Vermont Illinois October 8th 1861 Hon Richard Yates Worthy Sir Many of us of this community have felt badly about the failures of our friends and neighbor Thomas Hamer in his efforts to Serve his Country, he began first in this County to rally volunteers - and though his wife and her sisters were unwilling he should go, if he had got into the three months Service then they would have abandoned their fears. Since then they have buried a dashing little boy which affected seriously the Health of Mrs. Hamer who was within a few weeks of childbirth, which is always a severe ordeal for her Health, one which her friends always fear will end her days. Under these circumstances she has given birth to her child, but such is her condition that it certainly will not do for her husband to leave, I think she would hardly survive it. Mr Hamer I learn as sent his resignation in; and now on consultation we are really Hoping that you will fill the vacancy by the appointment of Rev Charles Atkinson, he is certainly thee <hr /> man. He is an Irish Man, with Mind, vigor, energy Patriotism. and talent which certainly will make its mark if he can but have a command in the Army. All of his soul has been in our cause since the war opened, and his powers in the pulpit in behalf of our cause and our Army has lost him his place as a Minister. Your friends of this place, Hamers friends, our best friends are hoping that you will appoint him to fill this vacancy. Respectfully H.S.
