Cottonwood P.O. Gallatin Co Ills. August 17th 1864 His Excellency Richard Yate Governor of the State of Illinois, Dear Sir I have been Solicited by Several prominent Citizens of White and Gallatin Counties, to address you, in reference to the present critical condition of South Eastern Illinois. There are large numbers of armed enemies of our country just across the Ohio river in Kentucky, and they are continually threatening an attack upon our border towns and counties, and at this time the Ohio river is so very low that it can be forded at almost any point desired. The Citizens near the river are in a constant State of Alarm, and uneasiness---from the fact that they do believe that there will be a raid made on our portion of the State; and that Soon, unless there are Some prompt measures taken to drive those Rebels from the adjoining counties in Kentucky, or at [vertically written] File <hr /> at least Some plan adopted to prevent an invasion, of our own State. Those Rebels on last Saturday captured three Steamboats near Shawneetown and then came over on this Side of the river to gather up the Cattle & Horses that had got off the boats. There are men here who are willing to organize for the defense of the Southern part of our State, and there are a number of meetings called to consult the general interests of our community. There can be a regiment of Home Guards raised in ten days in White & Gallatin Counties; and those of the best citizens of our county. But we are wanting in the necessary kind of arms and ammunition, to make an Organization beneficial, and as I have been informed by Several Soldiers and Officers of the Army that that there are plenty of old guns at St. Louis Vicksburg and other places that are not Suitable for active Service in the main Army---but would answer our purpose very well; I would therefore make the following Suggestions for <hr /> your consideration. 1st That you authorize the Organization of a regiment for home defense to have it head Quarters at Shawneetown. 2nd That you appoint [by?] Cols Olney or Whiting to Organize and command Said regiment, leaving the companies to choose the other officers if they wish. 3rd That you furnish Said Regiment with Suitable arms---and other equipments as may be necessary. Sir I hope that you will pardon me for this intrusion on your time (as no no doubt your are continually busily engaged in matters that are of deep interest and that require all your time I am personally a stranger to you but I refer you to Col Kent, Capt Brill and other officers and members of the 29th Regiment Ills Vols (who are or will be at your place in a Short time) as to my character or any <hr /> other matter concerning me that you may wish.

I first enlisted at East Lasalle Co. Ill June 7th 1861 & was with Col. Mulligan at Lexington Mo. was captured there sent to Chicago & discharged from service. I reenlisted Jan. 2nd 1862 under Col. Cushman of 53rd Ill Vol. of which Regt. I am now a veteran vol. When the 53rd went into camp Douglas I was detailed in Hosp. as a nurse, & was left behind my Regt. as such in Gen. Hosp. After the 53rd had left there, I was induced by fair promises to again join the 23rd, and they put my name on their rolls, but I was not mustered into that Regt. so after they had gone to Virginia I got to thinking the matter over, and <hr /> wrote to you in Jan 1863 to see what I should do in the matter as they of the 23rd had failed to keep their promises to me. Capt. S.A. Simmason got an answer to my letter to you, also the one I sent you, and threatened to finish me for writing to you about it, so I deserted his Regt 23rd went to Pa. where my family was then, and am now living. I was arrested as a deserter from the 23rd Regt. in Oct. but told the Provost Marshall that I belonged to the 53rd, so he sent me here. My papers & charges were sent to the late lamented McPherson and inducement held out that if I would reenlist as a veteran it would go easier with me, & I was charged as being a deserter for about 18 months, whereas I was not out of service but about half that time, from Feb to Oct. The sentence was that there $100 Dollars of my pay stopped & cost of arrest. <hr /> When our Regt. was paid off at Vicksburg just before going home on their vet. furlough, the paymaster refused to pay me, although & had been mustered as a veteran. Now what I want is to have something done for my suffering family for the people where they lives refuse to help them for they say she belongs to Ill & I thank God that I am an Ill. soldier I have not as you see drawn a cent of pay from the Govt. since Jan. 1863, and my family have nothing to sustain them; but the last letter I got from them my wife was sick & about to be thrown upon the town as happens. I have a wife, a boy 8 years, & a girl 4 years old. Her address is Susan E. Knapp Carbondale Luzerne Co. Pa. Trusting to your humanity to help them in this their time of need I will remain as ever Your Faithful Servant Chas. C. Knapp Hon. Richard Yates Co. D. 53rd Ills.

