Sir To you as Governor of the State of Illinois (among whose sons we feel proud to be numbered) the officers and Soldiers of the 48” Ills Vol Infy desire to commit for future custody and Preservation the flag they have hitherto borne. The many privations, Hardships and perils endured whilst serving beneath its folds in behalf and for the unity of the Government it represents has endeared it and rendered it to us a sacred relic. As such we entrust it to the keeping of the State, whose honor has been in part entrusted to our keeping. You will find inscribed upon it the names of Ft. Henry Ft Donaldson Shiloh and Corinth at each of which places it was borne by our regiment It has always been unfurled where duty and honor required and never trailed before the enemy nor [illegible] a retreat and although many of our brave comrades who followed it have fallen and sacrificed themselves for the Government and Constitution (Dear and Hallowed to us as the priceless heritage of our fathers) of which it is the emblem. Yet they fell only in the midst of victory on fields rendered forever memorable and Glorious by the triumph of their Comrades in arms. And to aid in which their lives were freely Given. At the same time that we thus commit our “old flag” to you as the official representative of the State we desire to testify to you personally our appreciation of Your Constant efforts for, and sympathies with the Soldiers You have aided to send into the army of the union. And our confidence without distinction of party in your patriotism and devotion to the Government and Constitution <hr /> we are trying to preserve. We feel the utmost assurance that whilst the Soldiers of Illinois are maintaining the Glory of her name, and the heritage of her people in the field You no less earnestly and devotedly are striving to the same end at home We have the honor to be with Great Respect truly & faithfully Yours I N Haynie Col 48th Ills vol Infy Asher Goslin Surgeon 48th Ill.

Private! Woodwild near Upper Alton November 3. 1862 Governor Yates Dear Sir Your Excellency was kind enough to notice, under your own hand, the reception of my letter of the 13 ult. I most sincerely thank you for every word of your most eloquent and flattering reply - In conformity with your request I will endeavor to prepare my future letters with a view to their publication. These lines, however, relating as they do matters of a private nature, you will do me the favor to destroy, after you have taken the trouble to read them. The election of tomorrow being, in my judgment, one of the most intense importance to our state, and, perhaps, to the Nation, I have deemed it my duty to be at home for a few days, and do all that I can in securing the success of our Union Ticket. That Ticket, so far as our county is concerned, does not consist of the best material - having as I think too much of the old Locofoco element in it - nevertheless we intend to carry it if possible - I am extremely anxious to have our next Legislature so constituted, as to give us without any uncertainty about it, a tried, reliable, unflinching Republican U.S. Senator in place of our present wavering gentleman from Adams. The Locofoco, Tory-Golden Circle wing of the democracy in these parts are in extacies over the elections of Indiana and Ohio, and every man of them is industriously engaged in drumming up their forces for the coming contest, and every possible means will be used by them to carry their point tomorrow over <hr /> I sometimes fear that the Almighty is about giving us over to anarchy and confusion, as a punishment for our sins. Slavery is doubtless the sum of all iniquity, but there are lesser sins, thousands of them, of a character sufficiently odious to call down upon us the frowns of a just and merciful God. and I cannot concieve of a more to be dreaded evil, as likely to be inflicted upon us by His chastising hand, than would be the triumph of the corrupt and corrupting democratic party. From which terrible plague may His good Spirit deliver us by inspiring all our voters to cast their ballots for freedom and human improvement! I am induced by another reason, of a more delicate and private character, than the foregoing, to address you at this time - For some days past, I have been canvassing in my own mind the propriety of making the suggestion to you, which I am now about to make - In the first place however, I must say to you that, were I not satisfied that I am actuated in doing so by the most laudable and unexceptionable motives, not a single word would be uttered or written by me, that would in the least indicate my wishes in the matter. On recieving your kind favor of the 14 ult and noticing the title "Col," which you had prefixed to my address, it occurred to me, that were I a holder of a commission, confering upon me that honor, it would be of great advantage to me in the prosecution of my agency - strengthen my hands in the work, give me a standing among and under Military men, more accessible to me, and very largely increase my influence and usefulness, in the sphere in which I have been called to act. <hr /> I propose this, for no other reasons whatever, than those already specified and would expect, (nor receive,) no emolument in consequence unless called to actual service in camp - but to such a call I should ever consider myself liable, and would always be ready to obey it. I may say here, that I am not totally ignorant of military science, having held the Office, many years ago, of 1st Lieut. of an Atillery Co in the State of Delaware, and in my younger days, cherished a passion for military parades. That I am not in camp now, at the head of a Regiment, is not owing to the want of a desire on my part to be in the field beating back, or crushing to the earth, the traitorous hordes of villians and thieves who are trying to lay their murderous hands upon all that we hold dear, but to the condition of my affairs and my family at the time of the first outbreak of the war. Pardon me, Sir, for saying so much upon this subject. I do not, and would not urge upon you a compliance with my suggestion. There may exist insuperable objections, that do not occur to me, but which are well known to your excellency. If so I would not on any account have you take one step in my behalf that would in the least embarras you. Hoping and praying that in the course of a few days we may be able to sing - inspired by the results of tomorrow's contests, "Glory to God in the highest! In Illinois Republican principles have triumphed!! I am with every sentiment of Esteem and Respect, Your very Obedient Servant Jno. R Woods <hr /> John R. Woods Woodwild Nov 3rd 62.

