I will work faithfully in any position that may be assigned me and trust the <hr /> application I now make may not be in vain. With money I could have aided in raising a regiment, and secured a position, but this I did not have. May I not hope for a favorable response at an early day. I have the honor to be Very Respectfully Your Obt Sevt Geo. W. Gillett <hr /> Ansd Sept 20 / 62 Geo W. Gillett Chicago Aug 16. 62 Referring to a letter from Hon I. N.

Wilmeth <hr /> Executive Department Springfield, Ills., Augt 14, 1862. Dear Sir: Your application for a position in an Illinois regiment has been carefully considered by Governor Yates, and placed on file for future reference. The pressure of business, and accumulation of papers in the Executive office is so great at this time, that the Governor himself, is unable to answer each correspondent. I am therefore requested to state: In regard to appointments in the regiments already organized, that he will be governed by General Order No. 43, herewith enclosed. In respect to companies and regiments now being formed, General Order No. 61, War Department, Series 1861, as well as sound policy, forbids the mustering in of officers until the respective organizations have the requisite number of recruits. Then appointments will be made, upon consultation with officers and men, from among those who have spent their time and money in bringing the men into camp. The fairness of this rule will be apparent to all. In appointing Surgeons, Assistant Surgeons, Quartermasters, and Adjutants, after a regiment is organized, the recommendation of the Colonel will be required and considered. Chaplains are selected by the Regimental Commander upon the vote of the commissioned officers. Your patriotic and active co=operation in this hour of our country's peril, is earnestly solicited. J.W.
