                    <text>&lt;p&gt;Executive Department
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Springfield Ills  Oct 12th 1861
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Col. Gustavus Koerner.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Aid de Camp to Major Genl Fremont  
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir:  
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your requisition on the Executive for an Order on the Adjutant General of this State to assign a Company commanded by Capt. Krumme now attached to the 46th Regiment, Coll John A Davis, to the 43rd Regiment Col Raith and your letter explanatory thereof, are receive and duly considered.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Referring you to my letter of yesterday for the reasons, I reply respectfully, declining to make the order, promising however, on the returning of the Governor to lay all correspondence, between us, before him.  In relation to the power of the General Government to order troops as “soon as enlisted” without reference to [illegible] either the organization of companies or regiment has been completed, I submit that a discussion of that
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;question is not now necessary as I understand the Secretary of War has directed that the organization of companies and regiments shall be conducted under the direction of the Governor's of the respective loyal States.  If so, the duties thus enjoined upon the Governors, implies the right to determine the manner, and time of the organization, always to be exercised, of course, with reference to the necessities of the public service.  How Illinois has discharged that duty, the record which she has made in the past few months will testify.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The “moral cruelty” which you suggest, would be inflicted by declining to detach Capt Krumme's Company from the 46th, and assigning it to the 43rd I think is overestimated.  The four companies of the 46th came from Stephenson County and the 43rd principally from St Clair County, distant about two hundred and fifty miles, and if there is such an attachment existing between the respective companies of these regiments, as you intimate, could not this “moral cruelty” be as well avoided by detaching companies from the 43rd and attaching them to the 46th as well as the 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;reverse.   I doubt not, both these regiments can soon be filled up and ready for service, and deem it better for both that a reasonable time should be given for that purpose.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Sincerely Yr Friend
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Allen C. Fuller
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dr Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your unfortunate condition should awaken the sympathy of all patriotic men
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is impossible in the great number of cases like your own but that some should fail to receive that attention that their wants require or their patriotic services deserve  We have at present no state fund for the support of soldiers wifes &amp;amp; families nor has this state any control over the paymasters of US Army they being under direct instruction from War Department at Washington City
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is to be hoped that before this reaches you the pay due you from the Genl Government will have been sent in which case your safest plan would be to send it to your family for Expenses
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yours very respectfully
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Allen C. Fuller

&lt;p&gt;Dr Sir&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Your unfortunate condition should awaken the sympathy of all patriotic men&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;It is impossible in the great number of cases like your own but that some should fail to receive that attention that their wants require or their patriotic services deserve We have at present no state fund for the support of soldiers wifes &amp;amp; families nor has this state any control over the paymasters of US Army they being under direct instruction from War Department at Washington City&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;It is to be hoped that before this reaches you the pay due you from the Genl Government will have been sent in which case your safest plan would be to send it to your family for Expenses&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I informed Gov Yates that you were provided with uniforms for your Regiment.  The Governor has no authority to provide cavalry horses.  He intends while in Washington (for which place he left Springfield last evening) to endeavor to obtain authority to do so
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your Regiment is the Fifty second (52d) Illinois Infantry.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Respectfully Yours

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Governor
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I was unable to see
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;you last evening before I left and
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I regret it for I saw Frank Blair
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;about town &amp;amp; felt anxious to learn
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;the news from you about matters
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;in his state.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The news this morning I notice
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;looks a little threatening and
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I hope we shall soon be relieved
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;from this painful anxiety.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I find here a letter from
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;my friend [name] of Boston which
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;has been forwarded from Belvidere
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;to me here. He informs me that
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;he shall be here about the first
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;of March and will then decide
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;the businefs matters about which
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;we have corresponded. As soon
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;as he decides I will let you
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;know definitely. In the mean
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;time if any thing should re
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;cur "consider me in."
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I go home to day to attend
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;for the present to my own businefs
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;amp; propose to let politics alone for
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;at least a few days and while
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;not without anxiety yet with an
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;unshaken faith that you will not
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;falter one moment from duty.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Before the Legislature adjourns
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;you must have an efficient mili
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;tia law. Why on earth don't
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;the [illegible] hurry it up. That
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;law should be past without any
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;further delay.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Do let me hear from  you
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;often.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;give my regards to [name]
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;[illegible]
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yours Truly

