Aug 4th 1862 My Dear Governor i read yesterday in the Chicago Tribune your most excellent speech delivered in that city a few evenings since upon the crisis in which the rebellion has placed us. I subscribe to every word you uttered, every man in power and every loyal man out of power must act upon the principles doctrines & measures laid down in that speech <hr />or our national existence will linger and [tremble?] in the fearful issue upon us for years to come and if they are not acted upon I dare not trust myself on paper to say what I think the end will be. I am going to leave for Washington the latter part of the week and I shall not fail to inject into the ears of all our officials whom I may have opportunity of seeing the sentiments put forth in your able address- <hr />If you have any thing for me to do for you at Washington write me care of Willards Hotel where I shall be probably until 13th (after this week) after that at 54 [Price?] St New York for a few days. I have leave of absence for 60 days from 1st Augt to go to Europe for my family but the crisis looks too fearful to justify the absence at the present moment of any loyal man from the country. I now think I shall go to Washington <hr />about friday - do every thing I can there to give force to your views with the powers that be - I shall do the same in high quarters in New York. make arrangements for my family to get home best I can -- and then return promptly to my post - for no man of us must draw back falter or waver - until this rebellion is destroyed root and branch - we must subjugate - desolate - destroy, until loyalty is found among the dwellers of the rebellious states. If the whites persist in their rebellion and adhere to the goings-out that they never will acknowledge again the sway of the federal government over them, then they must be driven from the land by force, for the nation must live. and if the blacks prove loyal as our columns advance into the rebellious country, let them have not only their freedom, but the country to inhabit cultivate under whatever restrictions and protections may be found necessary the great want with us now is loyalty. and until we get enough for the assurance that our nationality is safe we need not be particular, about the color. God bless you as ever your faithful friend W K Strong To his Excelly Richard Yates Gov of Ill Springfield Ill <hr /> Brig. Genl Wm K Strong Cairo Aug. 4 - 62 Complimentary to Gov.
