</p><p>My friend B. B. Wentworth Esqr, for some years a member of the bar of this City, is desirous of entering the service of the Country in a military capacity. I am not capable of speaking of his military qualifications, but think he has a taste that way, and take great pleasure in saying that he is a gentleman of fine intelligence - of energy and industry; of integrity, and great devotion to the cause of the Union and Constitution, and will do no dishonor to any position he may ask for.

<p>Mason City, Sept 16, 1861
</p><p>His Excellency Gov. Yates:
</p><p>Sir - My object in addressing you is to obtain an interview preparatory to an appointment in the Illinois volunteers. There are reasons why I have not already entered the service in some company from this neighborhood, which could be better explained in person than by letter. Mason county has sent a goodly number of men into the field and it would certainly be no more than justice to give her a representation among the field or staff officers. If your appointments were confined exclusively to regularly educated military men, I could not hope to obtain favor, as my military experience is limited to a few years drill in the N. Y. militia; but if civilians who can furnish the most unexceptionable references for private character, together
</p>
<hr />
<p>with a firm and steady purpose to defend the honor and integrity of their country in every event, can stand any chance, I think I may at least obtain an interview. What I lack in the theory of military knowledge, I think can be readily acquired by dilligent study, especially when the school furnishes such abundant opportunities for practical application. Should you wish further information in regard to me I would say that I have been a resident of this state about ten years, am a native of Sag Harbor, N.Y., and son of the late Col. H. W. Hunt, of some military reputation. I would refer you to Rev. John Andrews of the Presbyterian church of Mason City, Rev. G. W. Patterson, 2d Pres church, Chicago, Mr. Geo. Straut, Peoria, or if time would permit you to make inquiry to Col Rose, 16th N.Y., or any of the prominent citizens where I have formerly resided. Hoping that this may elicit a reply, I remain
</p><p>Your ob't serv't
</p><p>Kosciusko C. Hunt

<p>P.S. - I will meet you at Springfield or elsewhere at any time, as you may direct, but hope the time will not be long postponed.

I will however briefly say, I have resided in Chicago 27 years past -- I have been in the employ of the M.S. & N I.R.R. Co for the past 10 years where I am still. I can give all the reference required as to <u>responsibility</u> and <u>respectability</u> and would like your aid & advice as to the best method to persue to consummate my wishes

</p><p>In accordance to promise I now write you Mr Shafer promptly called on me at Chicago & we had a very pleasant interview & compared notes &c as the true policy that ought to be persued by the Administration in Regard to the Ills. Soldiers. (I will say here that I was highly pleased with Mr Shafer) & found him a live man I arrived at Washington Sunday; monday morning called on Mr. Lincoln told him I had mearly droped in for a minute to let him know I was there that I wished him to let me know when he would have leisure that I must have an old fassioned talk with
</p>
<hr />
<p>him he said call in one hour I did so & had a dead set with him I soon found by Skermishing with him that in the main he entertained the same views of Shafer & myself that is that the Ills Boys must be well cared for &c I still pressed him further & told him that if Ills could have a Major Gen of her own one that the people had full confidence in that she would raise such an army as would asstound the nation & intimated who that man was he said he was a ware of what I said & remarked that he was equally anxious as I could be to have the right man in the right place said you as the Executive of the state had arroused your people to an unprecedent patriotism for which you deserved well While I could get nothing definate
</p>
<hr />
<p>I got nothing repulsive I have considerable hope if we can manage things smoothly in the Statehouse or rather with our own people I think we can succeed yet he wishes to do right but he is howned to death I shall be at home soon then I will have a verbal interview you know I hate letter-writing be cause I am clumsy at expressing my ideas on paper believe me your friend & well wisher

(I will say here that I was highly pleased with Mr Shafer) & found him a live man I arrived at Washington Sunday; monday morning called on Mr. Lincoln told him I had mearly droped in for a minute to let him know I was there that I wished him to let me know when he would have leisure that I must have an old fassioned talk with</p>
<hr />
<p>him he said call in one hour I did so & had a dead set with him I soon found by Skermishing with him that in the main he entertained the same views of Shafer & myself that is that the Ills Boys must be well cared for &c I still pressed him further & told him that if Ills could have a Major Gen of her own one that the people had full confidence in that she would raise such an army as would asstound the nation & intimated who that man was he said he was a ware of what I said & remarked that he was equally anxious as I could be to have the right man in the right place said you as the Executive of the state had arroused your people to an unprecedent patriotism for which you deserved well While I could get nothing definate</p>
<hr />
<p>I got nothing repulsive I have considerable hope if we can manage things smoothly in the Statehouse or rather with our own people I think we can succeed yet he wishes to do right but he is howned to death I shall be at home soon then I will have a verbal interview you know I hate letter-writing be cause I am clumsy at expressing my ideas on paper believe me your friend & well wisher</p>
