Head Qu 1st Div. Dept. of Work Va Cumberland, Md June 1st, 1865 Hon Richard Yates, My dear Governor: <pre> Having served my country to the best of my ability through the rebellion just closed, and believing that I have done something toward maintaining the reputation of Illinoisans as good soldiers, and that I have proved myself not unworthy of the honors I have received from and through you, may I ask your influence to assist me retaining my present rank when a reorganization of the army shall take place. I have commanded a Division since the 15th of August last, through the successful battle of Jonesboro, Ga., the campaigns to Savannah, and thence to Goldsboro N.C. where sickness and self-respect compelled me to leave the Corps cammanded by Bvt Maj Gen Jeff C. Davis. From the battle of [Marquesboro?] it had been my mmisfortune to be placed under this officer, though I once (after [Chicarnanja?]) insisted on being removed from his command. But it was my fate to come under him again when Sherman had him assigned to the command of the [illegible] Corps. I don't wish to say anything more about him than is absolutely necessary, but I can prove that he has done the United States more harm than he could have done if he had held an equal command in the Rebel army. At the battle of [Newfreesboro?], when his Division was overpowered and driven back, while his troops were still under the fire of the enemy, he turned to me and said "Well, I guess the d-d abolitionists will be satisfied this time." I was so amazed that I could make no reply, but I felt compelled to mention the matter to Gen Rosecrans, which I did; but he didn't remove him from command. At [Abicamanga], he fled from the field, and was supposed to have been captured or killed, but was found three or four miles in rear of the field. I collected all of his Division after they had been counted, reorganized them, and reported to Sheridan, and marched with him to join Thomas. It was then I resolved not to serve under him any longer, and Gen Rosecrans complied with my wishes on reorganizing the army and placed me in another Division It was generally believed that Davis would not have received another command, but for the unfortunate circumstance that Rosecrans himself had left the field and gone to Chattanooga. The matter of his curring off the negroes from his column near Savannah was never fully set forth. It was a most inhuman proceeding and without excuse, and had the effect of enciting distrust among all the negroes of South Carolina. Yet, Sherman, to shield Davis, assumed the responsibility of the act, though he was not present and knew nothing of it at the time. This is the man who has stood in my way from near the beginning of this rebellion. If justice had been done me for services rendered even under him, I believe I should have been a Major General. If I should ever have an opportunity to reciprocate the favors I have received at your hands and through your influence, it will be the happiest moment of my life when I repay that debt of gratitude. </pre> Truly your friend, W.

Natches June 7th 1865 Hon Richard Yates Sir You will Excuse my negligence in not acknowledging the Rest of your very kind letter of introduction to Brig. Gnl Brogman last Sept. I have no Excuse to make Except that my time has been very much occupied. and allow me at this late date to congratulate you upon your Election to the United States Senate. I can assure you nothing could have given me more satisfaction than your Elevation to that dignified position. Now that this unholy Rebellion has been crushed out and the people of the North as well as of the South are anxiously looking forward for a restoration of civil law, the question [illegible] what shall be done? in my opinion the people of this State are not in a condition to set the wheels of civil Govt in motion. Should Govt allow them to do as they have done in Virginia, if it were a possible thing, the result would Even be more disastrous, for I can assure you Gov. after a residence of nearly two years in this state, I do not believe there is ---- one truly loyal man (an old resident) in the State. They are [Submissiontz ?] and are willing to be reconstructed provided they can do it themselves by Electing their own State offices.

Natches June 7th 1865 Hon Richard Yates Sir You will Excuse my negligence in not acknowledging the Rest of your very kind letter of introduction to Brig. Gnl Brogman last Sept. I have no Excuse to make Except that my time has been very much occupied. and allow me at this late date to congratulate you upon your Election to the United States Senate. I can assure you nothing could have given me more satisfaction than your Elevation to that dignified position. Now that this unholy Rebellion has been crushed out and the people of the North as well as of the South are anxiously looking forward for a restoration of civil law, the question [illegible] what shall be done? in my opinion the people of this State are not in a condition to set the wheels of civil Govt in motion. Should Govt allow them to do as they have done in Virginia, if it were a possible thing, the result would Even be more disastrous, for I can assure you Gov. after a residence of nearly two years in this state, I do not believe there is ---- one truly loyal man (an old resident) in the State. They are [Submissiontz ?] and are willing to be reconstructed provided they can do it themselves by Electing their own State offices. Should they have that privilige no Northern man could stay down here with comfort or safety to himself or family. The peoples want to be Educated in the principles and Science of a free State Govnmt.

He will I presume give you a letter to the President in my behalf if you think it necessary.

Shawnee Town June 14th, 1865. Hon R Yates. Dear Sir, I received your truly discouriging letter, but feel it a duty I owe myself and children to prosicute my claim. You tell me; perhaps Mr O H Browning would attend to it for me. You will please let me know where I may direct a letter to him, also when you made that aplication for me, I was not aware that any had been made except the one made by myself to the President. I do not think that Government, or the authorities of this State, intended to impoverish or breake me up when they took my place, but such has been the result, as I owned nothing but that place had nothing to live on but what was there, and it is now nearly four years since every thing I had was sacrifice or distroid, and been living upon expences <hr /> involving myself, till that home may pass from me forever.

Wells James L Anderson and myself together with two young men, Augustus Warren & my present partner Edgar Anderson have made application to the Secty of the Treasury for authority to start a National Bank at Rushville, to be called the first National Bank of Rushville. We have all the necessary papers in shape & on file at Washington but are baulked in this Illinois has for the present got her share of the privileges in that line, and by the law other States have until July 1st to take up their share if not then taken up. Ills. can come in for another slice. James L. Anderson went to Washington with the papers & filed them & offered to deposit our Bonds, but it was intimated to him that it would be of material advantage on July 1st to have your recommendation with Judge Trumbull & that Rushville in Schuyler County ought at least to have one Bank, that the amount of business <hr /> [June 16, 1865] done in our County demanded such an agency. Now as you personally know nearly all the men engaged in this enterprise we wish you to give us a letter to Secty McCullough to be used there on the first day of July embracing these points 1 that Rushville is the County-seat & center of business for the County. 2nd that the amount of money annually used in buying & packing Pork, & in the purchase & shipment of grain & other farm products & in manufacturing amounts to three or four hundred thousand dollars (Little & Roy annually use over 100,000 alone). 3rd that the business of the County demands the establishment of such a Fiscal Agency & 4th, The standing of the applicants for integrity, business capacity, & wealth, though this part is unnecessary as we have already ample testimonials on that point.