Cap Rogers 105th Ill vol. by his own personal influence and assertions for that Co [will?] for the companies of of Capts. Groors & Daniels more than enough men for a full Co. He was to have been Lieutenant but at the solicitation of friends he gave way to Willard Scott who was elected 2d lieutenant & Sedgwick was made orderly Sergeant. The co became reduced by losses below the minimum so that there was no chance for promotion at the Solicitation of Mr. Farnsworth M.C. [Ills?] I was furloughed and raised a co of 100days men, he [algreted?] to this course as it would be [escadeicy?] have to desend from teh position of Capt to that of and sergeant when the 100 days expired but as it was felt that he was the only man that could raise the Co. his scruples were overruled and he raised the Co. was made its capt and is now stationed at Paducah, Co I 132 Regt <hr /> he has assured by Mr Farnsworth and many others that if he raised the Co. he should be discharged to take command of it. When the co reported Mr Farnsworth telegraphed that he could not get his discharge but his furlough had been extended for 100 days that he might take command of the co. he said he would not do this that he could not at the seed of the time pull of shoulder straps for Sergt STripes but the Co had enlisted under him and refused to be mustered in under any other capt and to save the co he was persuaded to take command Now he feels keenly that is would be andignity to be reduced to his former grade, is there no possible way that he can be discharged can it not be done if his co reenlist for three years. If it can be done it should be as a matter of [gresten?] to a good officer If you will help in the matter you will place me and the many persons interested in keeping Co under lasting obligation, his brother I.B. Sedgwick is one of our most influential friends in DuPage Co. please let me hear from you on the subject Yours very truly B.C. Cook <hr /> My Dear Governor I think I understand this case upon which Mr Cook has addressed you, The whole family are your particular friends, and they case is one that merits attention. Please do what you can to abtain the discharge of Capt S. I do know it will be of advantage to us in this region as your supporters and friends, Mr Cook is a warm supporter of yours. Mr. Norton is not, he gives his support to Washburne If you abtain this discharge, I think it will give Cook Dupages Co in the nominating convention for Congress, over Norton which will secure the nomination to Mr. C. & we shall give you I have doubt the entire deligation of Representatives and Senators from the sixth district Yours as ever W.T. Hopkins <hr /> Cook, B.C. Ottawa Ills Aug 18th 1864 Gives the case of John A Sedgwick who was 1st Sergt. in 105th Regt and got a furlough to recruit a company of 100 Days men He recruited the company and wants to be discharged as he dont want to descend from position of Capt. to that of Sergt. at the end of 100 Days - Mr. Farnsworth exerted his influence but could only get furlough extended 100 days. Application made to Maj Vincent Aug 21, 1864 Apply for Discharge & write both Cook - & Hopkins - Do you think telegraph to Vincent would be best?

His Excellency Richard Yates Governor of Illinois Governor The Citizens of Cairo are about organizing a Regiment for the purpose of aiding in the defense of the City should it be invaded There is no place in the State, so much exposed as Cairo. the property holders and best citizens of the place are fully aware of the position they occupy and are determined to do their duty. It is the opinion of most of those who I have conversed with that a Regiment can be organized here in a few days. If arms can be procured, I respectfully request that you furnish Arms for all the Companies, organized at this place. I have no doubt but what a Battalion can be raised at any rate. Gentlemen of undoubted character will become responsible for the Arms. There is but one Regt of One Hundred days men here which is not sufficient for the <hr /> protection of the place. This will be handed to you by D.W. Munn Esq who will explain the matter fully to you. Mr. Munn is one of the most popular and influentual Citizens of this place fully identified with its interest.
