Vols. be designated as recruiting Officer in Illinois for the First Corps. I have referred it to the Adjutant General of the United States Army, in connection with Mr. Smith's appointment as Colonel in the First Corps.

Adjutant Generals Office December 1" 1864 giving the date therein required. Still I do not know that it will be insisted upon. You would further oblige me by making a general application to the Secretary of War asking that the Officers over <hr />appointed for the First Corps from the State of Illinois be sent home to recruit. And without having any authority in the premises so to state, I believe that should you consider it an important matter and make application to the Secr. of War to have the enlistments for the First Corps in Your State perfected there, it would be promptly acceded to.

Daily Tribune Railroad, Commercial and General Printing Office. Chicago, Dec. 18th 1864 Dear Governor - Your favors of the 14th instant is received. I received a letter from Nash of Ottawa a day or two ago in which he says that "Yates Stocks" is above par in that section. He says that Bushnell and the three representatives will go for you first, last and all the time. I think we can count up men enough on our [illegible] ends to give you the nomination on the first ballot. Jo. Medill has gone to Washington to be about a month or six weeks and during his absence, Horace White runs the machine. I think there will be no further departure from the strict neutrality of policy. Mr. Medill assures me <hr /> 2 there should be none. I know he has been represented to join in the fight, but he refuses. He favors your claims to the position, I know. As to Bross, I have never heard how he does stand - but I think he is your friend. You know the peculiarities of his disposition as well as I do. He is eminently social and good natured and desires to please everybody, but I do not believe he can be made a tool of by the opposition, or by the friends of Logan, Palmer, Washburn or anybody else. Col Eastman is a fast friend of yours and is doing you good service. He feels entirely hopeful <hr /> Daily Tribune Railroad, Commercial and General Printing Office. (3) Chicago, ____________186 of a satisfactory termination to the canvass, as I think he has reason to feel. Who is Oglesby going to nominate for the office as his gift? I hear Col. Loomis married for Attorney General. Is he to be appointed? I shall be in Springfield about the 1st and shall hope to see you. Many thanks for your kind expressions towards me personally and your offers of service. I am still on the Tribune, but don't know when I shall get my walking papers. When I leave I shall hope to do better pecunarily. Yours very truly A. H. Bodman <hr /> Bodman A. H.
