Little Rock Arkansas May 10th / 64 Gov Richard Yates Dear Sir; I propose, by this communication, to ask a favor of you, which I hope you will not fail to grant. I have enlisted twice in the Service of my Country, and for two long years I have endured the hardships, and sufferings of a soldier's life. I was a stranger in Logan County when I became a member of the 106th Illinois Regiment, consequently I have had no one to use their influence in favor of my promotion. But I have spent time, money and Strength in the cause of my Country, and in the vindication of the fundamental principles of our Government - hence, I feel myself justly entitled to a <hr /> commission, which I hope you will be kind enough to grant to me. I refer you to John Gillett & Richard Gill of Logan County, and Dr Lamphear of Springfield as to my character, and claims for the favor I have asked. Col Henry Yates would willingly recommend my promotion if a vacancy would occur in the company to which I belong; but the probability is, that no such vacancy will occur during the period of my Service - hence, I must look for the favor outside of my Company. Having served faithfully for two years, as a private Soldier, I hope, now, that you will confer the honor upon me of holding a commission in the Army of the United States. The position I request is, that of Lieutenant or Captain. I can send you recommendations from several good men if it is necessary. <hr /> Do what you can for me, and you will receive the gratitudee of Your humble Servant J. G. Chalfant Co "D" 106th Regt Ill Vol P.S. If Gov Yates' private secretary opens this communication, he will oblige me very much by handing it to the Govenor himself. J G. C- <hr /> Chalfant J. C.

Ottawa May 7th 1864 Hon Richard Yates - Dear Sir -- The enclosed paper has been sent me for forwarding to you. I take the liberty of adding my prayers to that of the Battery Boys. You see by this paper, that nearly the whole of the Battery come forward and entreat your powerful interposition in behalf of my husband whom they believe to be suffering injustice. I entreat it also. What we beg is, that you will be so good as to write to Genl Schofield and request a Court Martial, or at least a Court of Investigation in the case. In my husband's absence last winter on the Recruiting Service, his Lieutenants preferred charges against him. They were in a plot -- so the "boys" say -- were moved by the hope of promotion and so forth, and were instigated by one of their number who has long borne the reputation of an intriguer. They kept their plan secret from the men as long as they could. When the men found it out they were indignant - furious - raging. They almost took my husband in their arms on his arrival -- they threatened not to do duty if he was taken from them -- they would hold no dealing with the Lieutenants -- they proposed to mutiny and spend the rest of their time in a military prison. My husband calmed them assuring them that he should soon obtain a hearing, and disprove all injurious charges. But <hr /> to obtain a hearing is not so easy, for all these things move slowly, and this long delay is what they beg you to bring to a close, believing that you can. The charges are nothing that my husband cannot readily and will not gladly meet, and if dismissal is not a pregone conclusion as I have known it to be in one or two cases of terrible injustice, I have no fear for the result. Not only the privates but his Superior Officers are satisfied that the effort arises from jealousy and other mean motives, and give him their warmest countenance and sympathy. As to the Lieutenants they stand astonished at the storm they have raised about themselves, and now are anxious that my husband should rectify their little mistake. As to the chief instigator of the movement, he assures every one that he never heard of the charges and knew nothing about them. The wisdom with which they have managed may be judged from the fact that they told some of the men whom they thought their friends that they had to put in some heavy charges that they could not prove, in order to create an impression prejudicial to my husband. And their wives here, commenced by boasting that the Captain was to be degraded and their husbands elevated, and some of them even went so far as to plan a removal to Knoxville on that consummation. O Govenor Yates! I [conjure?] you speak to Genl Schofield to settle up this matter - to give a hearing and fair play to an honorable man. I appeal to you - I place myself and the good name of my children under your protection. I was willing to give up my husband to fight and even to die if necessary for our Country - I was ready to do all myself that an American woman with revolutionary blood in her veins might do, but to bear this <hr /> never entered my imagination. You yourself have been assailed often enough to know how easy it is for malice to invent accusations. You know what my husbands Commanding Officers think of him, and have yourself corresponded with the War Department respecting his requested promotion. We here always felt so proud to belong to Illinois -- we have triumphed in her glory, and now we beg that her shield may cover us. Forgive the liberty I take in writing you- Grace Greenwood told me much of your kindness or I believe I should not have dared. I remain Most Respectfully Yours Sarah E. (Mrs E. C) Hinshaw. <hr /> To His Excellency, Richard. Yates. Governor of the State of Illinois. Respected Sir, We the undersigned members of Henhaw's Battery, Independent Battery of Illinois Volunteers, do most respectfully represent that during the absence of our Captain Edward C. Henshaw, in discharge of his several duties, certain officers of this Battery for their own ends, have endeavored to injure him in the minds of his soldiers, and have preferred most unjust and groundless charges against him, We therefore respectfully ask you Governor to see our Captain righted. We have taken this liberty to address, you, because we know that you love the right. and because you are our Governor and we know you to be a true patriot and because you know the reasons why our Captain was absent at the time he was, and further because you know him and no doubt some of us. and therefore Governor we look to you, to have our Captain put right. for he is the man and the only man that we want to command our Battery.

