&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I write to you for information and also to request the privilege of raising a Company of Volunteers for the War - How many more men are needed to fill our quota and how long a time will you allow me to raise a Company-?  If more men are needed and the fact is known it will be easy to raise another Company in this County - No knowing the full address of the Adjutant Genl I write to you hoping to receive an answer soon - I am practicing Law in Carrollton and can give you abundant references as 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt; to my character and abilities  If the time is too short for me to raise a Company I should be pleased to have some appointment where I can best serve my Country - I opposed your election but am happy now to coincide with you in your views and efforts to put down this atrocious rebellion - The Statement made by the Adjutant Gen has done mischief in this County so far as Volunteering is Concerned but if it is known that still more men are needed  the people are ready to turn out.  I have been using my best exertions to promote the cause and a thorough good feeling among the people and shall continue to do so  With much respect I remain Yours truly
&lt;p&gt;Henry C. Withers 
&lt;/p&gt;

                    <text>&lt;p&gt;Rolla, Missouri,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;August 21st 1864
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Colonel John M. Snyder
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir - I have thus far managed to get along first-rate, and have to thank you for the kind interest manifested in my behalf.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Rolla is a miserable hole, and I don't think the authorities could have planted us in a worse place, with, perhaps, the exception of that location where dealers in coal have no occasion to pursue their interesting vocation. The health of the Regiment has been very bad - we have lost several by disease. Newton and George Rutledge, however, are as hearty as a couple of bucks, and send their respects and regards to you.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The men of the 145th have been greatly disappointed in Colonel Lackey - in
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;what manner I leave you to surmise. You know that an humble subaltern would be very imprudent to criticise his Colonel too closely.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you see Mackenzie I wish you would tell him, for me, that this hundred day trip would have been a "bully trip" for him. He'd have learned something else besides making money.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One thing more, I want to bore you again by asking you as a special favor to request the Governor and Gen. Fuller to grant me permission to raise a company for special State service. I am confident I can raise a &lt;u&gt;full&lt;/u&gt; &lt;u&gt;one&lt;/u&gt;, composed of good men. I wish you would send me such written authority at your earliest convenience and I will go to work.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hoping that this will be my last
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;round in Missouri, I subscribe myself
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yours truly
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;J. M. Prior
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;P.S. Allow me to congratulate you on the new phase in your existence, and Newt requests me to ask "How much will you give for a substitute?"
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;J. M. P.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Prior J. M.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Rolla, Mo.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Augst 21st 1864
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Wants to know if he can get authority, to raise a company for Special State service.

&lt;p&gt;what manner I leave you to surmise. You know that an humble subaltern would be very imprudent to criticise his Colonel too closely.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you see Mackenzie I wish you would tell him, for me, that this hundred day trip would have been a "bully trip" for him. He'd have learned something else besides making money.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One thing more, I want to bore you again by asking you as a special favor to request the Governor and Gen. Fuller to grant me permission to raise a company for special State service. I am confident I can raise a &lt;u&gt;full&lt;/u&gt; &lt;u&gt;one&lt;/u&gt;, composed of good men. I wish you would send me such written authority at your earliest convenience and I will go to work.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hoping that this will be my last
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;round in Missouri, I subscribe myself
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yours truly
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;J. M. Prior
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;P.S. Allow me to congratulate you on the new phase in your existence, and Newt requests me to ask "How much will you give for a substitute?"
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;J. M. P.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Augst 21st 1864
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Wants to know if he can get authority, to raise a company for Special State service.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Being attached to the U.S. Gen. Hospital Mound City as Contract Surgeon my object in applying for a commission as Assistant Surgeon is that I may obtain a more honorable position as a Commissioned officer but still remain in the same Hospital, it is my idea that all Surgeons acting either on Regimental or Hospital Staff should hold a commission from the government.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yours respectfully

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Being attached to the U.S. Gen. Hospital Mound City as Contract Surgeon my object in applying for a commission as Assistant Surgeon is that I may obtain a more honorable position as a Commissioned officer but still remain in the same Hospital, it is my idea that all Surgeons acting either on Regimental or Hospital Staff should hold a commission from the government.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yours respectfully
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;R. W. Nelson M.D.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Dr R. W. Nelson
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;U S Genl Hospital
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mound City
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Aug 22/62
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Applys for a commission as Asst Surgeon in the above Hospital
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ansd. Sept 17
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Apply to Surgeon in charge
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This will be handed to you by Thomas Geddes who appears to be the choice of the new Regiment now being organized in this City for Colonel.

He has much experience as a military man - is capapable, honest, and worthy, and I hope he will be appointed

&lt;p&gt;These are Sons of my friends &amp;amp; I know them from infancy. You would promote them if you can.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;No excuse is needed to my gallant friend Yates that I appreciate merit &amp;amp; desire its promotion.  In my speeches I have pointed out Richd Yates as worthy in past times of promotion.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gov Yates.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Unsolicited, on behalf of two fine young men in ranks as privates – of Pike Regt I ask promotion for them
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Jas K. Worthington drops his College course at Cambridge &amp;amp; has gone in.  He is a superior boy – as Mathematician &amp;amp; draughtsman first in his class – 20 years of age equal to a Camanchi Indian on a horse, a gentleman &amp;amp; energetic 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;William E. Norris is 25 yrs age, equal to any thing in a Regt or on a Staff.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;These are Sons of my friends &amp;amp; I know them from infancy. You would promote them if you can.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;No excuse is needed to my gallant friend Yates that I appreciate merit &amp;amp; desire its promotion.  In my speeches I have pointed out Richd Yates as worthy in past times of promotion.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your course meets my highest commendation.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sincerely as Ever  
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yr friend 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Wm A. Grimshaw
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Wm A. Grimshaw
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Pittsfield Aug 22nd 62
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Recommend two Privates in Pikes Regt for promotion
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;James K Worthington &amp;amp; Wm E Norris.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Both young men of good education just from college, and worthy of your favor.  Refers to times when in his speeches he “pointed out Richard Yates as worthy of promotion.”

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hon Allen C Fuller
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Adj Gen State of Ills
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I desire to introduce to you Lt Patterson late Adj of the 2nd Batt of my Regiment mustered out by a recent order.  He is a young man of fine talents &amp;amp; one of the few I have met with who is competent to discharge properly the duties of Adj of a regiment.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I desire to introduce to you Lt Patterson late Adj of the 2nd Batt of my Regiment mustered out by a recent order.  He is a young man of fine talents &amp;amp; one of the few I have met with who is competent to discharge properly the duties of Adj of a regiment.  He would be an invaluable acquisition to any regiment.  Cant you take care of him in some way?
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;By doing so you would greatly oblige me. I know that letters of this sort are numerous and are often given as matters of course.  In &lt;u&gt;this&lt;/u&gt; case however I am in serious earnest and do not give this statement without knowledge.
