                    <text>&lt;p&gt;To His Excellency Richard Yates.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Govr. of Ills.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sir,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Subscribers hereto have just learned that 13 new Regt's. of Ills. Vols. are to be raised as soon as practicable. Also: that your Excellency has reserved to yourself in your call the right to select and appoint the Field Officers. We suspect this reservation indicates a determination to select carefully and secure if possible both experience, and skill. In hopes that you will not consider it an obtrusion, and with an eye simply to the good of the service. We hereby recommend to your favorable notice Maj. F. W. Partridge of the 13th Ill. Infantry. He is a Graduate of the Norwich Military Academy was for two years Principal of the Harrisburg Military Institute under the Patronage of the State of Penna. and he has been for 14 months Major of the 13th Ills. He is a resolute,
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;reliable man, a good officer, and decidedly worthy of a larger field of influence. We cordially recommend him for a Colonelcy of one of the new Regiments.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A. B. Gorgas

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I heartily endorse the above recommendation. I know Major Partridge well, and know he can do his Country, his State and himself credit. with any Command he may be intrusted with
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;J. B. Wymore

&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Govr of Illinois
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Springfield Ills
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Governor,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am informed that the First Regiment of Illinois Cavalry has been mustered out of service.  I am therefore left a Lieut Colonel of Ills Vols without being attached to any Regiment and my pay may be stopped any day and I be thrown out of service.  This would be very unpleasant to me as I desire to remain in service and do what I can with other loyal men to maintain our National existence and crush out traitors and treason.  I also have a large family of sisters who are dependent upon me for support as well as a wife and my means being limited and business in civil life dull I feel that I need all that I can fairly and honestly make and at the same time I am very desirous of serving my country.  Gen Strong will leave here about the 1st of August on leave for 60 days.  He would have assisted me in procuring from the President the appointment of Additional Aide-de-Camp to some Maj Gen and had me assigned to duty on his staff but Congress has repealed the act authorizing the 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;the appointment of Additional Aides-de-Camp, therefore an application for an appointment as such would be in vain.  As you have been so very kind to me since I have been in service I feel a delicacy in addressing you at this time, feeling that perhaps I am trespassing upon your valuable time, and that my importunities will become to you a bore, but I cannot bear the idea of being laid upon the shelf at this stage of the game, and therefore very respectfully but earnestly request (if it be perfectly consistent with your view of justice and propriety) that I be assigned to one of the Regiments now being raised for three years service.  If this cannot be done will you have the kindness to write a letter recommending me for an appointment in the Regular Army and enclose it to me at this place.  General Strong will join in the recommendation and present the papers in person at Washington.  If you can grant me either of the above requests, I shall feel myself placed under renewed obligations to you and will earnestly strive to prove myself worthy your kind consideration.  Please let me hear from you at your earliest convenience.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have the honor to be 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Very Respectfully
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your ob'dt servt
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A. H. Holt Lt Col Ills Vols 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;amp; A.D.C. to Gen. Strong
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A. H. Holt Lt. Col. Ills Vols
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cairo  July 21, 62.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Is informed that the 1st Reg Cavalry is must'd out service.  Says he's "therefore left a Lt Col of Ills vols without being attached to any Reg't"  It will be very unpleasant to have his pay stopped &amp;amp;c.  Has large family of sisters to Support.  Wants to be assigned to one of new Regts. or recommendation from Gov. for apptmt in Regular Army.

                <text>&lt;p&gt;Head Quarters District of Cairo,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cairo, Ill. July 21st 1862.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To His Excellency
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Richd Yates
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Govr of Illinois
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Springfield Ills
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Governor,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am informed that the First Regiment of Illinois Cavalry has been mustered out of service.  I am therefore left a Lieut Colonel of Ills Vols without being attached to any Regiment and my pay may be stopped any day and I be thrown out of service.  This would be very unpleasant to me as I desire to remain in service and do what I can with other loyal men to maintain our National existence and crush out traitors and treason.  I also have a large family of sisters who are dependent upon me for support as well as a wife and my means being limited and business in civil life dull I feel that I need all that I can fairly and honestly make and at the same time I am very desirous of serving my country.  Gen Strong will leave here about the 1st of August on leave for 60 days.  He would have assisted me in procuring from the President the appointment of Additional Aide-de-Camp to some Maj Gen and had me assigned to duty on his staff but Congress has repealed the act authorizing the 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;the appointment of Additional Aides-de-Camp, therefore an application for an appointment as such would be in vain.  As you have been so very kind to me since I have been in service I feel a delicacy in addressing you at this time, feeling that perhaps I am trespassing upon your valuable time, and that my importunities will become to you a bore, but I cannot bear the idea of being laid upon the shelf at this stage of the game, and therefore very respectfully but earnestly request (if it be perfectly consistent with your view of justice and propriety) that I be assigned to one of the Regiments now being raised for three years service.  If this cannot be done will you have the kindness to write a letter recommending me for an appointment in the Regular Army and enclose it to me at this place.  General Strong will join in the recommendation and present the papers in person at Washington.  If you can grant me either of the above requests, I shall feel myself placed under renewed obligations to you and will earnestly strive to prove myself worthy your kind consideration.  Please let me hear from you at your earliest convenience.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have the honor to be 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Very Respectfully
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your ob'dt servt
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A. H. Holt Lt Col Ills Vols 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;amp; A.D.C. to Gen. Strong
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A. H. Holt Lt. Col. Ills Vols
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cairo  July 21, 62.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Is informed that the 1st Reg Cavalry is must'd out service.  Says he's "therefore left a Lt Col of Ills vols without being attached to any Reg't"  It will be very unpleasant to have his pay stopped &amp;amp;c.  Has large family of sisters to Support.  Wants to be assigned to one of new Regts. or recommendation from Gov. for apptmt in Regular Army.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Send copy ( )

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I wish to inquire of you as to the demand, or necessity for more surgeons in the Illinois regiments.  
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Who are at present the examining board? 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When will they again meet for the examination of candidates.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Are there more surgeons needed? and if so how many?
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your model letter to the president gives very general satisfaction in this portion of Egypt.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;By replying to the above you will very much oblige.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A large and enthusiastic war meeting was held in the Court House this Evening. Short and patriotic speeches were made by several home speakers. And the following resolutions were unanimously adopted. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Resolved, that we recommend to the Board of Supervisors of LaSalle Co. that they call a special meeting to consider the call of the government for more men, that said meeting be made public, and the public generally be invited to attend. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Resolved, that we request Gov. Yates to appropriate any sum of money he may see fit to those who volunteer, as a bounty.  And that we pledge ourselves to send members to the Legislature who will sustain his action. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Resolved that the Citizens of LaSalle Co. be invited to meet in mass meeting at Ottawa next Saturday at one oclock.
