Shelbyville Ills July 30th 1863. To his Excellency, Richard Yates Gov of Ills Sir, I have learned through a letter that there is an intention to have certain prominent gentlemen in this State arrested, among whom are named Hon Anthony Thornton of this County. Now knowing the gentleman as I do and being an intimate acquaintance I would beg that you use your influence to stop the <hr /> proceeding as against him at least. he having to my certain knowledge for the last several months worked with all his influence to keep peace at home and keep down all disturbance---and for the people to obey all laws---and knowing too that in case he should be arrested and taken away that it would cause immediate and great disturbance and the people of this district are much attached to him and he wields a great influence---and they being easily excited would at once raise a disturbance which would not doubt take a great armed <hr /> force to quell. it is stated that he is a Commander in a secret military organization. This cannot be true for I know that he denounces secret military organization on all occasion. You know me well enough to know that I would not intercede for a man who is an enemy to his country's cause and not a true Union man Therefore let me beg that you use your influence in this case in Mr. Thornton's favor. It may be that the story is all a hoax about the intention to arrest him, but for fear there should be such a <hr /> thing done, I write this to prevent trouble.

It is now worth (as I verily believe) $1500.00 in Money. This is an honest statement of the value and condition of the property on which I offer the security. If you can use securities of this kind to aid you in this great work, please let me know at an early day, and I try and get others of the same kind for the same purpose. With sentiments of devotion to the cause of our bleeding country, I am your obedient Servant Greenberry Wright <hr /> P.S.
