&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;John Moses Esqr
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;[Secty?] &amp;amp; ADC
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir:
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your favor of 19th August is just to hand; and I hasten to reply on two accounts 1st the letter you speak of as having been sent to me from the Govr has not yet come to hand &amp;amp; this is now the 23d
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2d It was myself that desired a place on Sigel, Fremont or C. M. Clay's staff if they or either of them should be assigned to a command: my desire is to be with an energetic live fighting Genl who comprehends the magnitude of the struggle &amp;amp; fears not to take such means &amp;amp; measures as will adequately meet every emergency
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;and so for ever remove the producing cause of Rebellion &amp;amp; have a Union that shall be permanent &amp;amp; ever enduring
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In answering this &amp;amp; all others I wish you would do so under cover to Wm C. Bostwick Esq. as perhaps under such shelter my letters may not be so long delayed &amp;amp; some never arrive at their proper destinations 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;hoping to receive the Govs letter soon I remain very Truly yours &amp;amp; his friend 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Allan Tomlin
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ansd Sept 2.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Allan Tomlin
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Galena Aug 27

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;John Moses Esqr
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;[Secty?] &amp;amp; ADC
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir:
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your favor of 19th August is just to hand; and I hasten to reply on two accounts 1st the letter you speak of as having been sent to me from the Govr has not yet come to hand &amp;amp; this is now the 23d
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2d It was myself that desired a place on Sigel, Fremont or C. M. Clay's staff if they or either of them should be assigned to a command: my desire is to be with an energetic live fighting Genl who comprehends the magnitude of the struggle &amp;amp; fears not to take such means &amp;amp; measures as will adequately meet every emergency
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;and so for ever remove the producing cause of Rebellion &amp;amp; have a Union that shall be permanent &amp;amp; ever enduring
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In answering this &amp;amp; all others I wish you would do so under cover to Wm C. Bostwick Esq. as perhaps under such shelter my letters may not be so long delayed &amp;amp; some never arrive at their proper destinations 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;hoping to receive the Govs letter soon I remain very Truly yours &amp;amp; his friend 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Allan Tomlin
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ansd Sept 2.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Allan Tomlin
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Galena Aug 27
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ansd

Ill Vol Co F last fall I have a large family of small Children I had paid thirty nine hundred &amp;amp; sixty five dollars on a hotel in this place and a Bank firm held my notes for three hundred &amp;amp; sixty one more one come due for $61.00 while I was in the South he told
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;me he would take no advantage of it as they were secured by Deed of Trust and as soon as my Back was turned and the first 61 dollar note come due he sold on ten days notice on the Whole for bid the Tenant to pay my Family any rent and I had not Recd any pay from
Goverment and I did not get the notice until after he had bid it off and it has left me Destitute of any thing &amp;amp; My Family on a point of starving and I lay at Corinth with the Rheumatis my son Wounded at Pittsburg Landing I got my Discharge and come

&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;it hurt the cause verry mutch of enlisting here for I know of a number that would enlist but they was afraid of sutch hitches there was about 150 soldiers the other knight here wanted to tear down his Bank I prevailed on them not do it I believe in being a law abiding Citizen no more but remain

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I take great pleasure in introducing to your favorable consideration Lt Patterson late Adj of the 2nd Batt of my regiment.  By recent order he has been mustered out of service.  He has been with me for several months &amp;amp; has shown himself to be far the best Adjutant I have had under my command.  In a new Regiment his services would be invaluable.  If he can receive an appointment I would feel greatly obliged.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I take great pleasure in introducing to your favorable consideration Lt Patterson late Adj of the 2nd Batt of my regiment.  By recent order he has been mustered out of service.
