Phila August 2 1865 Hon Richard Yates Dear Sir Your letter of July 22nd is rec'd and is not [late?] for my purpose. I arrived in the city too late to secure a suitable house or to accomplish anything of importance for the fall session- I hope to be all settled by the February term. I cannot sufficiently thank you for your correspondence to my request for the use of your honored name; I think I appreciate the full value of your generous offer-Twas almost a assumption for a stranger to make such a request of you, 'twas noble and generous of you to grant it. When I sent my letter to you I felt that you would be justified in refusing but for some reason which I cannot explain I believed you would gratify me. I think to expect this kindness was to be in keeping with my [conception?] ---- of the character of our noble Ex Governor; a conception formed from the record of his public life and services, a record everywhere marked by words and deeds of benevolent kindness, and which has endeared him to the hearts of Illinoisans no less than his scholarly statesmanship. His kind letter did not disappoint me, and I felt a thrill of gratification that I has not miscalculated the strength of the feeling which you have always shown for Ills officers & men, their misses and children. The words of justice which you give for any precious Husband, I have read over and over again. They shall be [illegible] into the treasury, the portion of my heart which I reserve for all such tribute to the dear dead hero whose love & memory are enshrined there,-For the great blackness which the war has cast about me, there is little else that has given cheering and comforting light as words of praise for my husband.In my earliest knowledge of him I beheld what is in him, which when grown and strengthened makes men honored & great. ---- In our married life of nearly eight most happy years, which his great generous heart to me all [unveiled?], so full of earnest life purpose, so eager on the fulfilment of his life's watchword "onward", so fearless and brave-so like a gentle woman in his kindness I have felt, for the world to know him as I know him, would make him what he truly was, " A man among men". And was the sweet incense of praise which come circling around his name from the lips of gifted and honored friends, meets from my heart a warm, quick response, for I know him well hero worthily it is bestowed and then goes out from my heart a blessing upon those who recognize the virtues of him whose name I am so [illegible] to hear, Your candid endorsement of my husband and your disinterested efforts for him were always a matter of pride and gratification to my Husband, and not less so to his wife. It will certainly be agreeable and a sincere pleasure to me to see Gov Yates ----when he visits Phila if he can find time from his numerous friends here. I will be in at 281 North 12th st until I become established in my Seminary. When that occurs I may trouble you with my circulars. If I have trespassed too long upon your valuable time, I may please plead "not guilty"Your [illegible] kindness having called forth this lengthy intercession.

The arrangement will commence on Friday next, the 11th inst. Let the Wabash agent who gets to the Line on Thursday return to Lafayette that evening on the express train, and start east from there the next morning; and you will please request the agent on the Great Western, who will leave Quincy Thursday evening, to run to Lafayette Friday morning. The order is for the Western agents to run from Quincy to Lafayette, and for the Eastern agents to run from Toledo to Lafayette. You will please notify me by letter, directed to Indianapolis, as soon as you shall have perfected the arrangement. Until recently, I believe the Gr. Western agents divided at Springfield. That was changed, I learn, by direction of Spl. Agent Bell, <hr /> of Chicago, and is, I think, the proper arrangement; but if the agents think otherwise, they can present their views in a letter to Bell or me, giving the reasons for desiring to divide at Springfield instead of running to Lafayette. They can arrange with Judge Bell to run two off and two on; provided the agents who are resting will always be in telegraphic communication so as to supply deficiencies in case of accidents. I will now give my consent to their resting two at a time on the conditions above mentioned. Report to me as soon as you confer with the agents. Very Respectfully, James N. Tyner Special Agt. P.O.

I came however very near having my life "crushed out" last winter being run over and trodden upon by a horse whose sharp front shoe struck my face tearing off the whole upper [illegible] nose [and?] breaking the nose palate and roof of my mouth so that I can never resume the duties of a pastor although I have preached three times a Sabbath since I was hurt and two of those times to regiments in the open air. Having been injured while in the Service of the Re.S, I am [advised?] by all my friends that I have a claim to the Consideration of the Govt. -- under the joint Resolution of the late Congress to employ such persons in preference to others. It is therefore my desire to go to Washington and make application for Employment either as regular Chaplain (the duties of which office I can still perform) or some other office which may present remunerative prospect as my family is still dependent upon my labor for their subsistence. As you Sir was kind enough to use your influence in obtaining my appointment as chaplain cannot you still exert that influence in promoting my present design and to doing [illegible] a lasting favor and [illegible]me under great obligations of gratitude one who accscribes himself in [illegible] Sincere Esteem your obt Servant W.F.

Tuscola Aug 11th 65 Dear Sir, Your kind favor enclosing your very admirable and great speech at Elgin on the 4th of July was duly received. Please accept my thanks for the favor. As you suggest I will have some extracts published from it - It was received too late for this week's issue but I will be in the next one. I had received a letter from Hon H.P.H Bromwell concerning a position under "Uncle Samuel" in his letter he had informed me with references to the assessorship of this Dist. Last Spring (some time before I came home or had made any application to him) he made an application to have Smith of Champaign appointed in place of [Reeves?]. He wrote me a long letter giving me a history of affairs in the Dist and reitterated his desire and intention to assist me. He feels himself (so he says) under obligation to me and will cheerfully assist me all in his power. He says (which is most probably <hr /> true) that I will be doubtful whether he can do anything until Congress meets but that he will before and then and until we succeed. Keeps his eyes open whenever he sees anything that will suit me at home in Washington City or in one of the Territories he will do all in his power to obtain me the appointment. I have told him I thought you would render your assistance and he says he will heartily co-opperate with you. The is no money to be made out of my [position?] with the Paper and my practice will be my sole reference. I think I can secure some party influence by editing the "Union" and perhaps will be able to render some service to my friends. My practice will make me a living, but little more. I think I will [jog?] along until the meeting of Congress and will then move as you advise. I think Governor of I held an influential position I might be able to serve your interests also in the future. Your Friend J. E. Callaway Hon Rich Yates <hr /> J. E.

He resided at Brighton, near Alton, entered the service in /61 as a private I think, was severely wounded at Shilo, so that he is now and permanently, partially disabled. He rose unaided to the rank of first assistant surgeon and acted for nearly two years as Brigade surgeon with the [pay?] only of 1st assistant Regt. surgeon. He is of good moral character, and an energetic and accurate business man and would in my judgment fill the place to which he aspires well. I received and distributed some copies of your speech.
