He served with much credit in Mexico and was in Gen Hamers regt. [illegible] in several battles. He is a Democrat & while that is neither a recommendation nor objective for appointment in the Army, he personally deserves much consideration in this matter. Major Hays was amongst the first of the Democrats of influence & position in this portion of the State to dare for himself say that he was for the Union, prior <hr /> to the propriety of such course being indicated from head quarters. He was one of the first of his party to raise a Company for 30 days and for the War. He is well fitted for the post is personally brave has business capacity and understands his duties as an officer. His appointment will do more to strenghthen the cause of the Government in this region than that of any man I know particularly of Democratic antecedents. I feel grateful to him for his standing side by side with my old Pike friends in opposition to disunionists who had been his former allies & friends. If you can do appoint him.

Private Princeton July 20th 1861 Dear Sir: Can you and will you get me a commission as field officer in one of the new vol regiments. I do not want nor ever did to command a regiment but was and am yet only desirous of the rank of Lt Colonel or Major. If I should get that and see service it would be time enough to think of the other. For reasons not necessary to specify I wished to be in the front and to see real service. In this I have been disappointed and unless you assist me shall be again. I do not ask this as having any claim on you, but simply because I could not rest satisfied without one more <hr /> effort to compass the objects which took me to Chicago to see you just before the issuing of your proclamation. Then, and for some time after, I supposed that everything would turn out according to my, and I have no doubt your, desire, but the events of Camp Yates resulted adversely. I speak of a Lt Colonelcy or a Majority as a preference, but as I do not desire a position for its rank or emolument, solely or chiefly; a staff appointment which would send me to the front and permit me to be mounted, would enable me to do what I wish. Please excuse my pertinacity and believe me yours Respectfully S. A. Paddock Hon R Yates &c <hr /> S. A.

Private Princeton July 20th 1861 Dear Sir: Can you and will you get me a commission as field officer in one of the new vol regiments. I do not want nor ever did to command a regiment but was and am yet only desirous of the rank of Lt Colonel or Major. If I should get that and see service it would be time enough to think of the other. For reasons not necessary to specify I wished to be in the front and to see real service. In this I have been disappointed and unless you assist me shall be again. I do not ask this as having any claim on you, but simply because I could not rest satisfied without one more <hr /> effort to compass the objects which took me to Chicago to see you just before the issuing of your proclamation. Then, and for some time after, I supposed that everything would turn out according to my, and I have no doubt your, desire, but the events of Camp Yates resulted adversely. I speak of a Lt Colonelcy or a Majority as a preference, but as I do not desire a position for its rank or emolument, solely or chiefly; a staff appointment which would send me to the front and permit me to be mounted, would enable me to do what I wish. Please excuse my pertinacity and believe me yours Respectfully S. A. Paddock Hon R Yates &c <hr /> S. A.
