Omaha Jan'y 14, 1865 Hon. Richard Yates Senator-Elect My Dear Sir: Your note of 5 inst. in answer to mine to our mutual friend Judge Kellogg is just received. A day or two after writing my letter to "Pitt" I saw the Chicago Tribune Article on Washburne. Although not familiar with your Illinois politics I had some time before become satisfied that the parties controlling that Journal had a candidate to oppose you, therefore the Washburne pronunciaments did not surprise me. I will not say to you what I said to the Judge concerning the justice of your claim, nor anything as to the universal recognition thereof by the Nation. I will only say that if the result had been different, although the other candidates are all "honorable" men the people of this Country would have been disappointed. Personally I congratulate you with all my heart on your success. and I thank Pitt for laboring for you. He has greatly gratified all his numerous friends hereby doing so.

It has given me great gratification to serve you & him in this matter for the reason chiefly that you both signed my petition for Secretary of this Territory in 1860. You may not remember it. Nor is it probable that he will. An old schoolmate of mine Dr. M. W. Seaman of Shipman presented my case. I think through Mr. Palmer. Seaman, of whom I have heard nothing for some time, is a man of great natural talent. I have watched the lists of ap- <hr /> pointments made by you as Governor with the hope that I should some time see his name chronicled as Surgeon or Assistant Surgeon. It would afford me infinite pleasure to be able to assist him. I place gratitude at the head of my list of virtues. Be good enough to make my regards to "Pitt" if in Washington.

Omaha Jan'y 25, 1865 Hon. Rich'd Yates My Dear Friend I enclose a slip from the Republican of this city containing an item of gossip which I suppose really amounts to nothing. My term under our Organic Act is five years & will not therefore expire until July '66. I think if Mr Lincoln understood this and knew my status here he would not hesitate to retain me through my term, I demand nothing further. But I would like to know definitely what to expect. Will you do me the very great favor to speak to him on the subject & drop me a line at your earliest convenience. Will you be good enough to <hr /> say to "Pitt" that John Chapman of Cass County now in the Council, is a candidate for Marshal of the Territory. Mr. Chapman aided me materially in getting up this petition for our mutual friend Dubois. He is a very sharp & effective politician. His appointment would give great satisfaction. I trust you will not vote me a bore for troubling you in these matters. In this long account I can pay up even a pretty large balance.

Previous to the nomination of Col. F. A. Eastman as the candidate for Senator in this district, that gentleman, who has always professed and does still profess, to be a special friend of mine, (and I have regarded this profession for his part as something more than mere political influence-seeking)---came to me <hr /> with the volunteered proposition that if nominated and elected to the Senate, he would resign his office of Penitentiary Commissioner and request you to appoint me to the vacancy. As a reason for the offer, he alleged that having been an editor himself, he can appreciate the hard labor pro bono publico of any position as the working and writing and superintending editor of the Evening Journal, and being aware, as he said, that the position of Commissioner is one that I could fill faithfully and without necessitating a resignation of my editorial position, he would do all he could to get it for me, believing that I was deserving of it. "So much, so good." In a <hr /> private conversation with Norman Williams, a friend of mine, last eve'g, I was astonished by the information that Col. Eastman had promised the same thing to him that he had clearly promised me! Now, I am astounded at this double dealing towards friends, under such peculiar circumstances, and it has opened my eyes to Col. Eastman's unreliable character. I helped to nominate him, and did more than any other man in his district, personally and editorially, to insure his election not as by any agreement between us especially, but because of the personal interest I felt in him, and because of the knowledge I had <hr /> of the extra intent of the Democracy to beat him, if nobody else. Now as a matter of honor, Col. Eastman sought to resign and recommend me to your consideration for appointment to fill the vacancy. He promised me, only the day previous to your recent visit here, that he would see you and ascertain whether the things could be done, and whether you would get an understanding with Sen. Oglesby in the matter, to insure the adoption of the appointment by him, after you go out of office. I feel satisfied now that he has not kept these promises, and never intended to. And yet, Governor, you know who I am---know how arduously I have labored as the editor of the Journal for the past four years---and know, I presume, that if party service should entitle a man to public reward, I am entitled to this.