Camp Cairo Nov 2d 1862 To his Excellency Gov Yates Springfield Ills Respected Sir Presuming that the Intent formerly taken in the 101st Morgan County Regiment was unabated I have heretofore taken the liberty to address you and inform you our situation, together with incidents connected therewith, and I again take the same liberty. I wrote you a few days since concerning Lt Col Wyatt. since his departure so suddenly to parts unknown to me I have not heard from him. The Provost Marshall informs me that testimony has accumulated upon him. and in the event the charge first made upon him should not be sustained (which in my Judgment is almost impossible) the matter of leaving his post without permission would cause his discharge from the army inevitable, hence we may reasonably infer that the Regt is minus a Lt Colonel and when the Regular forms are complied with, one will be compelled to be Commissioned and from the Army Rules and Regulations promotions follow in Line "to suit" Major. if no [illegible] succeeds to Lt Colonel and a Captain to the office of Major if agreeable to you and consistent with your Rule I desire you will allow me to suggest the proper person to fill vacancies. I have attended personally to the Regiment and I am more thoroughly informed in reference to the capacities of individuals for office than any other person <hr />in or out of the Regiment. I would suggest Major Newman for the Lt Colonel. and Capt. John Lightfoot for the office of Major. and in making those suggestions I honestly and conscientiously believe that the efficiency and discipline of the Regiment would be promoted. my Command is now under good discipline and progressing rapidly in the Drill and will soon compare favorably with any Regiment in the field. I enlisted in the cause for the good of my country and I every day feel more the importance of sound good Loyal True Patriotic officers. I can heartily endorse the above Named to fill all requirements, hence when appointments are made I much desire that good men will be promoted Agreeable to your suggestion I wrote to the War Department concerning my arms. and received a prompt reply for Genl Ripley Chief of Ordnance. and immediately an Inspector visited our camp and condemed the Guns hence I infer we will be speedily rearmed, with good Guns and if we can be placed under the command of Major John A. McClernand we will be well situated. I wrote you sometime since concerning the appointment of William T. Sutterell to the office of 2d Lieut in Company H. to fill the office in place of Lieut Shelly Wright deceased. an election in the Company was held and the result of it forwarded to your office. and I suppose the matter has been mislaid please have it attended to as speedily as possible and Sir although I have written at great length I hope you will excuse me. but I take the liberty knowing <hr />the great [intent?] you have manifested in our Regiment and from so doing permit me to say that the Regiment are endeared to you by a tie that will not be easily broken. and although lying Democratic politicians may endeavor to make political capital by asserting that the army are opposed to the Presidents Emancipation Proclamation yet I assert that my Regiment endorse it to a man and the further we progress into the field the more determined are we to [use?] any endeavor [or power?] to suppress this infernal Rebellion and I have the sentiment of the Regiment when I say that almost the entire vote of the Command would be cast for Ingersoll on Tuesday next if we were permitted. we are not the Richardson [illegible] Vallandingham Democrats. and if the Lord spare our lives to get back we will show them if we are the miserable [illegible] they represents us to be. but I must stop and ask your pardon. for so long a Letter. hope you will excuse me with Great Respect Charles H. Fox <hr />101st Regt. Col. Chas. H. Fox. Cairo Nov. 2nd. The case of the Lt. Col. (Wyatt) again -- will undoubtedly be thrown out. recommends Maj. Newman for Lt. Col. & Capt. Lightfoot for Major -- If the regt. had a vote would all be for Ingersoll -- are for the proclamation to a man. & War democrats Moses File carefully (Private) Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
