With O. Waters 7/19/62 Bloomington July 19, 1862 Hon. Richard Yates, Gov. of Ill. Dear Sir I would like the office of Government tax collector for this district. I think Capt. Shannon spoke to you on Thursday night in reference to my fitness for the office. I am forty seven years of age, was brought up a farmer in the state of N Y. Taught school several years then engaged in the drug and medicine trade. By steady application to business I accumulated property to the value of about thirty thousand dollars. I have a trustworthy foreman who can manage all my present interests, having me at liberty to devote my whole attention to the office I solicit. I have had dealings nearly all over the state and my extensive acquaintance in other counties would assist me <hr /> greatly in making subdivision appointments. I have never before offered myself for office and never accepted an office of profit to the value of once cent. I have formerly had to look after too many mixed private interests and I want no office unless the public want me. I enclose a line from a few of our citizens whom I thought you would likely be acquainted with. I find Tho. Bunn of this place had been around with a paper before me and got many important names. Bunn is a young man, has failed in trade once and has not recovered so as to pay his debts. The citizens did not recommend his ability to give security and say he has no chance for the office. I learn he & Peter Fulsom are going to Washington to solicit the two offices of Col. and assessor. If after considering my fitness for the office you will recommend my appointment to this office or other valuable home position you will confer a great favor on <hr /> me and I hope on the Public. If you can not, you will not incur my disfavor for I know you will act conscientiously in the matter for the public good. If you recommend my appointment it may be wise to send on the enclosed certificate. I have long desired the passage of the confiscation bill and anticipated favourable results whenever it can be enforced. I was a Democrat until 1854 and was one of the first sixteen who inaugurated the Republican party in Bloomington. I feel assured its principles will yet triumph.

During the Civil War the school relocated to Chicago's Lincoln Park neighborhood. In 1859 Chicago entrepreneur and Presbyterian layman Cyrus H. McCormick and his wife, Nettie Fowler McCormick, became the seminary's major financial patrons. The relationship between the McCormick family and the school remained well into the twentieth century. Shortly after McCormick’s death in 1884, the school was renamed McCormick Theological Seminary. Several campus buildings are named for McCormick family members including McCormick Hall, Fowler Hall, and Virginia Library. After Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s assassination in 1968, seminary faculty and students were active in the civil rights movement and provided assistance to displaced and injured participants. The seminary relocated to Chicago's Hyde Park neighborhood in 1975. The photographs in this collection include portraits of the McCormick Theological Seminary Class of 1896, school professors, and campus buildings. Still Image A static visual representation.

Sir: Captain Dudley C. Smith of Co. B. 14th Reg. Ill Volunteers, who has served with distinction and to general acceptance, with this Regiment from its organization up to the present time, would gratefully receive the position of Colonel in one of the new Regiments now forming in Illinois. It is but an act of simple justice to Captain Smith to say that, as a disciplinarian and tactician, he has few equals, and no superiors, in this or any other Volunteer Retirement now in the field. He is a man of unblemished character and his energy and perseverance would win laurels for himself and reflect honor upon our noble Sucker State. With his knowledge of and experience in the service and his habits of industry, he could not fail of success. On the memorable battlefield of Shiloh, April 6th. Capt. Smith was at his post of duty in the Regiment until 11 o'clock, when he was borne from the field very severely wounded. He was cool, brave and self possessed, and, to the last, by word and example, encouraged his men to deeds of rare heroism. Very Respectfully Your obedient Servant, Cyrus Hall Col Commandg 14th Regt Ills Vol Infty. The Above is fully concurred in and endorsed. James C.
