<p>New Boston Ill. Aug 25th/63
</p><p>To his Excellency Gov.
</p><p>Yates. Sir, I am an American citizen with hopes and aspirations like unto many of my fellows, and in common with them have been watching the course of events with an anxious eye, and now feel it my duty to occupy some what different grounds from those
formerly controlled by my immediate care. I have been cultivating the soil for the past 30 years and take great delight in it but I am now willing to work in a different field for a time I am not a subject of the draft but nevertheless I am ready and willing to act my part on the battlefield to crush out this most unholy rebellion and to grant universal liberty to the races of men. Sir allow me to say to you, that to my mind our armies heretofore have been
</p>
<hr />
<p>Fighting more for a shadow than for a Substance. Liberty to me is more highly prized than all other earthly blessings, and what I ask for myself, I ask for the whole family. Distributive justice will come and I hasten the eventful day. Sir I ask at your hand a commission to serve in the army of the Union. If in your judgment it would be better to appoint me a place at the head of a company or Regiment of colored men to be led against the enemies of our Country it will not in the least detract from my manhood, and abide my country's call. Sir I have no public character to refer you to and am all most proud of it. In 1856 I had the honor of an appointment as a delegate from
this district to the great National Convention in Philadelphia the result of which your honor is familiar. We could not
</p>
<hr />
<p>Succeed at that time in electing the man of our choice. But progress is the order of things, and all is well. if it is not taxing your time and patience I refer you to A. C. Harding or Gen Paine of Monmouth Ill. as it regards my private character If I can be made more useful in directing the Mental or Physical efforts of a community of freedmen I will cheerfully act in that capacity. To conclude if sir, in your judgment I can be made of more service as an officer to solve the great problem before us, than as a farmer I am ready. Please let me know immediately and I will arrange accordingly. Yours Truly
</p><p>Wm P. Meyers
</p><p>To his Excellency
</p><p>Gov. Yates.

<hr />
<p>Ansd Sept 9 63

<p>Chester Randolph Co Ills
</p><p>Aug. 25th 1863.
</p><p>Governor Richard Yates:
</p><p>Sir; Your letter of the 22d inst is received, in which is stated "that if you will get strong letters from Generals Grant and Prentiss &c I will urge your claim at Washington".
</p><p>The commission under which I am acting specifies the condition that I am to serve "without pay." Hence I could not be paid for services rendered under it.
</p><p>Moreover, I could not in good faith accept pay even if it was tendered to me. For certain specified reasons, which need not be repeated now I wished to hold the position of Colonel of Artillery and agreed to serve without pay as one of the conditions of its being granted to me. Of course then I could not honorably presume to even mention such a thing as drawing pay for services rendered
</p>
<hr />
<p>under these circumstances.
</p><p>Neither do I claim any credit for serving without pay. My most intimate friends do not know but that I am under full pay nor have I ever mentioned it to any one save Gens Grant, McPherson, Hurlbut and Prentiss. The fact is known to others (to my sorrow) through them and not through me.
</p><p>On the contrary it is a matter of humiliation to me to reflect that while men, who, when they entered the service knew nothing whatever of even the rudiments of the intricate science of artillery practice, are holding similar positions with full pay and emoluments, I, who may boast at least of having received a military education, and take equal risks with them, have not even the assurance that my family will receive a pension should an accident befall me, nor the privilege of surgical care in a hospital if wounded, and am moreover under the necessity of partially covering my own expenses in the field and those of my family at home, by writing political
</p>
<hr />
<p>essays for the public prints.
</p><p>I mentioned in my former letter that I had recd pay for certain services before Vicksburg. I will explain. The work to be done was a very difficult and dangerous piece of engineering, to do which, no competent officer was at hand. It had no connection with my own duties and I saw nothing wrong in accepting pay for it. - not as Col of Artillery, however, but simply as an individual employed for that specified purpose.
</p><p>My sole object in addressing you was to be put in a position where I could stand in all respects on an equality with other officers henceforth, and without any desire whatever to be paid for services under the commission I now hold. To further this object I wrote to Gen Grant on the same day I wrote to you and also to Gen Prentiss, but as your favor of the 22d inst makes no mention of the real object of my letter I must infer that the case is hopeless.
</p><p>I have no reason to think that your Excellency will ever give the matter a second thought, yet I cannot rest satisfied without knowing
</p>
<hr />
<p>that I am properly understood. Nor do I wish to be understood as complaining. As long as I can be of use in the service and can do no better, I will serve under my present commission willingly and gladly.
</p><p>Could I have visited you in company with Gen Prentiss, I believe that something might have been effected, but as my leave expires next week I will not have the opportunity.
</p><p>Hoping that this letter may effect the object for which it is written I will couple my apology for trespassing upon your time, with the assurance that I will not trouble your Excellency with the subject again.
</p><p>I am
</p><p>Very truly and respectfully
</p><p>Your obedient servant
</p><p>Morton S. McAtee
</p><p>Col of Artillery
</p><p>Ills Vols.
</p><p>Your Excellency's kindness in offering to urge my claims for back pay is appreciated, but while the obligations it places me under are none the less, for reasons stated above I cannot avail myself of it.
