Middleport Ills 31st July 1862 Governor Yates <pre>Dear Sir </pre> I herewith inclose Certificate of Board of Medical Examiners of my having successfully passed examination The more I think about the matter the more anxious I am to have the place of Surgeon instead of Assistant Knowing the Kindly interest you have expressed for me I write a little more frankly than I otherwise would as to why I would prefer that place. In the first place, considering my pecuniary Circumstances, the Salary is something of an object; and in the next place the place of assistant is liable to be made a very onerous and disagreable one. I have confidence enough in myself to feel that I can discharge the duties of the position respectably Dr Mack concured with you in the belief that I had better take the first place; and he has told me that it would be very agredable to him to have me <hr /> appointed to that position. Still I am aware that there is a heavy pressure being brought to bear on him to have Dr Heise of Will Co. appointed. But Will County having already furnished One Surgeon, or perhaps Assistant, and two Majors as also one lieutenant colonel, Cannot Complain if I should have the appointment. Iroquois Co, having furnished Six Companies for the War, and now, almost certain to have three more in the Kankakee Valley regiment, has never had a single field officer. I know that it will be perfectly agreeable to you to appoint me,; but at the same time you doubtless dislike to thwart or cross the purposes of the Colonel. In this case it will not be thwarting the Colonel because I know that it will be agreeable to him. Yet, if to refuse to appoint Dr Heise, were to cool off some of the friends in Will the [illegible] might press me to decline the first position, though I do not know that he would do so I shall feel grateful to you if you shall, as far as may be compatible <hr /> with your sense of duty, rather insist upon my appointment if such a contingency as I suggest should occur. The Lord knows, I would not lay a straw in the way of a prompt raising the Regiment. My appointment will not have that effect.

Lucas Collection Description An account of the resource Scott Wike Lucas was an Illinois attorney and politician. Born in Cass County, Illinois, on February 19, 1892, Lucas attended public schools and Illinois Wesleyan University, where he played baseball and other college sports. While in college, during his summers, he played baseball in the Three-I League, a semiprofessional baseball league organized in Illinois, Indiana, and Iowa. After college, Lucas attended law school and was admitted to the bar in 1915. Lucas served in the United States Army during World War I, rising to the rank of lieutenant. He would later continue his military association by serving as commander of the Illinois Department of the American Legion. After serving as state's attorney for Mason County in the 1920s, Lucas ran in the 1932 Democratic primary as a candidate for the United States Senate from Illinois; however, he lost his primary bid to William H. Dieterich. Governor Henry Horner then appointed Lucas chairman of the State Tax Commission, which Lucas directed from 1933 to 1935. In 1934, Lucas won election to the United States House of Representatives from Illinois. Four years later, he won election to the U.S. Senate and was reelected in 1944. Following President Harry S. Truman's reelection in 1948, Lucas became Senate Majority Leader. He served in that capacity only two years, losing the 1950 general election in Illinois to Republican Everett Dirksen. Lucas died on February 22, 1968. The Scott W. Lucas Collection consists of 38 photographs from Lucas' early life and political career. In addition to images of such influential American politicians as John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson, the collection contains several political cartoons satirizing Lucas and other politicians.
