Forgive us for trespassing on your time as you no doubt are greatly annoyed by many applications of this sort, but earnestly wishing to see your Excellency gain a multitude of friends, having at heart the good of the whole country anxious to have our regts headed by men whose courage and eminent ability will command the entire confidence of all parties, in Southern Illinois.
