Headquarters 14th Reg. Ill. Volunteers Near Memphis, Tenn. Aug. 9. 1862. His Excellency, Governor Yates - Sir: This is to bring to your favorable notice, for deserved promotion, 2nd Lieutenant Lauren W. Coe. Co II 14th Reg. Ill. Volunteers. He would desire the appointment of Major in some one of the Regiments now forming in Illinois. I have been acquainted with Lieut. Coe ever since our Regimental organization, and have always found him a gentlemanly, energetic and reliable officer. Having proven himself such, both in camp and on the battlefield I believe his appointment to the position above named will be alike just to himself as well as creditable to the 14th Regiment and to the Soldiery of our noble State. Throughout the battle of Shiloh, he was weighed but not found wanting in whatever goes toward making a good soldier and officer. Very Respectfully, Your obedient servant Cyrus Hall Col Comdg 14th Regt. Jonathan Morris Major 14 Regt. Ills [illegible] <hr /> 14th Regt.

Headquarters 14th Reg. Ill. Volunteers Near Memphis, Tenn. Aug. 9. 1862. His Excellency, Governor Yates - Sir: This is to bring to your favorable notice, for deserved promotion, 2nd Lieutenant Lauren W. Coe. Co II 14th Reg. Ill. Volunteers. He would desire the appointment of Major in some one of the Regiments now forming in Illinois. I have been acquainted with Lieut. Coe ever since our Regimental organization, and have always found him a gentlemanly, energetic and reliable officer. Having proven himself such, both in camp and on the battlefield I believe his appointment to the position above named will be alike just to himself as well as creditable to the 14th Regiment and to the Soldiery of our noble State. Throughout the battle of Shiloh, he was weighed but not found wanting in whatever goes toward making a good soldier and officer. Very Respectfully, Your obedient servant Cyrus Hall Col Comdg 14th Regt. Jonathan Morris Major 14 Regt. Ills [illegible] <hr /> 14th Regt. Cyrus Hall Memphis Aug 9/62 Recommending 2nd Lieut Lauren W Coe Co I 14th Regt. to be "Major" of one of the new Regts. Write W Coe recent rule.

Camp Near Corinth Mass Aug. 10th. 1862. Gov Yates Dear sir. Your favor came duly to hand for which I am under great obligations to you. I went to see the Quartermaster and the Paymaster at Corinth, but they were both gone. The Quartermasters office is in St. Louis. My friends think I had better get you to procure my discharge, and give me a position in some of the new regiments that are being formed in Illinois. Our Major advised me to write to you, and procure a position if it could be done. I have two reasons that prompt me to seek a position at this time. One is my circumstances require that I should hold a position that will pay me more <hr /> than a privates pay. The other is on account of a mercurial affection of the limbs. I do not believe I will be able to march and carry, knapsack, gun and other accoutrements a soldier has to carry again. I would accept of a Lieut. Cols. or Majors position, or a Lieutenancy, in some Company. I would not seek any position, if I thought I was not competent to fill it. Our regiment I understand has been changed to the 66th Illinois. If true, there will probably be some vacancies in it soon, but, if anything can be accomplished would rather not wait. Could send recommendations from here, but deem it unnecessary, as the one I sent you is sufficient. If it is not too late, would like a position in Col. [Gwinips?] regiment at Mattoon, as I am well acquainted with the Col. <hr /> I am still anxious to serve my country in some capacity until the rebellion is put down. I have been in the service one year lacking one month, was at the battle of Mount Zion, Fort Donelson, Shiloh, and in the advancement on Corinth. May age and experiences induces me to aspire for something better than the position I have been filling, not that I am above filling the place of private for I think it an honorable position. The above I submit for your worthy consideration. Very Respectfully Yours Gilead Shaw I belong to Co. E. W.S.S. 14th Mo. Vols. <hr /> 14th Mo. Vols.
