I learn (not from him) that parties in Washburne's interest have asked that the columns of the Tribune be thrown open to them, for the publication of affidavits affecting your character for sobriety etc. and that Mr Medill refused to accede to the demand. He would have nothing to do with attacks upon you. It was said to Medill that you were "drunk" at Fulton, and that affidavits could be provided to that effect.

Jacksonville Ill. Dec. 1st 1864. Hon. Richard Yates Springfield, Ill. Governor: Allow me to introduce to you Col. G. P. Smith late of the 129th Regt. Ill. Vol. The Col. has faithfully served his country in the army for nearly two years as Captain, Major and Colonel, retiring only when protracted ill health rendered it indispensible. During the recent political campaign he did good service on the stump, having canvassed the whole of the 12th Senatorial District, with marked ability as the Union nominee for State Senator. Col. Smith desires to make his home, in the future, in Washington Territory, where his aged mother and a brother now reside, and being limited in finances, desires a Federal appointment as a means of introduction to the new Territory. He thinks the office of Collector of Customs at Port Townsend, though paying but <hr /> a small salary, would be desirable Believing it to be in your power greatly to assist the Colonel, and regarding him as entirely worthy of the distinction, we most respectfully solicit your kind offices in his behalf. By so doing you will place your neighbors and friends, the subscribers, under renewed obligations, who beg to be regarded as your most respectfully. Edward P. Kirby. M. P. Ayers John T. Cassell A.

Jacksonville Ill. Dec. 1st 1864. Hon. Richard Yates Springfield, Ill. Governor: Allow me to introduce to you Col. G. P. Smith late of the 129th Regt. Ill. Vol. The Col. has faithfully served his country in the army for nearly two years as Captain, Major and Colonel, retiring only when protracted ill health rendered it indispensible. During the recent political campaign he did good service on the stump, having canvassed the whole of the 12th Senatorial District, with marked ability as the Union nominee for State Senator. Col. Smith desires to make his home, in the future, in Washington Territory, where his aged mother and a brother now reside, and being limited in finances, desires a Federal appointment as a means of introduction to the new Territory. He thinks the office of Collector of Customs at Port Townsend, though paying but <hr /> a small salary, would be desirable Believing it to be in your power greatly to assist the Colonel, and regarding him as entirely worthy of the distinction, we most respectfully solicit your kind offices in his behalf. By so doing you will place your neighbors and friends, the subscribers, under renewed obligations, who beg to be regarded as your most respectfully. Edward P. Kirby. M. P. Ayers John T. Cassell A.

Sigmund, U.S. Vols., Medical Executive Officer, endorsed by Dr. Jas. C. Whitehill, Surgeon U.S. Vols, in Charge of Post, who had the kindness to most favorably recommending my case to you. I renewed my application on the 19th ult, and had the duplicate of the same most favorably endorsed by the Surgeons above mentioned, also by Caps. [Sponable?], Inspector-Gen'l prisoners; but Lieut. Col. Skinner, Commissary of prisoners, being still absent, the original Rolls of applicants for Oath have not been forwarded, as yet, to Washington, and consequently I was not permitted to forward to you the above mentioned duplicate. Should Col. Skinner arrive and forward the Orig'l Rolls before your departure, I will sent the duplicate also. But having at different times made applications, I presume you will have no difficulty in obtaining my release. Please Sir, do all you can for me. I anticipate the most favorable results from your personal intercession. May God crown your efforts with success is the prayer of Your most grateful servant George Hoffman To Francis A Hoffman Lt.