Evening Journal Office Chicago, Jan 2, '65 My Dear Hopkins: I was surprised to learn to day that the story has been set afloat among the friends of Gov. Yates, at Springfield, that I have been among the opponents and slanderers of that honorable gentleman. I wish you would do me the kindness to see the Governor at the earliest opportunity, and say to him, for me, that any such representation, in respect either to myself or the Journal office, is utterly and wickedly false, and I desire him to know and understand that it is so before the decision <hr /> of the pending contest for the Senatorship. Any one who may have asserted that I have ever uttered an unfriendly word in reference to the Governor, or any one who construes or misconstrues anything that I have ever said or written, as inimical to him, or as designed to bear unfavorably to him, does me gross injustice, and I desire now and here to correct it. I wish to be understood. Whether Gov. Yates is elected or not, no candid man will dare accuse me of having been among those who arrayed themselves against him. I wish you would say this to him. Gov. Yates has always been friendly to me, and I do not wish him to think for a moment <hr /> that ingratitude or an ungentlemanly disposition is a part of my nature. I presume this story was invented by those who are opposing my appointment to the position of penitentiary Commissioner, the object being to provoke Gov. Yates to interfere against me.

Evening Journal Office Chicago, Jan 2, '65 My Dear Hopkins: I was surprised to learn to day that the story has been set afloat among the friends of Gov. Yates, at Springfield, that I have been among the opponents and slanderers of that honorable gentleman. I wish you would do me the kindness to see the Governor at the earliest opportunity, and say to him, for me, that any such representation, in respect either to myself or the Journal office, is utterly and wickedly false, and I desire him to know and understand that it is so before the decision <hr /> of the pending contest for the Senatorship. Any one who may have asserted that I have ever uttered an unfriendly word in reference to the Governor, or any one who construes or misconstrues anything that I have ever said or written, as inimical to him, or as designed to bear unfavorably to him, does me gross injustice, and I desire now and here to correct it. I wish to be understood. Whether Gov. Yates is elected or not, no candid man will dare accuse me of having been among those who arrayed themselves against him. I wish you would say this to him. Gov. Yates has always been friendly to me, and I do not wish him to think for a moment <hr /> that ingratitude or an ungentlemanly disposition is a part of my nature. I presume this story was invented by those who are opposing my appointment to the position of penitentiary Commissioner, the object being to provoke Gov. Yates to interfere against me. I trust that he has not been induced to do so. I should feel very sorry if he had. I should like Gov Yates' influence to help me get this appointment. His friends & supporters are my friends & supporters. You, Mr. Bangs, Mr. Forrest, & Eastman - who are the Governor's friends - Know that I am not an opponent of his. Respectfully yours, A.

Fremont Lake Co Ills May 7th 1864 Hon. Richard Yates, Gov. State of Ills. Revered Sir, To your Excellency, I, a humble woman of this our noble state of Ills. appeal for assistance. The constant and fatherly interest manifested by you, in all, even the humblest of our soldiers has emboldened me to take this step. I am as I suppose, the widow of an Ills. soldier; My husband, Thos J. Ames of Fremont, Lake Co., enlisted in the 51st Regt. Ills. Vol. Inft. in Sept 1861, and served the most of the time in the capacity of Sergt. in Co. G. At Chickamauga Sept. 20 he fell, fighting bravely to the last. With the exception of pension &c. allowed by Govt. to me, as the childless widow of a volunteer - and which allowance can not of course benefit me for some <hr /> time to come, I am entirely dependent upon my own exertions for a livelihood. I desire to obtain a situation as copying clerk in some office, at a fair compensation, and under circumstances such as a woman can accept without doing injustice to herself. You have here a specimen of my chirography and I think I can furnish references, which would be satisfactory, as to other qualifications. Hoping you will graciously pardon my boldness, and kindly grant me your assistance I am Very Respectfully Your Most Obed't. A. Sophronia Ames. To His Excellency Gov.
