Chester. Ill. Sept. 6. 1861. Dear Governor: I have had an interview with Mr. Morrison, and he frankly stated, a very considerable proportion of the men he could raise for the proposed regiment would not be willing to enlist with the prospect of having Judge Niles at the head of it; that he himself had some pride for the first place, and did not think Judge Niles would consent to take the second, nor would he (Morrison) feel comfortable as Colonel with the Judge in a subbordinate position; that he liked Niles as a man and believed he would make a brave and efficient officer, &c. &c. I therefore considered it impolitic to attempt any further negotiation with a view of bringing Niles and Morrison to work together. Neither Morrison or Niles can object to my course, and I am very sure the Judge will not have any just cause to complain of your Excellency for the position you have assumed in the premises. Morrison seems to be very favorable to my holding a commission in his regiment and expressed his entire confidence in my ability, and in the certainty of our agreement. <hr /> He also assures me the democrats of his region, and acquaintance, would be well satisfied with me as an officer. I found Morrison fully alive to a sense of the important duty he has assumed, and I believe he is posse'd of sufficient military knowledge and a will to enable him to acquit himself with credit and contribute much assistance to the Government. The prospect is very flattering for an early completion of the regiment. Morrison expressed much good feeling for your Excellency (spoke of the kind manner in which you treated him) and said he did not doubt of being able to agree with you in regard to the other appointments for the regiment. He wished me to say to you, however, he will be greatly obliged to you if you will not come to any definite conclusion in regard to the other officers to be assigned to it until he can have another interview with you in regard to the matter; and he hopes to see your Excellency the first part of next week. His suggestions will then be respectfully submitted. In the meantime we shall both be engaged in pushing on the work in hand. With much esteem, yours &c Thos.

Peoria Sept 6 1861 To His Excellency Richard Yates Dear Sir My partner in business Mr Jonathan Hancock who will hand you this, goes to Springfield to see you in relation to an application he desires to make for a situation as Quartermaster of a Brigade, with the rank of Major. You will probably remember me, as among the unfortunate applicants for office under our friend Mr Lincoln. I thank you sincerely for your kind recommendation and I only regret that Mr Lincoln did not appreciate the services I was vain enough to imagine I had rendered the party - but so be it. Disappointment has only made me a more faithful <hr /> and enthusiastic supporter of our Cause under the firm conviction that merit will find its reward sooner or later. I profess to have some little claim on your confidence from the fact that I was one of a few here who advocated your nomination at Decatur in spite of the influence of a certain paper and its friends in favor of Judd. Now I have been an active politician for many years and it is the first time in my life I have desired any other position in the ranks than that of 'high private'. Judge then my disappointment when I discovered that Mr Lincoln refused to honor my application to be appointed Agent for the Sioux Indians. I have come to the conclusion that politics are mighty uncertain - but to the subject of my letter. Mr Hancock has always <hr /> been a hard working Republican and is eminently worthy of your confidence. Any service you can render him in the matter of his application will be very gratefully remembered by your friends here. He will accept this or any other office that would remunerate him for his services. I have assured him that in my opinion, with the recommendation of Judge Kellogg which he will show you, he will have no difficulty in secure your influence and cordial cooperation in relation to his position whatever it may be. I hope his visit to Springfield will not prove a failure. If you have any appointments to make in this portion of the State remember "I still live " Very truly your friend Thos Y.

I have come to the conclusion that politics are mighty uncertain - but to the subject of my letter. Mr Hancock has always <hr /> been a hard working Republican and is eminently worthy of your confidence. Any service you can render him in the matter of his application will be very gratefully remembered by your friends here. He will accept this or any other office that would remunerate him for his services. I have assured him that in my opinion, with the recommendation of Judge Kellogg which he will show you, he will have no difficulty in secure your influence and cordial cooperation in relation to his position whatever it may be. I hope his visit to Springfield will not prove a failure. If you have any appointments to make in this portion of the State remember "I still live " Very truly your friend Thos Y.
