Needs Review Transcription A written representation of a document or a page. Dwight Livingston Co. Sept 14th 1863 His Excellency Gov. Yates: Your Excellency will pardon me for intruding upon your notice at a time when so many pressing calls occupy your attention in every direction, and believe me, nothing but the belief that your sanction and recommendation would be of incalculable service would have led me to address you at this time. But your expressed interest in the cause of general emancipation has led me to hope that you would look with favor upon the measures proposed. The Women's Loyal National League whose center is in N. York City have <hr /> decided upon canvassing the Northern States and obtaining signatures to petitions asking for general emancipation as a means of national safety and universal human interest They wish me to canvass this State and if practicable to do something in Kentucky and Missouri. As they have no funds donated and must look to contributions to carry the work forward it will greatly add to the labor; and I thought it wise to avail myself of every possible facility in carrying it forward. It occurred to me that a word from you approving the measure would aid me greatly with the Loyal Union Leagues throughout the state. I think you heard me advocate the cause of the widows last winter when the senate so disgraced <hr /> the manhood of Illinois by turning their petitions into ridicule and can judge whether I could do well in advocating the cause of human rights. With Sentiments of the highest consideration I remain truly yours Mrs. H. M. Tracy Cutler His Excellency Richard Yates <hr /> File C. Cutler, Mrs. H. M. Tracy. Dwight - Livingston Co. Sept 11th Has been requested to act as agent in Ill. for circulating among the members of the Ladies Loyal League a petition for the general emancipation of the Niggers. Wishes you would write a line of commendation for her. Thinks your X. remembers her in the Legislature some tome ago advocating "Womans Rights.

Hamilton Sept 15th / 63 Hon Gov Yates Sir Duty to myself and family prompts me to solicit your aid in getting my second son discharged from the service of the United States. I am a widow with eight children six of whom are now with me, and five are small, the eldest of the five is 13 years old, the youngest two and and a half. The oldest one with me is James the son before mentioned, he enlisted about a year ago (against my will being under age) in Co. C 118th Ill Volunteers and during the siege at Vicksburg while out skirmishing he with the others were taken prisoners and taken round to Richmond and Annapolis [illegible] where they were parolled <hr /> and sent home and he is now in daily expectation of being exchanged and called back to his Reg. He has been very anxious to join his Reg but still feels that it is his duty to stay with his mother . On serious objection I had to his joining the army was his health, which is not improved and then I am getting to be advanced in years. I am 46 years old with poor health and small means I am renting a farm which I shall be unable to carry on without my sons assistance. My oldest son has been in the service over two years. He enlisted early in the rebellion. I yielded him up sorrowfully yet willingly mingled with a felling of pride that I could make so great a sacrifice to in so noble a cause. I still had a son left to assist me in support of my family, and I felt that it was his (my eldest son's) duty to respond to his country's call. But I cannot feel so with regard to my second son going for he is my main dependence. And now though you may not have the authority to grant his discharge, yet if you will use your influence to obtain it for him - my son, James H. Greene is his name, you will confer a lasting favor upon his mother Mrs Harriet Greene Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Needs Review Transcription A written representation of a document or a page. St. Louis, Missouri 18. Septr. 1863. Box 2908. Dear Sir, Some short time since, I addressed you a note, respecting the great want of Coal Miners in Illinois - Lest, in the great multitude of business which I see has lately engrossed your attention, my communication has escaped your notice, I take the liberty of enclosing your another - It is for the hands of President Lincoln, or the proper authority for such matters. The case offered by your State at the present time, is an unusually strong one- for the simple fact, that such is the scarcity of Colliers throughout Illinois, that many of them are now earning as much in one day, as, to my knowledge, can only be earned in <hr />a week by some of the best Colliers in Great Britain and the effect of this must come home to the consumers throughout the State. I am well acquainted with all the Mining Districts throughout England, Wales, & Scotland, and being a practical miner, know how to address the men you want, by easy familiar letters which I propose to write, and insert in such papers as have chief circulation amongst them. The papers I allude to, circulate upwards of one million copies per week. If this were done for a few months, I apprehend there would be a great improvement for the better in eh state of the Coal Trade of Illinois, as well as for the consumers. I should suggest that a copy of my communications be handed <hr />or forwarded to you - for your inspection - indeed, I could make Springfield my headquarters - and I have little doubt but plenty of opportunities would offer for my introducing English Capital into the State as well as working miners I hope you will pardon the liberty I take in addressing you again - and allow me to leave this subject to your favorable consideration I am, Dear Sir, Yours very faithfully James McKenzie To His Excellency Richard Yates Governor of Illinois Springfield <hr />MacKinsie.

With James McKenzie letter 9/3/63; 9/4/63; 9/19/63 St. Louis, Missouri 19 Sept. 1863. To His Excellency Abraham Lincoln President of United States Sir, I came to this country with some miners from Lancashire & Yorkshire in England, with a view to engage in Coal Mining in Illinois, my purpose however has for the present been frustrated. But during the short time I have been here, I have been strongly impressed with the great need there is for more working Colliers in the State of Illinois. The public papers have for some time past, exhibited many instances of insubordination and riot on the part of the men, who are combined in a League throughout the state, for <hr /> the maintenance of exorbitant wages, and other regulations of an oppressive character. It is not long since I visited La Salle, and learned from Col. Taylor, that some of his Colliers had been earning as much as 6, 8 & even 10 dollars a day - whilst to my own knowledge, the best Colliers in England could not earn more than one dollar per day. The high price of Coal here, is a natural result of this state of things - Now there are thousands of steady hard working miners & Colliers in England, who would readily come over here, if they knew that by so doing they could effect such a permanent improvement in their condition - as is the case with every industrious and steady man who settles here. But they don't know these things in England - I propose therefore, as a prac <hr /> tical miner, to write a series of easy familiar letters, addressed to the miners & working Colliers in Great Britain, pointing out to them in a plain manner, the great advantages that are here within their reach, and insert them in such papers as have chief circulation amongst them in England, Wales, & Scotland. There are plenty of philanthropic men, as Richard Cobden & others, who would give countenance to such endeavours if needed - as it would be a mutual benefit to the miners themselves, as well as to the State & Country where they settle - I should be happy to engage in this work, for my sympathies would go with it & it would be both a pleasure and a duty - and I would devote myself to it for the sum of $100 per month besides travelling Expenses My communications could be made <hr /> in duplicate, one copy being handed to any authority in the State you name - Commending this matter to your consideration, I am, Sir, Your obedient servant James McKenzie Status The current transcription status of a document or a page.

Bennett letter 9/21/63 Saint Louis. Sept. 21. 1863 Hon. Richard Yates, Governor of Illinois, Springfield. Ills. Your Excellency I notice by correspondence from Springfield that there has been a change in the Sanitary Commission, and that there are to be appointed resident agents for this and other places. If your Excellency has not already made the appointment for this city I would reccommend to your favorable notice Mr. Uriah P.
