Alton July 26 1865 Gov. Yates Sir:---- Your letter enquiring after Mrs Samuel McBurrows is before me. I find her here in the circumstances she represents in her letter to you----(here with return.) She is both worthy and capable: and it is one of those cases which will justify an especial action. I will join in the request that you, if possible, obtain a place for her. She will go to Clinton, Dewitt Co. Ills in a few days. Should you succeed in her behalf, you can address me here or her as above care Thos. [Kirker?] Governor, there is a matter that the "boys" of the 144th Ills Regt. desire you to look after. This Regt's time was not quite out, not by about two months. It has been so managed that they were mustered out and paid only $66.00 bounty instead of $100.00. We know of no good reason for this; the St. Louis Gov't officers cannot tell. Robt. Smith of Alton, a Paymaster, does not believe it is just. These boys are from every part of Madison [Jersey?] and (illegible) Counties, and they feel this injustice VERY SHARPLY. I cannot think the Gov't sanctions it, or would do so if the case was represented; and if a fraud it should be exposed. I am requested to present you with a statement of the facts in their case to the end that justice may be [regarded?] them. Will you give them your attention in this matter? <pre> _____ </pre> If so, I will make a short detailed statement for your use. Truly Your friend H. G.

She is both worthy and capable: and it is one of those cases which will justify an especial action. I will join in the request that you, if possible, obtain a place for her. She will go to Clinton, Dewitt Co. Ills in a few days. Should you succeed in her behalf, you can address me here or her as above care Thos. [Kirker?] Governor, there is a matter that the "boys" of the 144th Ills Regt. desire you to look after. This Regt's time was not quite out, not by about two months. It has been so managed that they were mustered out and paid only $66.00 bounty instead of $100.00. We know of no good reason for this; the St. Louis Gov't officers cannot tell. Robt. Smith of Alton, a Paymaster, does not believe it is just. These boys are from every part of Madison [Jersey?] and (illegible) Counties, and they feel this injustice VERY SHARPLY. I cannot think the Gov't sanctions it, or would do so if the case was represented; and if a fraud it should be exposed. I am requested to present you with a statement of the facts in their case to the end that justice may be [regarded?] them. Will you give them your attention in this matter? <pre> _____ </pre> If so, I will make a short detailed statement for your use. Truly Your friend H. G.

Aurora July 25, 1865 Hon. Rich. Yates Sir: Sec. 14, of the new Post Office Law, reads thus: - "that the (illegible) advertisement for the proposals to carry the mails of the United States shall be published hereafter for a period of six weeks, in one or more, but not to exceed five Newspapers, printed in the State or Territory where the mail service is to be performed, one of which shall be printed at the seat of government of Such State or Territory." This advertisement will be worth about six or eight-Hundred dollars, and I think the Postmaster General has the disposal of the advertisement and assignment of newspapers in which it appears. Of course not less than five papers will be used for Illinois. Springfield Journal will be one of course, leaving four papers in other portions of the State. The "Aurora Beacon" is published at Aurora, Illinois. How did you like the appearance and general make-up of the thousand or more of men and women, boys and girls, in attendance upon our Fourth of July Ball, in our new $80,000 Town Hall! Seriously, we should have been glad to have seen you on that occasion, but it was a little too much for us to expect you to ride twenty-four miles after the fatigues of such a very hot day, and were not much disappointed in your not coming. We had a splendid time here and "[Dead Souls?]" of people. Could not see you at Elgin for I got mixed up in our own celebration, contrary to my desires, and could not get away. Was in Chicago the next day, and designed to have seen you - did call, but you were out - and afterwards got mixed up with some pretty women and went with them to a little banquet - up at Evanston - therefore I did not see you. I send you [Seward's?] oration. Our Committee printed 3,000 for circulation <hr /> among the people. What has become of yours? Would like to print it in my paper if there is no objection on your part; or at least a portion. I hope that you fetched that Elgin community on you "side to stay and for keeps." for heretofore they have not been on your side much.

Private Chicago July 21, 1865. My dear Governor: Dana arrived here last night. I saw him today and found him all right in the main question. He told Uncle that my letters were the only things in the paper that had any common sense and an appreciation of the state of the country. He told Uncle that he wanted me here and I have agreed to stay. I will probably be his factotum. He is in favor of amending the constitution, giving all who can read and write, white or black a right to vote. If I remain, which is all but certain, I can do you good here. Dana agrees with all my news and says that my letters greatly interested him. He says if I will write editorials, like my letters it is all he wants. I thought it would do me good if you were to write him a letter, setting me up, as you know him, and letting him know much good I did the [cause?] and the party during the last five years. I find he had read all my letters and that he and I agree perfectly. There is no [illegible] doubt but <hr /> that the paper will be all right for you, and I can do all that I hoped to do for you in it. With kind regards to Mrs. Yates and family, Your attached friend, Jos. K.C. Forest Hon. Richard Yates Jacksonville P.S. I wish you could drop me a line here on any subject you would like touched on, especially relative to late hostilities, or in fact any thing of interest to the people generally. F.

Private Chicago July 21, 1865. My dear Governor: Dana arrived here last night. I saw him today and found him all right in the main question. He told Uncle that my letters were the only things in the paper that had any common sense and an appreciation of the state of the country. He told Uncle that he wanted me here and I have agreed to stay. I will probably be his factotum. He is in favor of amending the constitution, giving all who can read and write, white or black a right to vote. If I remain, which is all but certain, I can do you good here. Dana agrees with all my news and says that my letters greatly interested him. He says if I will write editorials, like my letters it is all he wants. I thought it would do me good if you were to write him a letter, setting me up, as you know him, and letting him know much good I did the [cause?] and the party during the last five years. I find he had read all my letters and that he and I agree perfectly. There is no [illegible] doubt but <hr /> that the paper will be all right for you, and I can do all that I hoped to do for you in it. With kind regards to Mrs. Yates and family, Your attached friend, Jos. K.C. Forest Hon. Richard Yates Jacksonville P.S. I wish you could drop me a line here on any subject you would like touched on, especially relative to late hostilities, or in fact any thing of interest to the people generally. F.
