Fairbury Livingston Co Ill July 17 1862 Governor Yates - Dear Sir - As one of the people I take the liberty to thank you for your patriotic address to the President. Unless our rulers are aroused to put forth all the power of the nation at once we are ruined as a nation forever. Mr. Lincoln is a great & good man, but he does not seem to comprehend the awful crisis that is upon the nation. The plain fact is she is even now trembling in the balance between life & death. Yet not one half her powers have been brought into the contest. Mr Lincoln should raise two men where is raising one, and he could & should make ten gun boats where they are now making one. They alone could save us from foreign intervention. But enough of this. Would not a letter from you to some leading man or men in each County, calling upon them as patriots to get the people aroused by public meetings &c have a good influence. It will require some extra exertion for Illinois to raise her quota of the 30000 without drafting. Yet it can be done, and you can do it. Let Illinois keep her present proud position in this contest. But I do not write to advise you on matters that you comprehend better than I,---but to inquire if I could get a Majors commission. I have no military experience. But think that after one month I could satisfy all. And if assured a place that could support my large family, so that I could devote the time, I could do as much as anyone in raising troops in this County. And if any attention is paid to localities the County is entitled to something of <hr /> of the kind for I believe she has nothing higher than a captaincy though she has raised over 500 men. But if the way is not clear for the above, what would you think, of a brigade quartermaster or commissary. Owing to the conditions of my family and financial affairs, I had not felt called upon to enter personally into the service, but it is now different. And if you think I could be of any use anywhere please let me hear from you soon Yours Truly A. J. Cropsey <hr /> Ans.

Illinois and Michigan Canal. Superintendent's Office Lockport, Jan. 29th 1864. To his Excellency Gov. Yates. A letter has been received from Camp Yates, from a number of the Mercantile Battery (new recruits) complaining of bad treatment while at the camp bearing your name at Springfield. Some of the men live in this place---one in particular is well used to all the hard fare of campaigning, and they call the treatment 'execrable' I do not write you thinking you at fault, but as the soldier considers you his special friend and protector, they express a desire that you may know how they are treated by persons whose duty it is, to look after and care for them and see that the soldier has rations, and everything other thing which he is entitled to. One letter lying now before me says--- 'I have just taken supper, dry bread, no meat and coffee.' This is perhaps one of a thousand instances where the men suffer, while the officer is to be blamed. Through the friends of these soldiers I am asked to call your attention to this <hr /> this matter, thinking that if these particular men do not get the full benefit of your presence in camp by stirring up these officers, some others who are as deserving of good treatment will. The writer of this particular letter desired Jno. B. Preston Esqr. of this place (Canal Supt.) to write your Excellency, but Mr. Preston being sick, the friends called upon me. I am satisfied that a man who has graduated in the U. S. Navy would not complain unless he had ample cause. For the sake of the men who propose to go and fight our battles and whip our enemies into obedience to the law I beg you will see to this matter. the soldier has got the idea into his head that Gov. Yates is his friend. I believe so too or I would not trouble with this note. For the good treatment of the soldier, if it be a necessity to hang or dismiss the guilty officer, why, then do so at once, and the soldier is the better man for it. I am Your Obt Servt A. J.
