Dear Sir
My regiment will soon be full and I feel much solicitude about their arms.  I have noticed the statement in the newspapers in relation to the guns obtained by you at Washington, and I wish to request that the Lincoln Regiment shall be duly remembered in the distribution.  I have taken the liberty to telegraph you this morning asking for 200 of the rifles, and I earnestly hope you may be able to accommodate us.
Very truly yours

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Governor,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Permit me to say, that there is a deal of uneasiness amongst our Union people here caused by persons from Mo. opening recruiting offices pretendedly to fill up Companies in our regiments at Cape Girardeau and elswhere. I have Strong grounds for believing that most of these men are traitors, and that they are making up recruits for the rebel Service; and getting information which may annoy us in the future. I Suggest, that no man or Officer, unless well known, ought be allowed to enlist a man in this region unless authorized by you to do so.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Men have been here and across the State to the Wabash, whose conduct has been most suspicious. The pretended Union feeling exhibited, it is feared, is only a delusion, and that at last the K's, G. C. will make much trouble. They are all about here.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yours Truly
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;D. S. Phillips
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gov. Richd Yates. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Springfield Ills.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir your favor of 10th inst is at hand. I beg leave to ask you for what term of Service you speak of whare you say you Could Authorize me to raise a Malitia Company. The reason I Sugested Twelve months Service was I supposed it would be sufficiently long. Could they or not be musterd into the State Service for three years or during the war. I hope thare will be a special interest taken in this matter by your Excelency as no single Company or battalion Could Protect all the Teritory exposed if invaded, And we feel well satisfied thare is danger, which will be increased as soon as our troops move South

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In answer to your note of the 10th inst. I have to state the 6000 stand of arms, to which you refer, are ordered to be recalled from the Home Guard of Phila, and to be sent to you, with accoutrements and ammunition, as soon as returned from Philadelphia. This order was given on the 9th instant. The fourteen batteries of artillery were contracted for, as you suggested; according to which contract the first two batteries, complete for service in the field, are to be delivered on or before the 1st Novr., and two complete batteries, per week, thereafter, until the whole fifteen are delivered.

&lt;p&gt;In answer to your note of the 10th inst. I have to state the 6000 stand of arms, to which you refer, are ordered to be recalled from the Home Guard of Phila, and to be sent to you, with accoutrements and ammunition, as soon as returned from Philadelphia. This order was given on the 9th instant. The fourteen batteries of artillery were contracted for, as you suggested; according to which contract the first two batteries, complete for service in the field, are to be delivered on or before the 1st Novr., and two complete batteries, per week, thereafter, until the whole fifteen are delivered.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Rev Dr. John W. Worthington desires a Chaplaincy.  You know him, once of yr city.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My belief is he would be a valuable Chaplain.  Can you aid in his appointment?
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Letters have been written to Lt Col D.C. Williams &amp;amp; Major Matteson of Yates Phalanx by me on behalf of the Rev Dr W: a good word from you, if  free to do &amp;amp; agreeable to you would aid the Dr perhaps.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As a friend, let me say, your energy, as Governor, draws upon my feelings largely.  Go on, Dear Sir, you have made a shining mark as our young Western Gov.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Can any Muskets &amp;amp; accoutrements be got for Pike?
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We are on a Frontier. Our boys are fighting chickens.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My effort is to get up a Militia Regt in Pike.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We have some old Muskets lately, recd. Some Cos. organized now as Militia.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have been requested to add my petition to that of the commanders of companies in the 25th Ill. Vol. who desire that the resignation of Lieut. Col. McClellan may be withdrawn.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have no other interest in the matter than this; that justice may be done Col. McClellan and that the Volunteers from Vermillion Co. have a fair representation in the Field or Staff offices in the Regiment.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I do not claim that they should be represented unless they present suitable persons for such offices; - those that are comparatively well qualified.-  And knowing that Col. McClellan has been actively engaged in the performance of his duties as Lieut. Col and a good share of the time as commander of the Regt. since ordered from Ill. I think him a suitable person for the position he occupies.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As I used my influence to get him and the Vermilion Co. companies into that Regt. I hope you will pardon me for interfering in the matter. And I most respectfully ask that the request may be granted if consistent with the public interest.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yours Very Respectfully
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Wm P Chandler
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lieut Col. 35th Ill. Vol.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;W.. P. Chandler
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lieut Col 35 Regt Ills Vol
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Petitions for the withdrawal of Resignation of Lt. Col McClenan.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Enter &amp;amp; File.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;me the favor to forward some memorandum
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;of authority under which I can act and
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;take command of the Regt. as it goes into
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;camp.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your Obt. Servt