Ottawa May 7th 1864 Hon Richard Yates - Dear Sir -- The enclosed paper has been sent me for forwarding to you. I take the liberty of adding my prayers to that of the Battery Boys. You see by this paper, that nearly the whole of the Battery come forward and entreat your powerful interposition in behalf of my husband whom they believe to be suffering injustice. I entreat it also. What we beg is, that you will be so good as to write to Genl Schofield and request a Court Martial, or at least a Court of Investigation in the case. In my husband's absence last winter on the Recruiting Service, his Lieutenants preferred charges against him. They were in a plot -- so the "boys" say -- were moved by the hope of promotion and so forth, and were instigated by one of their number who has long borne the reputation of an intriguer. They kept their plan secret from the men as long as they could. When the men found it out they were indignant - furious - raging. They almost took my husband in their arms on his arrival -- they threatened not to do duty if he was taken from them -- they would hold no dealing with the Lieutenants -- they proposed to mutiny and spend the rest of their time in a military prison. My husband calmed them assuring them that he should soon obtain a hearing, and disprove all injurious charges. But <hr /> to obtain a hearing is not so easy, for all these things move slowly, and this long delay is what they beg you to bring to a close, believing that you can. The charges are nothing that my husband cannot readily and will not gladly meet, and if dismissal is not a pregone conclusion as I have known it to be in one or two cases of terrible injustice, I have no fear for the result. Not only the privates but his Superior Officers are satisfied that the effort arises from jealousy and other mean motives, and give him their warmest countenance and sympathy. As to the Lieutenants they stand astonished at the storm they have raised about themselves, and now are anxious that my husband should rectify their little mistake. As to the chief instigator of the movement, he assures every one that he never heard of the charges and knew nothing about them. The wisdom with which they have managed may be judged from the fact that they told some of the men whom they thought their friends that they had to put in some heavy charges that they could not prove, in order to create an impression prejudicial to my husband. And their wives here, commenced by boasting that the Captain was to be degraded and their husbands elevated, and some of them even went so far as to plan a removal to Knoxville on that consummation. O Govenor Yates! I [conjure?] you speak to Genl Schofield to settle up this matter - to give a hearing and fair play to an honorable man. I appeal to you - I place myself and the good name of my children under your protection. I was willing to give up my husband to fight and even to die if necessary for our Country - I was ready to do all myself that an American woman with revolutionary blood in her veins might do, but to bear this <hr /> never entered my imagination. You yourself have been assailed often enough to know how easy it is for malice to invent accusations. You know what my husbands Commanding Officers think of him, and have yourself corresponded with the War Department respecting his requested promotion. We here always felt so proud to belong to Illinois -- we have triumphed in her glory, and now we beg that her shield may cover us. Forgive the liberty I take in writing you- Grace Greenwood told me much of your kindness or I believe I should not have dared. I remain Most Respectfully Yours Sarah E. (Mrs E. C) Hinshaw. <hr /> To His Excellency, Richard. Yates. Governor of the State of Illinois. Respected Sir, We the undersigned members of Henhaw's Battery, Independent Battery of Illinois Volunteers, do most respectfully represent that during the absence of our Captain Edward C. Henshaw, in discharge of his several duties, certain officers of this Battery for their own ends, have endeavored to injure him in the minds of his soldiers, and have preferred most unjust and groundless charges against him, We therefore respectfully ask you Governor to see our Captain righted. We have taken this liberty to address, you, because we know that you love the right. and because you are our Governor and we know you to be a true patriot and because you know the reasons why our Captain was absent at the time he was, and further because you know him and no doubt some of us. and therefore Governor we look to you, to have our Captain put right. for he is the man and the only man that we want to command our Battery.
