&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gov. Yates
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dr Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I recd a line this morning from Lt Gov. Hoffman saying that the matter of complaint referred to by me in my letter of the 31st would be carefully attended to  I am happy to say that within the last few days a change has occurred in the management here &amp;amp; that negro laborers are now being employed on the levee. I hope this may continue so &amp;amp; believe it will.  The 76th Regt is enjoying a very fair degree of health &amp;amp; doing finely  I have been sick for a week but am much better
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Very Respy &amp;amp;c

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Columbus Ky Sept 22/62
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Says that the matter of complaint in his recent letter has been corrected and that there is now no necessity of Govs interference

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dr Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I recd a line this morning from Lt Gov. Hoffman saying that the matter of complaint referred to by me in my letter of the 31st would be carefully attended to  I am happy to say that within the last few days a change has occurred in the management here &amp;amp; that negro laborers are now being employed on the levee. I hope this may continue so &amp;amp; believe it will.  The 76th Regt is enjoying a very fair degree of health &amp;amp; doing finely  I have been sick for a week but am much better
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Very Respy &amp;amp;c

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have noticed in the Chicago Tribune, a statement that you had returned to Springfield from Memphis, quite low with the Dysentery.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the present crisis of our country I feel that we must not loose such men.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Enclosed I send you some pills which have never failed (if perseveringly used) to effect a permanent cure in all cases of Cholera Morbus, Camp Diarhea or Dysentery.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have given many to the soldiers of my acquaintance in the field. Soldiers discharged from Hospitals, reduced by Camp Diarhea, returning to this place have been cured invariably.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The pills must be taken often enough to stop all evacuation. After taking from nine or ten according to the directions, wait twenty five or thirty hours when they [operate?] as a cathartic.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In case of another attack the same course must be taken again, until a permanent cure is effected.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Do not use them while using other medicine. They are purely vegtable &amp;amp; would not injure a well person. I am simply a Union woman that seeks to case her [mite?] in to the [scales?] on the side of Freedom.

                  <text>The fluorspar-rich region of southeastern Illinois served as a home for several mines, making Illinois the leading producer of fluorspar in the United States from the 1940s until the 1990s. The mineral is used to smelt metals such as aluminum, creade hydrofluoric acid, and in items containing fluoride chemicals. Fluorspar mines existed in southern Illinois until the mid-1990s when the last mine closed due to increased availability of fluorspar from international locations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Photographs in this collection include images of miners at work, mining machinery and factories, and Aluminum Company of America factories.</text>

                  <text>The fluorspar-rich region of southeastern Illinois served as a home for several mines, making Illinois the leading producer of fluorspar in the United States from the 1940s until the 1990s. The mineral is used to smelt metals such as aluminum, creade hydrofluoric acid, and in items containing fluoride chemicals. Fluorspar mines existed in southern Illinois until the mid-1990s when the last mine closed due to increased availability of fluorspar from international locations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Photographs in this collection include images of miners at work, mining machinery and factories, and Aluminum Company of America factories.</text>

                  <text>Richard Yates, Sr., served as Illinois' thirteenth governor from 1861 through 1865. Prior to serving as governor, Yates was a member of the United States House of Representatives from 1851-1855. &amp;nbsp;During his time as governor, Yates, who was anti-slavery, was active in recruiting troops for the Union Army. After finishing his term as governor in 1865, Yates won election to the United States Senate where he served one term, leaving office in 1871. After leaving office, President Ulysses S. Grant appointed Yates to serve as a United States commissioner inspecting a land subsidy railroad in St. Louis. His son, Richard Yates, Jr., also served as Illinois governor from 1901-1905 and&amp;nbsp;in the United States House of Representatives from 1919-1933.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Images in this collection include several portrait of Richard Yates, Sr., taken at different points in his life, a collage of famous Illinois College alumni, and a newspaper image showing the outcome of a bet made on the outcome of the 1860 Illinois gubernatorial election.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Digitized versions of Richard Yates Sr.,'s gubernatorial correspondence are available on Chronicling Illinois in the Yates Family Papers and the Wabash Yates Collections.</text>

                  <text>&lt;p&gt;The first classes at the McCormick Theological Seminary took place in a log cabin in Indiana in 1829. During the Civil War the school relocated to Chicago's Lincoln Park neighborhood. In 1859 Chicago entrepreneur and Presbyterian layman Cyrus H. McCormick and his wife, Nettie Fowler McCormick, became the seminary's major financial patrons. The relationship between the McCormick family and the school remained well into the twentieth century.&amp;nbsp;Shortly after McCormick&amp;rsquo;s death in 1884, the school was renamed McCormick Theological Seminary. Several campus buildings are named for McCormick family members including McCormick Hall, Fowler Hall, and Virginia Library. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s assassination in 1968, seminary faculty and students were active in the civil rights movement and provided assistance to displaced and injured participants. The seminary relocated to Chicago's Hyde Park neighborhood in 1975.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The photographs in this collection include portraits of the McCormick Theological Seminary Class of 1896, school professors, and campus buildings.&lt;/p&gt;</text>
