Since being here I am led to believe there is a probability of my obtaining an appointment from Washington and desire that a sufficient amount of influence may be exerted, in addition to that already tendered, to render the object secure. A Governors influence is always valuable and yours I presume is particularly so, on account of the intimate social and political relations you hold with the President. <hr /> I therefor will consider it a special favor if you will write a brief letter to the President on the subject and enclose it in one to me, to go forward with other documents which may be sent. If, in the great multitude of your acquaintance, my name as been forgotten, I may remind you of several interviews last winter at the Ex. Mansions, during which you kindly tendered your good offices on my behalf, in the event of a position being vacant in your gift, which could be filled without serious prejudice to those already in the service.

(Copy) Head Quarters 12" Regt. Iowa Vols. Pittsburg Tenn. April 24. 1862 To the Surgeon of any Hospital to whom this may be presented. Dear Sir The bearer of this, Dr. J. C. H. Hobbs of the 12th Iowa Infty, has been with our Regt since and before it was mustered into service. During the whole time he has been faithfully at his post, ever active in the discharge of his duty, exposed to toils and exposures till he is almost worn out. It is impossible to get a sick furlough here for any one, as it is against the positive orders of the Commanding general. In consideration of these facts we would respectfully and earnestly ask, that you grant him a sick furlough immediately to go to his house in Illinois. Very Respectfully &c. Lieut. D. B. Henderson Acting Adjutant, John G. Fowler Capt. Comdg 12" Iowa Infty Status The current transcription status of a document or a page.

Chicago April 21. 1862. Hon Richard Yates Governor Dear Sir, I have been making an effort on behalf of a young man, Charles H. Machin, of Taylor's Battery with the view of getting for him a commission in the Regular Army, but I am informed by correspondence between Mr Arnold & the Sec of War that promotion from volunteer service cannot be made to the regular service, but "promotion in the service should be made only in the respective branch" and no transfers can be made. Machin was in the battle of Belmont & Donelson & was wounded at the latter place, & were it not for the "absolute rule" he would have a commission in the Regular Service. I forwarded to Mr Arnold letters from Capt. Taylor & some of our best Citizens in behalf of Machin, which seemed to be satisfactory & sufficient, for the purpose but of coures the rule stood in the way. I wish to ask you if there would be any prospect for his promotion in the volunteer service of Illinois provided I can <hr /> satisfy you as I did Mr Arnold & Mr Stanton that he was worthy! He is a lawyer by profession, was wounded at Donelsen at the close of the engagement on Saturday, after having marched from Fort Henry & stood by his gun all through the battle. He also behaved well at Belmont. He sought a Lieutenancy in the Regular Army & prefers the Artillery service. He was partially promised a position on Gen Quimby's staff before the Genl left Rochester; but that appointment is uncertain I am not advised what your practice is in regard to promotions.

Chicago April 26th/62 His Excellency Govr Yates - My dear Sir - I recently wrote a letter of censure to you, with heart-felt sincerity, (the only way that Jo. Knox ever writes a letter) but since I wrote it, I have known more & better of you. I'll tell you how I acquired my knowledge. I have just recd a letter from my more than "well beloved son" George, of Capt. Silversparre's Battery at Pittsburg Landing, in which he speaks of your kind & condescending notice of him on that bloody battle field & invitation to call in the eve'g at your quarters. For that, Governor, my heart gushes its warmest thanks. I may copy our Saviours language & say to you, "whosoever doeth it to me of the least of these (my babies) doeth it unto me". Yates, <hr /> let by gones, be by gones. "Let the dead bury their dead". Talk enough about the past - but Governor, may you live forever for your kind notice of my good boy, so far from home. And when you die, (& may not that occur 'till after I have gone) may George & I & all our family be able to say of you that tho' Gov. Yates has left us - gone - yet he has not fallen - for swinging out into an infiinty under orbit, he has circled up to Heaven's Eternal throne, where now, all temporal & material "Stars are but the shining dust of his divine abode, The pavement of those Heavenly Courts, where he shall reign with God".
