&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have the honor to inform you that it is represented by creditable citizens of this State that the lives of citizens of Lasalle and their property are threatened by an armed mob at that place rendering it in my opinion necessary to have a military force to prevent the execution of such threats.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The property of the Illinois Central Rail Road, in which the General Government have an interest, is also liable to be destroyed
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;at or near that place
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I therefore respectfully request that you dispatch to that place a military force of seventy-five men and two Commissioned officers, to render such aid to the Civil Authorities as may be necessary to protect the lives and property of Citizens there.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;S. V. R. Hickox Esq
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;       Wm Snyder was unfortunate in using the word refuses to publish speech - I requested him to write you that there was no disappointment - In fact you had given quite a full notice of the speech, quite as full as I had a right to expect - The Tribune has always been liberal to me in the way of publishing my speeches - and I hope naught will be set down in malice - I did
&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;not see Snyder's letter before he sent it or I should have worded differently - Though he (Snyder) meant only to convey my idea expressed to him - I am now sorry he wrote at all - I feel under very many obligations to Tribune Co - and ask pardon for telling Snyder to write at all ---   In haste
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;                                                 Truly Yours
&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;S. V. R. Hickox Esq
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;       Wm Snyder was unfortunate in using the word refuses to publish speech - I requested him to write you that there was no disappointment - In fact you had given quite a full notice of the speech, quite as full as I had a right to expect - The Tribune has always been liberal to me in the way of publishing my speeches - and I hope naught will be set down in malice - I did
&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;not see Snyder's letter before he sent it or I should have worded differently - Though he (Snyder) meant only to convey my idea expressed to him - I am now sorry he wrote at all - I feel under very many obligations to Tribune Co - and ask pardon for telling Snyder to write at all ---   In haste
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;                                                 Truly Yours
&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;                                                   Rich'd Yates
&lt;/pre&gt;
