Cheney House Sep 7. 1861 Dear Governor: I met Judge Wilson at the cars and intended to have gone home with him, but at his urgent request to stay and see what conclusion you came to in reference to his Regiment, as well as from what you said to me this morning, I changed my mind and am here and expect to remain here at my room until I leave Springfield this evening until better days shall dawn upon us. The reason for this I will state. In a few moments after the cars left I noticed in the St Louis morning papers that the fight at Shelbina Mo day before yesterday was a shameful failure and that Gen Hurlbut, who was drunk and who was put under arrest by Col Williams, was the cause of it. <hr /> I am overwhelmed with grief and mortification. I feel personally disgraced and have no heart to write or speak about it. All I ask is to be allowed quietly to go home in the hope that no man from my county will ever be mentioned to you again in connection with any office of trust or responsibility. This burning disgrace is indeed intolerable. Great God to what awful end are we hastening! The quietude of the grave would be a relief to me could I know that that would be the end of these awful disasters. As things now stand I do not feel it my duty to accept the appointment which you have tendered me. And yet I feel painfully embarrassed that my name has ever been mentioned in connection with it. As it is known that you had contemplated making the appointment <hr /> all I have to request is that you will in some way give me the opportunity to show that I have not applied for the appointment. I may be too sensitive about this matter but a fear that there may be a reflection upon me on account of the disgrace of Hurlbut makes me ask that personal justice may be done me. I have another request to make and that is though men and devils should object, do not abandon your humane policy of sending to camp and field some one to look after the neglected and suffering soldiers. Ten thousand hearts leaped with joy when it was announced that relief was to be sent to the neglected. Do not, in Gods name I beg of you do not turn that joy to sorrow by failing in this matter to do your duty promptly. <hr /> A. C. Fuller as to Hurlbut &c. And remember that for every article of comfort - for every moment of considerate attention - for every token of love and affection which you shall send to absent ones, the blessings of the relieved, their fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers & friends shall, like the rains of heaven, be showered upon your head Judge Wilson informs me that General Freemont most cordially endorses the policy and will most cheerfully co-operate with you, and that he Nelson telegraphed to you yesterday to this effect. Give my kind regards to Mrs Y. and believe me still, whether in prosperity or adversity - in joy or sorrow Your sincere Friend Allen C Fuller PS I will take any message to Judge Wilson you may wish to send. - Status The current transcription status of a document or a page.

Belleville Sept. 9. 61 Dear Sir, This is to introduce Frank Anderson Esqr, of Sparta, a [illegible] gentleman and excellent Republican. He wants to join the service, will even go as a private, though his position, age & family will hardly allow of that. Randolph has furnished so many companies, that he cannot well raise a Company there. If you can confer some grade upon him you would certainly gratify his very numerous friends. Yours very truly G.

Office of John Wood & Co. Bankers, Quincy, Ills. Sept 9 1861 Hon O M Hatch Dr Sir I have this day written to Gov Yates urging the appointment of Wm R. Lockwood Esq of this City as Colonel of one of the Illinois Regiments. He is eminently qualified for the place. His whole heart is in the war. He will do credit to the Service and his appointment will be in the highest degree acceptable to the friends of the Union and of the State Administration in this part of the Country. For these reasons and as I personal favor to me I take the liberty to ask that you will lend your influence towards his appointment. I will always gratefully remember the favor Yours truly John T.

Belleville Sept. 9.1861. Dear Sir I understand that Gov. Hoffman offers to make up another German Regiment. The experience in St. Louis, where Fremont has authorized the making up of several Regiments at the same time has shown the great impropriety of such as course. He has now some ten fragments of Regiments, and not one full yet. He has now issued an order to consolidate them thereby disappointing a great many men, and in fact imposing on some, who enlisted under particular men as officers, who are now thrown out. I would suggest not to commission Gov. Hoffman to raise men, until my Regiment is full. I will get this week two fine Companies from Sigels former Regiment (Illinoisans) who have fought at Carthage & Springfield, but who prefer now to enroll in Illinois. I expect to have at the end of the week some 6 Companies in Camp. I have offers of parts of Companies from various parts of the State but it takes time to consolidate them and fix them up. Direct the Adjutant General to send me a certain number of Passes, the names of Captais to be left blank. I have an immense trouble with the Railroad unless I have such passes. There is no telegraph office open <hr /> here now, and I cannot therefore telegraph for passes. I beg you to attend to this, as it will help me most materially. Yours very truly G Koerner Gov. R.
