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.

With Joseph H. Tucker 11/11/62 (Copy) Head Quarters Illinois Troops Camp Douglas Nov 12 1862 In the latter part of the summer of 1861 His Excellency Governor Yates appointed me to the command of the Northern District of the state of Illinois, with instructions to establish a Camp of instruction and ren- devous for Volunteers at Chicago and to construct barracks for their accomodation. Under this order I immediately located "Camp Douglas" and commenced the construction of barracks. I continued in command of the Camp until the last of the troops were ordered to the field in February 1862, and during which time the present barracks were all constructed under my direction. Whilst the barracks were being constructed, the U. S. Mustering and Disbursing Officer at Chicago, Captain John Christopher <hr /> agreed to assume the payment of the Contracts for construc- tion and did pay them. I think, however, there may be a few thousands of dollars of bills in connection with the con- struction which were paid by the State and have not been paid by Captain Christopher. The Camp covers an area of from 60 to 70 acres of ground as exhibited upon maps of survey forwarded to the Adjutant General of the Army, to the Surgeon General and to Col. W. Hoffman Comm'g Gen'l of Prisons. Upon these maps occurs a proposed line of sewerage, which, beginning in the North East corner of the grounds, where the Hydrants are placed, passes through the Camp finding outlet into Lake Michigan. This, with the existing surface drainage would keep the grounds dry at all times, and the constant flow of fresh water from the Hydrants through the sewer, would, carrying away all offal, banish miasma. Knowing the influence sewerage would have upon the sanitary condition of the Camp I urgently urged its adoption. <hr /> The Estimate for the improvements which was about $7000. was also forwarded to Colonel Hoffman. In the month of February 1862 and im- mediately after the battle of Fort Donelson I received an order from Maj. General Halleck Commanding the department of the Mississippi, also an order from Colonel Scott Ass't Sec'y of War who was then in St. Louis, through the Adjutant General of the state of Illinois to prepare the Camp for the reception of Prisoners of War which was immediately done. Soon after between 8 & 9 thousand Prisoners were received into the Camp and placed in barracks. I remained in command at this time about a fortnight and was then ordered to turn over the command to Col. Mulligan 23rd Regt Ill Vols. (who had been ordered to re-organize his Regiment) and report at Springfield. In the early part of June 1862 several three months Regiments were called for from <hr /> 4.) this state, two of which were for garrison duty at this Camp in charge of Prisoners of War and I was placed in command of the 69th Reg't Ill. Vols. (one of the two Reg't's referred to), and directed to assume command of the Camp, in which position I continued until relieved by Brig. Gen'l. Tyler on the 30th day of September last on the arrival of the paroled troops from Harper's Ferry. The barracks as constructed by me were intended to accomodate about 8 thousand troops, with mess halls and quarters complete for Field and Staff and Company Officers, also stables for about 2 thousand horses, and, including hospitals, quarter masters' & commissaries' stores &c. During their occupancy by the Prisoners of War, however, some of the stables were converted into hospitals and temporary barracks for Prisoners and considerable additions made to the fencing about Camp. <hr /> With Joseph Tucker 11/11/62 [Nov.12, 1862] (5 At the time of the last call for 600 thousand Volunteers by the President and before the Prisoners of War had been sent off for exchange, quarters were much needed here for Illinois Volunteers and Governor Yates directed the Mustering Officer at this place to construct barracks for their accomodation. I had, however, about that time received an intimation from Colonel Hoffman, Comm'g Gen'l of Prisons, that the prisoners would probably be shortly exchanged, and so telegraphed the Governor - who countermanded the order for construction of new barracks and in the mean time I quartered the Volunteers outside of Camp in tents and temporary barracks. Immediately after the prisoners were sent off for exchange, I received an order to have the Barracks renovated and put in order for Illinois Volunteers, which was being done and rapidly approaching completion when the paroled troops from Harper's Ferry arrived. <hr /> On the arrival of the first detachment of the paroled troops, which was without notice to me, and before I was aware that Brig. Gen'l Tyler was in command of them, or that he was coming to Camp Douglas, I telegraphed to the Secretary of War to the effect - that there were not barracks sufficient to quarter them together with the troops I already had in the Camp, to which I received the following reply, viz. Washington Sepr 29th 1862 Jos. H. Tucker Col. Comdg Camp Douglas. You will make requisition on the Quarter Master at Chicago for what supplies may be needed for the paroled troops, just arrived, if he cannot furnish tents you will erect sheds and temporary barracks and report to Genl. Halleck. E. M. Stanton Sec'y War <hr /> Upon receipt of this dispatch I secured the Fair grounds just west of the Camp, for use as temporary quarters for a part of the paroled troops a day or two after which Brig. General Tyler arrived and assumed general Command.

Washington DC Nov. 14th 1862 To His Excellency Gov. Richard Yates Dear Sir The accompanying letter from Co Ths G. Allen to yourself, I brought from Springfield to this City, and hoped to have delived it in person. The letter speaks for itself and plainly indicates the Col's wishes. At the time the letter was written, I did not expect to have come to Washington, but after full consulation with our officers it was thought best for me to come on to consult with your Honor, and render such service as I might be able in Securing the promotion of the Col to a Brigadiership. I am now forced to return to my Regt. As you did not arrive, and believing you would fully concur in this movement, I yesterday presented the President with letters from Senator Trumbull and others, strongly urging the promotion of the Col - Sec Seward who is a warm personal friend of Col Allen, also assured me that he would see the President on this matter. Here the matter now stands. To you who know him well, I need not speak of his past services in our State nor need I say that from his entelligence <hr /> from his great decision and energy of character - from his ardent devotion to our cause - from his coolness and gallant bearing, under the most trying circustances at the late battle of Perryville, he will serve his county well in that capacity - If any favors are to be granted, If any more Brig. Gens are to be given to Ills. (and Egypt has had but one I think Gen Logan) I greatly hope the Col of the 80th Ills will receve the promotion of which he has shown himself so worthy Col Allen is modest. He never yet has asked a favor from this Administration. If any thing is done for him it must be done by this friends, not by himself. With Great Respect I remain your obt Servt E. N.
