Office of the American Arms Company 498 Broadway, New York, April 16 1863 Governor, I notice by the papers of to day that you have issued orders "under the authority of the War Department to raise a force of soldiers for the guard & protection of the State of Illinois from hostile aggression." On the 3rd of August 1862, you addressed a letter to the Sec'y of War in which you say, "I respectfully ask that two of the "Union Repeating Guns" be furnished to each of the Regiments now forming in this state. I believe they will add greatly to the efficiency of our troops"---which letter was handed to me by Maj [Rowlands?] The American Arms Company, whom I represent, made about 60 of these guns on the special order of the President of the United States, a part of which I personally delivered to the "Army of the Potomac" at Yorktown & the White House, & several of them were used with great effect & advantage at Williamsburg, Warwick, Gaines Mills & other <hr /> battle fields, as I have the written testimony of Major Genl. Sickles, Col. Van Wyck 56th Reg NY Vol. & other officers of high rank & intelligence to prove---& a part I delivered to the Arsenal at Washington. Shortly after receiving your letter to the Secy of War (which is now before me) I called at the War Dept. in Washgtn & not being able to see the Sec'y I handed your letter to Mr. Watson Asst. Secr, together with a letter of the same purport from Gov.

Genl'. Wool, Fremont, & Sickles---Col.
