Post Office Cairo Ill Sept. 9-1862 Dear Gov 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. <hr /> 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. I hope the future may be as prosperous as we desire to the arms of our Union I am truly your friend D.S. Linegar Hon Richard Yates Gov State of Ill <hr /> Private D. T. Linegar, P. M. Cairo, Dec 9.

County Clerks Office Knoxville Sept 10th 1862 His Excellency Gov. Richard Yates Springfield Ills 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. 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 <hr /> 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. 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 John S. Winter 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 <hr /> Knox County John S.
