Douglas was elected to carry out the principles of "non Intervention by congress" for a certain time which has not expired and should be filled by a man who holds that principle until the time does expire.

Browning will make an Excellent Senator. If I do not interfere with my advice, in these matters, I beg you will not understand that it is on account of any want of interest in them. I think one's friendship may as <hr /> well be shown, in some cases, by letting a man alone, as in any other way. At the request of Dr Goodbreak, I wish to say a word about another matter. Dr G. has been appointed Surgeon of this Regement by Col Marsh, & Dr F. K. Baily Afst. Surgeon. As a matter of pride, and really of conscience now, for they have both been employed nearly from the beginning, they would like to retain their places. I suppose there is really no diffi culty in the matter. But they feel anxious. Dr G has pafsed his examination before the Committee. Dr B will be ready to do so on <hr /> his arrival at Springfield. I think them both pecu liarly well fitted for their respective positions, & both well qualified. Dr G is from Clinton DeWitte C. & brings the best of recommendations. Dr B is an old practicioner here & I Know of no more faithful or conscientious man to fill his place. Both have given, I believe, entire satisfaction - Excuse me for this hasty note.

I should not reply to your insulting letter except to say to you to mind your own business - and also to say that the appointment of Browning gives almost universal satisfaction to both parties in the State - because Mr. Browning occupies precisely the same position on the questions now before the people which Douglas occupied at his death and because he is a man of the most eminent ability. If you denounce this as "an unprincipled act" all I have to say is that you are guilty of meaness and falsehood - and I would thank you not to trouble me with your silly advice.

State of Illinois Executive Department. Springfield June 18th 1861 M. C. Hunter Bloomington Ind. I should not reply to your insulting letter except to say to you to mind your own business - and also to say that the appointment of Browning gives almost universal satisfaction to both parties in the State - because Mr. Browning occupies precisely the same position on the questions now before the people which Douglas occupied at his death and because he is a man of the most eminent ability. If you denounce this as "an unprincipled act" all I have to say is that you are guilty of meaness and falsehood - and I would thank you not to trouble me with your silly advice.

Chicago June 19th 1861 His Excellency Richard Yates Governor of the State of Illinois Springfield Sir: Some time ago I send a letter to the Right Honorable F. A. Hoffmann, Lieutenant Governor of this State, in which I offered my service to the State in any situation he or Your Excellency may see fit to place me. I did not like to join one of the Volunteer Regiments, as I have a very good business situation & a family depending from my earnings, so that I had no time to raise a Company; besides, I am not satisfied with the elections of officers in a great many volunteer regiments which seldom have elected the right men. The latest news show my presumption being right & that the country is very much in need of experienced officers. I have a short sketch of my life in my letter to the Right Honorable F. A. Hoffman, but in this critical period I consider it my duty to my adopted country, to communicate to You the following facts: <hr /> I was born in the year 1826 in the City of Luxembourg, where my father was commander of the Prussian Artillery; in the spring of 1844 I entered the Prussian army in the 30th Regiment of Infantry, was promoted 1846 lieutenant in the same Regiment, fought all the battles in the Revolution of 48 & 49 & therefore got decorated by the Grand Duke of Baden with the Zachringer Loewen Order; In 1853 I resigned my office on Account of not being able to give the required security to get married & came to this country. I started first in St. Louis a Alcohol Distillery & lived there till 1858, when I failed in business on account of the hard times & went to this city, where I reside since that time. I am now travelling agent for Mr. Theodore Kraefft 77 South Water street, to whom & many other leading merchants here & in St. Louis I can refer You. From the above statement Your Excellency can see if my service could be of any use to my adopted country & I am willing & ready every minute to serve the State to the best of my ability. I have further to remark to You that I made myself acquainted with the American tactics. <hr /> I hope Your Excellency will excuse my liberty of addressing You in this matter & if You need my service please direct Your ordres care of Theodore Kraefft to Your humble servant Otto Igel <hr /> Otto Igel.

Princeton Bureau Co Ill June 20th 1861 To His Excellency Governor Yates I see by the papers that Major [Hendin?] of the Chicago Zouave Regiment has declined the appointment as Major which your tendered him and that no appointment to fill that vacancy in the Regiment had yet been made. I have tried in various ways to secure a position in which I could serve my country in her present need but so far without success. I have had some ten years experience in Command of a Regiment in New York City and may without egotism claim to be qualified to do so here. I am 48 yrs of age – have <hr /> two of my sons in the service – one of whom is in Company A. of the same Zouave Regiment – and I now ask of you Sir to give me the appointment to fill the vacancy. I am in politics a Democrat but will yield to no man in the devotion I feel to our Union or in the desire I feel to sustain the administration in quelling the Southern Rebellion. I can furnish abundant evidence of qualification, and as to my habits there can be no objection as I am addicted to none that are regarded as a disqualification. I never drank a drop of [illegible] spirits in my life am free from any disease or disability I claim to possess great presence of mind in time of danger, and will [persevere?] to fight as long as I can have any one to fight with me or to fight. I am as poor as Lazarus and I would come to Springfield and urge <hr /> my claims in person but I trust to your generosity to give me as fair a chance under the Circumstances as if I had made my [illegible] in the Executive Chamber.
