I called the Capts of Companies together for consultation, concluded to invite English to accept the proposition of Surgeon they decided also an appology to me was necessary for his abusive language and his circular. have consulted with his friends he will not submit to it. say he must come in independant of me or any other officer of the Regiment. that we cannot submit to would place a man here acknowledging no authority over him, his friends desire a vote of all men in the Regiment, which I cannot tolerate. too many votes have been taken here now an appointment in my opinion would in all cases be the better way - I have proposed to let bygones be bygones - with English but it does not give satisfaction to him. he has abused me much, but for the good of the Regiment I am willing to lay aside prejudice. I must protest against his appointment -- fully believing that his presence in the Regiment would tend to insubordination which I wish to avoid. And I respectfully request you to appoint a man from some other part of the state, and I feel fully convinced you will appoint a good one Dr Roberts of Winchester has been recommended. I know nothing about him. he refers to [Indy Morer?]. are you- <hr />acquainted with him. I do not reccommend him for I know nothing about it. please do the best you can for us we rely upon you, If English will place himself upon the right footing, with the Reg all will be right Dr [Curcell?] advises me to the above course. he says he is disgusted with English, and the course he is pursuing. probably if you write him he will do what is right. but at present he is all wrong. I must command the Regt If I am the Colonel, but your friendship has been [illegible] upon so many occasions I cheerfully comply with what ever course you [illegible] Respectfully yours Charles H Fox Col 101st Regt I.V.I. <hr /> 101st Regt Charles H.

Which suggestion you see I have at once proceeded to put into execution, hopeing you would excuse my presumption & selfishness in thus intrudeing upon your valuable time I take great pleasure in returning you my most Sincere & heartfelt thanks for the great favor you did me in assisting me to attain my present position My Battery has done good service in the field and has even exceeded my most Sanguine expectations I took it onto the field of Shiloh almost entirely without Battery drill and held it under heavy fire most of the time during both days. <hr /> and held every position I took Though I was a stranger just arrived on the field the morning the battle commenced and not attached to any Division with no one to credit or praise us, Col Dubois Chief of Artilery on Hallecks staff told Capt Cogswell some time after the Battle that my Battery did more actual fighting & better Service than any other Battery on the field Taylors Battery received the credit in print for the Artilery duel which I fought about 3 PM Apr 6" with the 3d Lousiana Battery, but I can produce the affidavits of at least 100 com officers that it was my Battery & that Taylor's Battery did not fire a shot on that field after 11 AM the first day At about 4 1/2 P.M. Sunday I was in Battery directly to the right of and commanding the junction of the Hamburgh & Purdy roads when a 24 pdr four gun Battery came down on the Hamburgh road & took a position at the junction on our extreme left and a 6 pdr six gun Battery came in on the Purdy road and took a position at a left oblique from my Battery & both opened on me at easy canister range with shell & solid shot <hr /> I had no sooner received their cross fire than the three Regiments of Infantry who were supporting me fell back in disorder on our main line, with the exception of two companies of Indiana boys. Abot this time an Aid rode up who I did not know & ordered me to take my Battery off & save it if I could, but I paid no attention to him but answered the Rebel Batteries promptly with three guns each, double shoted with canister and in twenty five minutes entirely silenced the 6 pdr Battery & eventually two of the 24pdr howitzers About this time I saw the Rebels makeing a demonstration in my front when I immediately changed front forward on right piece & received a charge from two Regiments of Rebel infantry who came down on us in beautiful style at double quick with arms at a trail & I afterwards learned that these orders were to charge & take my Battery without fireing a shot, but I recd them with my full Battery double shoted with canister at about 300 years & soon made them about face, break ranks & skedaddle back into the timber I took off my Battery that night with two guns havin but two horses each & one gun by hand & saved <hr /> everything That night I worked all night getting my Battery in condition for the field, welding the Axletree of one of my guns which had been broken by a 6 pdr solid shot & had everythin in order, supplied with a new stock of amunition & was on my way out to the front at 9 AM. On the way out I met Col Adams who told me I might stay to the rear on account of the hard service I had done the previous day & the rough treatment I recd, but I prefered the front to the rear, and by so doing got into some as hot work as any of the previous day I believe my Battery was the only one actually in the fight all day both days. The second day I had two Caissons & three limbers shot all to pieces but took off all my guns & did not loose a piece We had a verry pretty & sharp little fight at Russells house while advanceing on Corinth for which I recd full credit in Shermans report & in the N.Y Tribune, my Battery being the only one engaged While congratulating myself for haveing so fine a battery & one which I have so much reason for being proud of I have not forgotten the obligations I am under to you for assisting me <hr /> [Sept 18 1862] in procureing its acceptance by our excelent Governor And while acknowledgeing my obligations to you for past favors I have to again ask your assistance To speak frankly & approach the subject at once, I am desirous of promotion You will of course exclaim what inprecidented selfishness, but to the charge of selfishness I will plead not guilty but will admit of being ambitious in military matters & claim that I have a right to be. My Father & Grandfather both fought their Countries Battles under the glorious old stars and stripes. I did not enter the service for pecunary motives as I could have made two or three times the money doing business & have actually paid out in raiseing my Battery & for its benefit since I was in the field as much as I have recd from Government I do not desire promotion any more on my own account than to satisfy my friends last who are anxious to have me get clear of the western service & come back to N.
