Washington D.C. Jany 14. 1861. My dear Sir: To you I need make no apology for failing, so long, to reply to your letter of 10th ultimo. You were here in comparatively, peaceful times; you can, therefore, judge of the draft upon my time now. I accept all you say as true in regard to your friend Jno. C. Grierson Esq, and tho’ I do not remember to have met him, I need no other assurance of his worth than what you have said. I now know of no reason why I cannot co-operate with you in the matter; but you know it is not always best, in matters of this kind to say we will or we will not. Disclaiming all sympathy with the mere politician, I, nevertheless, feel and recognize all the embarrassments which, in matters of this kind, sometimes rest on men. As <hr /> you will be here before March, I will defer any further observations, in regard to the matter, until I see you. But will we have a Country by that time? What has the Future in store for us within the next few months? These are questions which “return to plague us.” To you I may be frank. If the Republicans will do almost any thing (and much may be done without being inconsistent with themselves) we may yet hold the central states. Seward came well to the rescue on Saturday, but action is needed now. The Legislatures of Virginia and Tennessee are in session - convened at the instance of the Precipitators – and the Revolutionists are at work. Almost throughout the South, misrepresentation of the purposes of the Republican party has <hr /> been the principal staple of Disunion and Democratic speeches for the past year. Misrepresentation of the [grosest?] character. Few men in the south have met these falsehoods, and the localities in which your motives are understood are few. ‘Tis too late to say, they are fools to believe your revilers. I know they are fools, and the fact that they are so, makes the matter so much worse. It’s too late to discuss dogmas. Even secession is lost in the fact of Revolution. The Country ought to be saved – it must be saved. A wise policy on the part of the Republican members of Congress – some sort of action, to give the Union men of the south a chance to connect these misrepresentations will yet save the Central States. I trust they will yet do that which they admit to be right. If they will promptly do only this, we may yet roll back the tide <hr /> of disunion and Treason. Were none but Traitors involved, I should feel no concern for their fate; but the innocent and ignorant are to be confounded with the guilty, and civilization and progress must be retarded for a century. Disunion dies the day that the people of the South are restored to Reason – and those who have thus misled their followers will be hung upon the gallows of public execration. I remember with pleasure our association in the 33d Congress when, together, we resisted the measure which produced the present fearful condition of affairs. Our worst apprehensions, at the time, are now fearful realities. I have no self-reproach. I have faithfully done my duty, and if ruin must come, in advance I wash my hands of the shame and crime which will attend the enemies of public liberty. You were worthy of the compliment so recently bestowed by the people of your state, and I wish for them and yourself prosperity and happiness. truly yours, Em: Etheridge Hon.

So far <hr /> as the Peoria Representative to the Legislature is concerned we think you may rely on him.

Stark which joins us in electing two representatives will name one and we can do nothing but advise and influence him after his Election We prefer communcating with you direct rather than through a third party, for we dont care to have any man say that he can influence us to do that which others cannot, and which has not the Sanction of our judgment We are, Respectfully, Your Obt Servants Emery & Andrews <hr /> Emery & Andrews, Peoria Ills, Aug 16th 1864 Write in refference to the Transcript supporting the Governor for U.S. Senator.

My little daughter which is almost twelve year old. She listened to this cruel talk, till it <hr /> seemed that her heart would brake in pieces at the thoughts of being torn from her dear mother. With bitter anguish she came to me; to relate her sad story; she was so overcome with grief mingled with fear; All she could say was placing her delicate arms around my neck; eyes filled with tears; and with great emotion that would melt a mountain of stone; saying mother would to God; that I had died before I had seen such troubles as this. I want God to kill me: O!Mother I want to die! Mother I want to tell you; but I cant; I am afraid too. with such expressions ringing her with bitter anguish at the same time; After Mrs Weeds and my own persuasion to <hr /> relate the sad story to us. Trying to choke down her tears; She said: those cruel folks are setting Pa! against you telling him storys on you; and making all sorts of fun of you; and saying nothing was to bad for you; and grandpas telling him to get bill from you telling him he he was a fool for ever living with you again, saying he would help him if he would do so and urging him on; My feeling better imaging than described.

Title A name given to the resource Jannotta Family Collection Subject The topic of the resource Janotta, Stella Skiff, 1867-1954 Janotta, Alfredo A. (Alfredo Antonio), 1843-1913 Janotta, A. Vernon, 1894-1972 Description An account of the resource The Janotta Family Collection contains photographs relating to conductor/composer Alfredo Jannotta, his wife, activist and author Stella Skiff Jannotta, and their family. Several photographs belonged to their son, Navy Rear Admiral A. Vernon Jannotta. Alfredo Jannotta immigrated from Italy by way of London to Boston in 1865 where he taught voice at the New England Conservatory of Music. He married his first wife, Alice Prudy and they had a son, Edward, before Alfredo moved to Cincinnati in 1868. Alfredo spent 12 years in Cincinnati teaching vocal performance as well as conducting the Cincinnati Choral Society and organizing the first Cincinnati orchestra. He moved back to Boston in 1881 but moved to St. Paul, Minnesota, in 1882 and finally to Chicago in 1888 where he established himself as a vocal teacher. While teaching in Chicago, Jannotta taught vocal lessons to Stella Skiff whom he married in 1893. Skiff was the daughter of Iowa businessman Vernon William Skiff and his wife, Mary Frances Coffin. Her brother, Frank Vernon Skiff founded the Jewel Tea Company which later grew into a national grocery store chain including Jewel, Osco, Eisner, and White Hen. Skiff continued her singing career after marrying Jannotta and briefly taught lessons. Between 1894 and 1898, she gave birth to sons A. Vernon, Francis, and Joseph. Between 1917 and 1918, Stella adopted three foster daughters, Margaret, Marion, and Betty (Elizabeth). In the early 20th century she began taking an active interest in causes including the suffrage movement and socialism. Stella Jannotta joined the Chicago Political Equality League (predecessor to the Chicago League of Women Voters) in 1907. She wrote for the propaganda arm of the organization, including a 1916 article entitled "Public Opinion" which she revisted several times over the following decades. A. Vernon Jannotta, the oldest son on Alfredo and Stella, served in the United States Navy in both World War I and World War II. He rose through the ranks of the Navy and the Naval Reserves, eventually retiring as a Rear Admiral in 1954. Jannotta received several military honors including the Navy Cross, Silver Star, two Bronze Stars, and a Purple Heart.  Jannotta began working at the Jewel Tea Company in 1919 and held several positions at the company for the next 50 years. He also held several executive positions or held stakes in several companies including Lehman Brothers, Motor Institute of America, Tapp, Inc. and Consolidated Trading Corporation.
