State of Illinois Executive Department. Springfield Sep 9. 1861 Maj. Gen John C. Fremont Dear Sir. I beg your indulgence to allow me to say a word in regard to Speed Butter at present acting as aid to Genl Pope. Mr. Lincoln, knowing him personally, has appointed him Brigade Commissary with rank of captain-- I very much desire that he shall be permitted to preserve his rank, and if required to do any duty other than that to which he is appointed as for instance Aid to Genl Pope, that you will assign him to such special duty so that he will still retain his rank. I must ask your indulgence for being anxious in this matter and plead as my apology the fact that I regard Mr. Butler as a <hr /> young man of remarkable promise. I entrusted him with a very important mission to the cabinet at Washington which he performed with great ability and promptness. I recommended him to Genl but found that the General had already discovered in him ability of a high order and had determined to place him on his staff. In any enterprise requiring trust, responsibility, prudence, tact, energy and courage I could consider his services invaluable. He is the son of our able State Treasurer and he and myself are especially anxious to secure for him your kind attentions and regards. Should it be inconsistent with your view for him not to retain at least his present rank as Captain, we could take care of him well in this State and secure for him a position much higher than that he now holds, but we feel very anxious that he should be under your direction, if he can have such opportunities of rendering effective service for which we believe he possesses ample qualifications if properly directed & matured.

Quincy Sept 9th 1861 His Excellency Richard Yates Dear Sir When in Springfield during the extra session I spoke to you about giving a friend of mine - indeed my nephew - Henry L Warren, a situation.

I appeal to you for it. I also recommend Doc David McLeith, of Henderson Co, as a suitable person to be appointed Surgeon of a Rigement and hope he will be most favorably considered. I do not know that my recommendations are entitled to any respect, but I must confess I have thought they were entitled to at <hr /> least as much as those who approved the positions and views I occupied and entertained while in Congress and since, until they found their hostility to the government would not do and then changed over.

Jacksonville, Ills. 10th Sept. 1861 His Excellency Richd Yates, Governor of the State of Illinois Respected Sir! By the advice of some of my friends in Jacksonville, I recently made application to the President for the Consulate of a small Island in the West Indies, where I resided many years, & in which I still have many friends & relatives. Yesterday I received a communication from the President's private Secretary, informing me that my application had been referred to the Department of State, to which I was requested to address any future communications on the subject. 'Squire Stacy - in whose office I have been writing for several years, thinks that a line from you, would have much greater influence with the Secretary of State, than volumes of testimonials or letters of introduction from other sources. From present prognostics, it is very probable <hr /> that Mr. Stacy will be defeated in the November election. In that event, he will have other resources on which to fall back, but I shall be left without any. Under these circumstances, permit me to ask the favor of you to furnish me with a testimonial of character. By complying with my wish, you will do a deed of charity, and confer a lasting obligation on my family. If you desire it, I will furnish you with various complimentary testimonials from Professor Turner, 'Squire Stacy, &c &c. I am Respected Sir! Your obedt Servt W. J. F. Stephens. <hr /> W. J. F.
