Aurora Augt 13th 1861 Dear Gov The bearer Maj N Grensel of the 7th Regt of Mo: Volunteers is the Officer I spoke of to you about when down last week. He is the unanimous choice of the Fox River Regiment for their Col. And is also the choice of all of our people here. This will be a Model Regt and as Grensel is a citizen here we are all very anxious for his appointment. He reported the Regiment to Genl Fremont and has received permission to drill his Regiment for thirty days at this place. He was examined in St Louis as to his qualifications and passed. Now what we wish is for you to give him his commission as Col. and transfer him from the 7th Regt to this., or if necessary will resign his commission as to the 7th and come to this. As I informed you Cook will not like to spare him. But the public service ought to be cared for first. This Regiment consists of 10 companies of infantry and two of cavalry. The clothing camp equipage arms & are all on the way. And they are to <hr /> mustered into service of the U S on Monday next by Capt Webb. Who is furnishing the equipment. The Col presents this in person as he is very anxious to return as soon as possible as he ought to be on the ground now all the time. The recommendation for the other officers he has which is all satisfactory and I hope will meet with your approbation.

Carrollton Ill., Aug. 13, 1861. Hon. Richard Yates, Springfield, Ill: Dear Sir: In common, doubtless, with a host of others who may be troubling you in a similar manner, I have a desire to "go to the wars," if it can be so arranged. You know my situation here, conducting a Republican paper in this "Gibraltar of Democracy." Whether I have done my country and the party any service, is not for me to say, but this I may say with truth - that I have stemmed the current as long as it seems possible to do in the present condition of business, and I must, in justice <hr /> to myself, and as a matter of dire necessity, suspend publication for a time. But I want to go out of the citadel "with colors flying," so as to give as little cause as possible for rejoicing to "mine enemies." If I can get an appointment of some kind, which will give a decent support for myself and family, I can suspend operations here with good grace, and resume hereafter, when my services may be needed more than now. I make application to you for no particular office, but throw myself upon your kindness, to do for me what you can. As you are aware, I have been a Civil Engineer, and am not unused <hr /> to camp life, though I lay no claim to military knowledge. Perhaps, in the organization of the new Regiment from Macoupin, Greene, &c., a place may be found for me as Quartermaster, or something of that nature, or you may be able to bestow me somewhere else in a position suited to my capacity. I rest the matter with your judgment and kind favor. Please answer, if you can offer any encouragement, and if my presence in Springfield is desirable in effecting the arrangement, I will come at any time. Very Respectfully and Truly Yours, S. P.

St. Louis Mo Aug 14/61 Dear Governor I have received with great satisfaction your several letters of the 12' (Inst) – In relation to the apprehensions of the people of Quincy although I believe them to be wholly without foundation it will be sufficient to say that Genl Hurlbut with five hundred & fifty men of the 16' Ills is at Palmyra & that I have today ordered the [Iowa?] regiment with four pieces of artillery to Hannibal – These of themselves would be sufficient to ensure the safety of Quincy but in addition I have just had an interview with a committee from N.E. Missouri headed by James S. Green begging for peace. The system I have adopted in North Missouri is beginning to bear done upon the secessionists and they are or soon will be as anxious for peace as the union men. Green assures me that he has the power to make his brother & all other [persons?] in arms in his section of the county, lay down their arms & keep the peace & <hr /> solemnly promises to do so. I told him plainly that it was their only chance for safety as I intended immediately to bear down upon them & their property as they never had dreamed of before. Two union men of character, one from Canton & one from Edina came with the Committee & assured me that the pledges there made would be kept. I think there will be little more trouble in that section of country. I know nothing & have heard nothing of the arms you refer to. I can get no arms here in the present State of confusion & know as little of them as you do. I sent you verbally by [Caisel?] my views & opinions of matters here from which you may deduce easy conclusions as to what can be done or what as can hope for, in regard to our Ills troops. You know how anxious I have been about them & how zealous I am to put them to such I hope that they will do justice to themselves & honor to the State. I confess I see but poor prospect of accomplishing what we both so much desire but you may be sure that I will do the best I can now & always. I will suggest to Fremont <hr /> about the aid from Ills. though I have little expectation he will adopt my suggestion. Foreigners are the rage & will be until they are squelched out. Every thing is in a State of excitement here today. Martial law has been partially declared in the city & the police put under control of the military. Troops in large numbers are going & have gone forward to Rolla. I hope the disaster at Springfield can be repaired. I will write you fully when things grow clearer within a day or two.

I will suggest to Fremont <hr /> about the aid from Ills. though I have little expectation he will adopt my suggestion. Foreigners are the rage & will be until they are squelched out. Every thing is in a State of excitement here today. Martial law has been partially declared in the city & the police put under control of the military. Troops in large numbers are going & have gone forward to Rolla. I hope the disaster at Springfield can be repaired. I will write you fully when things grow clearer within a day or two.