&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;It is understood between Col Prettyman and myself that I shall have the position of Lieut Col. in his Regt. If this is satisfactory to you, and I presume it is from your promise to me, will you do me the favor to forward some memorandum of authority under which I can act and take command of the Regt. as it goes into camp.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Govr. Yates,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir - I was in your city about one week attending Synod, and hoped to see you - I have a friend here, who would like to get a situation in the army.  It is Frank H. Gilmore who has been publishing a democratic paper here for some years, and has done us great service for the Union in this our Country's trial.  He has a brother 1st Lt. in Co H. 9th Regt, now at Paducah.  If you could give him a situation that would pay him equal to Capt or 1st Lt. it would a favor never to be forgotten by me.  He is poor and is related to me by marriage.  He has a good business head and very energetic.  A situation in the Qr. Master Dept. or Adjt would suit him.  His efforts in our County, in his paper, contributed much to allay the Southern feeling of the democracy in our County at the Commencement of the rebellion.  Let me hear from you.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your friend
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;J. T. Eccles
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;J. T. Eccles
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Recommending Frank H Gilmore.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Write this man (who is very much of a man) a friendly letter that Captains &amp;amp;c are elected - no vacancies - difficulties as to appointments - &amp;amp; regrets
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hon Richard Yates Gov Ills
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is absolutely necessary that we have a
major appointed immediately
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And we do recommend Sen
Capt Sylvester W. Munn as the
proper person for that office, as
he has been acting as such from
the 5th inst and has shown himself competent and qualified for
that position. And he is a gentleman in whom the officers of the
Reg have confidence and with whom
they would be Satisfied.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your obt sevt
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A. Light Col
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Commanding 39th Reg Ill V
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Col Austin Light
Recommending
Capt Munn as
Major.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Answered
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Write - that I have been
from the first under partial
promise to Capt Mann - and that
I hope he will give satisfaction - and
believe if he finds he will not that
he will not hold on -
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is absolutely necessary that we have a
major appointed immediately
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And we do recommend Sen
Capt Sylvester W. Munn as the
proper person for that office, as
he has been acting as such from
the 5th inst and has shown himself competent and qualified for
that position. And he is a gentleman in whom the officers of the
Reg have confidence and with whom
they would be Satisfied.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your obt sevt
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A. Light Col
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Commanding 39th Reg Ill V
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Col Austin Light
Recommending
Capt Munn as
Major.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Answered
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Write - that I have been
from the first under partial
promise to Capt Mann - and that
I hope he will give satisfaction - and
believe if he finds he will not that
he will not hold on -
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In consideration of the present condition of your Regiment, and since you have been directed by the Adjutant General of the Western Department U.S.A. to recruit it.  I recommend to you that you call all of your officers together at some convenient place, and ascertain from them whether or not they desire to aid in reconstructing the regiment and that such as do be at once directed if not under parole to proceed to enlist men.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If all the officers of any company when the men have been discharged should
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Executive Department.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Springfield   186
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;decline to go into your Regiment, I should regard that company as entirely disbanded and in that case some other company already organized might be transferred to your regiment, or a new one enlisted for the purpose of filling it up.  Capt Barkers company having been disorganized so far as your regiment is concerned There would be a place vacant for one at least.  I am willing to appoint the 2nd and 3rd Majors of your Regiment with your advice in such a manner as to aid you in the reorganization of your Regiment
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Respectfully Yours