&lt;p&gt;Dear Governor&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;I was unable to see you last evening before I left and I regret it for I saw Frank Blair about town &amp;amp; felt anxious to learn the news from you about matters in his state.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;The news this morning I notice looks a little threatening and I hope we shall soon be relieved from this painful anxiety.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;I find here a letter from my friend Fenn of Boston which has been forwarded from Belvidere to me here. He informs me that he shall be here about the first of March and will then decide the business matters about which we have corresponded. As soon as he decides I will let you&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;hr /&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;know definitely. In the mean time if any thing should recur "consider me in."&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;I go home to day to attend for the present to my own business &amp;amp; propose to let politics alone for at least a few days and while not without anxiety yet with an unshaken faith that you will not falter one moment from duty.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Before the Legislature adjourns you must have an efficient militia law. Why on earth don't the [illegible] hurry it up. That law should be past without any further delay.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Do let me hear from you often.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Give my regards to [Mort Carrel?] &amp;amp; believe me&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yours Truly&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Governor Yates
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My Dear Sir:
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I was much dissappointed
at not meeting you at Chicago last Thursday evening
according to appointment. The reception of Green and
Banks was a splendid affair. There was however a
universal regret that you failed to be there. You
have no better friends in the state than in Chicago
and you must go there and see them when you
return from Washington. That promised visit of
yours and Mrs Yates at Chicago and here when you
return must be made and I calculate much upon
it. I will not weary you with professions of
friendship nor by a repetition of assurances of the
pride I feel in you now being surrounded by your
former friends at Washington. No Governor at
Washington or elsewhere occupies the proud and
enviable position you do to day &amp;amp; I repeat God
bless you Richard Yates. I have no fulsome
praise or flattery for your ear or eye but I
have this to claim for myself and that is that
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(2)
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am your unselfish friend. I know I hold
an office at your hands and the fear that you
have been embarassed in making it makes me
daily regret that I have accepted it. This is no
idle statement but Gods truth. You might have made
other friends without looseing one by a different
appointment. I can only promise you I will
not disgrace your administration and when
a few weeks or perhaps months of these troublesome
times shall have passed I will return you that
commission with as much of sincere respect and
honorable regard as though you had conferred a
bounty on me for life. Believe this and await
my best efforts to do something which shall merit
your approval.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I shall go again to Chicago to-morrow. I
am now engaged in ascertaining the history of the
Banks in the state (and each one has a history) with
the view of ridding the state of the intolerable
curse of those who deserve no protection.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;May I not expect to hear from you
while in Washington?
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yours Truly
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Allen C Fuller

                    <text>&lt;p&gt;Cheney House
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sep 7. 1861
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;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.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;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.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;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
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;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.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A. C. Fuller
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;as to Hurlbut &amp;amp;c.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;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 &amp;amp; friends shall, like the rains of heaven, be showered upon your head
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;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.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Give my kind regards to Mrs Y. and believe me still, whether in prosperity or adversity - in joy or sorrow
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your sincere Friend
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Allen C Fuller
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;PS I will take any message to Judge Wilson you may wish to send. -
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In reply to your note of this P.M. I would state that the 110th Regiment has been consolidated into four companies. As therefore the regimint is much below one half the maximum number it is doubtful whether, as the battalion has a Lieutenant Colonel, it is also entitled to a Major.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A short time since Lt Col Topping was here and requested that no appointment of Major should be made until he returns to his regiment and was heard from. This I promised him and he agreed to talk matters over with General Palmer who had taken considerable interest in the regiment
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;An appointment at this time I should regard therefore a violation of my promise to Lieut Col Topping.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I do not know either of the Captains
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;and have no opinion of their merits. Capt Cantrell is the Senior Captain and if it is entitled to a Major he should be promoted after hearing from Lt Col Topping.
