State of Illinois Executive Department. Springfield Sept 23 1861 Dear Governor Your letter has been received and should have been answered a day or two ago. I saw while in St Louis, (for I was waited on by several leading men), that what you say is true, that there was a conspiracy to break down Genl Fremont, and I concur with you that it would be "disastrous to an alarming extent." I believe it would bring about a revolution and the consequences would be direful and disastrous. Now, Governor, I know one thing certain, and that is the hearts of the soldiers and the people are with Fremont. I have taken occasion to converse with several officers and with the people from different parts of thi State and they would not willingly <hr /> submit to the displacement of Fremont. Many things are at the bottom of this move - ambition, jealousy, money. Sharpers from Washington to Chicago & St Louis after fat contracts - seekers after place - and even the Presidential succession are at the bottom - for Governor, it is certain that the man be he McClelland or Fremont, or whoever he may be, who shall achieve the most brilliant victories during the present war and who shall impress himself upon the people as the master spirit of the [illegible] will be the next President. and they the wise ones at Washington & elsewhere see it. I feel warmly attached to Fremont, and could I have his ear I would try to impress him with one view, and that is to concentrate all his troops into one grand army, with but few detachments.

My second, is Prof. James Maurice Hubbard, formerly the tenor of the celebrated "Blakelys Troupe," and pronounced, by Ole Bull, as the most correct interpreter of his music, in this county. All the musical talent of Chicago, I hazard, will second me in recommending him to your distinguished consideration.

I have no wish to be tiresome in the expression of my wishes, nevertheless I do wish to say enough to interest you in my behalf while you have an opportunity of rewarding your ardent friends May I not respectfully ask you to bring your influence to bear on some Col. whom you are about to appoint so that he will give me the post of usefulness and responsibility for which I trust I am qualified, or if you cannot do this will you not give me a position within your control.

Please inform me as to the extent of your authority in relation to the equipping the regiment, can we obtain what we need in Chicago? Very Respectfully Your Obt. Servant Isaac G.

The Marine Bank of Chicago declining business, and having transferred its collections to the undersigned, subject to the approval of its Correspondents, I beg to inform the public that I shall continue the Collection and Exchange Business heretofore done by that Instigation, and such Banking Business as may be connected therewith, on my individual account. Exchange on London, Paris, and the Eastern Cities furnished to Correspondents at fair rates. J. YOUNG SCAMMON. <hr /> Chicago Sept. 26. 1861. Hon. Richard Yates, Governor &c. Springfield, Ills. My dear Sir: Capt. Booth is, as [illegible] from my son, who is recruiting for a cavalry Company in Wisconsin, at Springfield desiring to get authority to raise a squadron of cavalry. Allow me to ask from you the most favorable consideration of his application. My son expects to go with him, if he succeeds in raising the squadron, and as he is very anxious about the matter, so am I. Parties who come to settle their accounts (Back) <hr /> with the Marine Bank always claim peculiar consideration, if they have not annoyed me before. Allow me to avail myself of the precedent, and ask you, as the ladies say, [prettily?] to grant Mr. Booth's request. Yours very respectfully, G Young Scammon <hr /> Recommending Capt Booth J Young Scammon Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
