment from McLean County in this state in Sept. 1861.  I served as Sergt. Major till Jany 62 when I was appointed Regimental Qr. Mr.  I served in this last position till July 1862, when I was appointed to my present grade.  I have been in active service since my enlistment.  My object in addressing you at this time is for the purpose of procuring a transfer to some Illinois regiment.  Being a resident of Illinois I desire to serve my country in my own State organizations.  I must state here however that I have taken a great deal of pride &amp;amp; interest in my present regiment and in what I may say or do to procure the transfer asked for here, I do not wish to disparage that noble body of men.  Should you think favorably of
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;my case I wish you to bear in mind that I wish to be transferred in a higher grade-a field officer position.  I flatter myself capable of doing good service to my country in this last named grade.  Should you desire testimonials from the Army I should be able to furnish them if you require-If I cannot be appointed to some of these new regiments-100 day men-now organizing, I desire you to consider my case &amp;amp; if I can be appointed to an old regiment I would accept the appointment.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With very high respect
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am Sir your most obdt sevt
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Haynes E. Hudson

Regt. Mo. Vols.
(late Bissells)
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;P.S.  I have neglected to name the arm of service I desire to be transferred to.  I will state that I prefer the infantry arm.  My address till May 15th will be at this place.  H.E.H.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hudson, Lieut. Haynes, E.
