Athens Ill. Aug. 29th/61. Gov. R. Yates, sir,- I served in the Mexican War in the 16th Regiment of M. S. Infantry, Col. Tibbatts. I served till the end of the war without missing a days duty -- was probably drilled three times as much as the twelve months volunteers in that war. I am a native of Sangamon County -- son of Wm. Colburn of Loami and am now thirty years old. I now through you offer my services to my country. All I ask is a place where I can make my past experience useful. I lately visited Camp Butler, and what I saw there has induced me to offer you my services. Some companies there are well officered and are progressing finely in their drill, while others have officers who are inexperienced and incompetent, and the men who try to serve under such officers, instead of being drilled as soldiers should be, are harassed and tormented by a multiplicity of improper orders. Seeing this state of things I concluded to offer my services, bona fide, for the good of my country, and not for my own aggrandizement. I could not afford to leave my family (whom I love dearly) and my business for the little that I could do as a private soldier, but as an instructor I could do much good. And I think that in consideration of my past service and experience I am entitled to an office. I can furnish you written certificates and recommendations of my character and abilities in any number you may desire from the best citizens of Sangamon & Menard Counties. And if you see fit to give me a commission I am ready to enter the service at any time, and to devote my entire energies, talents, & experience to the cause of my country in this its hour of need. But, sir, if you find plenty of other men to fill the offices, who are more deserving, capable, and experienced than I am, then I am content. Yours with the greatest respect, Gov.

Springfield Aug. 29. 1861 To his Excellency R. Yates Sir I was surprised at our meeting a few days ago that you should ask me to procure recommendations for the position of Major 1st Because you had voluntarily tendered me the place 2nd Because you have appointed a man to the place both morally and physically incompetent 3rd Because you have given positions to men who opposed you and who tried to compel me to oppose you and who have not more military merit than myself 4th because you have appointed and are still appointing men whose sympathies are against the Energetic prosecution of the War - When at Bloomington I had to disobey instructions to support you and thereby joepardised the interest of other friends & thereby no doubt defeated myself in my application for office last winter, and now after <hr /> having served three months I find that you have accepted more companies in Pike than can be filled and thus I am thrown out of the service I do not intend to try for a place for myself and I do release you and all other persons of political obligations to me at the same time I deem it due to the Country that men of undoubted patriotism should be promoted to office and I tremble when you appoint such men as McCrillis who last winter was an open secessionist and I fear is so yet at heart If an opportunity presents itself of advancing Lieut Anthony [illegible] & you should do so you will do the country good service Your Obt servt D.
