&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gov Yates,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Last night I secured the enclosed recommendation from Corinth Mississippi with the request that I should lay it before you.  Capt. Miles D Murphy of Co H. 50th Regt Ill Volunteers has resigned on account of bad health, and of course a vacancy will now be created in that Company
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I suppose the Lieutenants will both be promoted, and if so I think the wishes of a majority of the Company might properly be consulted in filling 2d Lieutenancy.  A majority of nearly two thirds of Company have signed this recommendation including both Lieutenants.  I am satisfied McNeil would make a good officer and hope he may have an appointment
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am Respectfully
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yours &amp;amp;c  A A Glenn
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mt Sterling
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sept 10/62
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Is satisfied that McNeil would make a good officer &amp;amp; give entire satisfaction to the members of "Co H" 50th Regt.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir, 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Since the receipt of your dispatch approving of the meeting of the Governors, events have crowded in &amp;amp; around Washington &amp;amp; changes have been made among the military commanders to such an extent, that I waited until now to answer your dispatch. Events now transpiring or about to take place in the field, may do away with the necessity or desirability of such a meeting.  But whenever you deem it advisable that the meeting be held, please determine upon the place &amp;amp; time &amp;amp; I will go there.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In as much as the large Union Meeting in Chicago recommended the meeting, it seems proper that the call should proceed from you.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Very respectfully 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;yours 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Edward Salomon.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;His Excellency,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gov. Yates:
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This will be handed you by my friend, Bryant Bartlett, Esq. of this place.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I wish to serve my Country in some manner, better than I am now doing.  Can you put me in some place where I will be enabled to do it?
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I will not trouble you with a long request.  Mr B. will tell you what I can do.  I will only add, that honors and emoluments are not what I want, but to be serviceable, at moderate compensation.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I can also refer you to Col. John G. Fonda at Camp Butler.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Very truly,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thomas Gregg. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Oct 9
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thos Gregg 88
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hamilton
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sept 10/62
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Wants a position

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;His Excellency,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gov. Yates:
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This will be handed you by my friend, Bryant Bartlett, Esq. of this place.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I wish to serve my Country in some manner, better than I am now doing.  Can you put me in some place where I will be enabled to do it?
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I will not trouble you with a long request.  Mr B. will tell you what I can do.  I will only add, that honors and emoluments are not what I want, but to be serviceable, at moderate compensation.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I can also refer you to Col. John G. Fonda at Camp Butler.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Very truly,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thomas Gregg. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Oct 9
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thos Gregg 88

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sept 10/62
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Wants a position

                    <text>&lt;p&gt;County Clerks Office
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Knoxville Sept 10th 1862
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;His Excellency
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gov. Richard Yates
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Springfield Ills
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir - Your notice dated Sept 4th, postmarked 6th inst, notifying me that I have been appointed enrolling officer of Knox County, rec'd yesterday Evening. You request me to answer whether I shall accept.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In reply I would say that as County Clerk I have caused to be printed the rolls of this County, returned by assessors, by Townships; and now have these rolls corrected by the supervisors and other competent persons, so that my rolls now Embrace the name of Every Man in the County liable To Military duty; which is all that our State law contemplated. The 3d order from the war department contemplates the addition of the age and occupation of Each man, which I presume to be for the purpose of identification, these items I have not got, Except where two or more men of the same name reside in the same town, where I have the occupation as a means of identification. I have also
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;of each volunteer enlisted since the commencement of the war, with the date of enlistment, name of company, no. of Regiment, and his present condition if still in the service; if discharged, when and for what cause; if dead, when and where he died, so far as the same can be obtained; together with full rolls of all companies in which Knox County men have volunteered under the late calls (except a few who went to Chicago). Now if from this information I can get up such militia rolls as will be satisfactory (and I know they would embrace more fully the names of the militia, as well as furnish other matter which could only be obtained as I have done, through the offices of each school district) I will accept the position and can furnish the rolls complete in a very short time. But if it is absolutely necessary that the age and occupation should be given, my  duties as County Clerk would prevent my giving the necessary time and attention thereto.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have already some towns revised, and find that there was great necessity therefor, for instance, Cedar returned 159 names, I now have 307. Galesburg returned 727, I now have 1111, after striking off persons on original rolls who proved to be over age. In lists of volunteers I have the names of 158 from Indian Point 161 from Cedar and other towns in proportion. Asking to be excused for the length of this letter, as I wished my position understood, I remain Yours
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;John S. Winter
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;PS  Whether the appointment is confirmed or not - I shall complete my rolls for County purposes; but should like a reply to this as early as possible
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Knox County
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;John S. Miller
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Knoxville Sept 10-62
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Says he has full &amp;amp; perfect lists of all men liable to duty from assessors conforming to order 99 with the exception that the age is not specified thereon. Will accept the office of Enrolling Officer, if these lists will be accepted, if not, his time will not permit. -
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;too late appointment
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;already made
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Will you see that an open field is left for the sucession in our regiment. I believe there is but one voice among the eight companies here for Lieut Col and that is in favor of myself but there will be many aspirants for the majority and so far as I know all good men  I do not know of an aspirant who would not make a good Colonel but a fair field should be open  The Governor is so much pressed with business that too much authority in the matter may devolve on subordinate officers.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Please pardon an old friend that has been working with you for the last twenty years and was the first to urge you to your present position.  The deplorable condition of our Country is such as to cause the heart of Every patriot to bleed. To propose some means of amelioration is the cause of my troubling you now
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We have had officers and soldiers paid and clothed by the government and kept in good comfortable quarters until they have become to think, that all they have to do is to live off the Government, at whatever rate and cost they please. Will not go to the defense of their Country unless they can have office and position.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now what I want you to do is to let us clothe and Equip ourselves.  The whole people, Elect our own officers, and all men, and officers, share alike, receive no pay but something to Eat. Give us your aid and countenance so far, that we will not be styled Guerilla, then give us a Carte Blanche to chase out the cursed rebellion whether aided by Speculators or Jeff Davis
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Very Respy
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your old friend
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;James L Hill

                    <text>&lt;p&gt;Post Office Cairo Ill
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sept. 9-1862
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Gov
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yours of late date was duly received. I will come to Springfield at the opening of the Legislature if it is so that I can leave but how that will be I can not tell. The business of the P.O. requires my personal attention and I can scarcely be absent from the office one hour but some hound will report me for negligence of business.  If you visit Cairo any time soon let me know when you are coming a few days before and will arrange  so that we have a meeting of some our leading friends at the St Charles Hotel. I like the way things are working in the east.  I am glad Halleck is exposing opperations in the Campaign of the rationing. I am not sure but his object is a personal one but it will be for the good of the Country to have those opperations exposed.  McClellan is a deaf President, and  Halleck cant win.  Popes letter is the entering wedg that will open the way to make Banks Commander in Chief. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am in hopes the President will learn that he can best rely on those friends with whom he has eaten a peck of salt.  The men who will close this war sucessfuly are men whose hearts are in the work regardless of West Point.  McClean and his friend have been watching the Whitehouse with a more jealous eye than they have Richmond The result is they have lost both. I think the Miss. will soon be open. Something that ought to have been long since.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I hope the future may be as prosperous as we desire to the arms of our Union
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am truly your friend
