&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You will see by the enclosed notices that the Loyal Women of Iowa will hold a Convention at Muscatine on the 7th and 8th of October.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your unflinching integrity, and devotion to the Government, and your generous efforts on behalf of those who are upholding our flag, and defending our free sister [illegible], leads them to invite you to honor them with your presence, as a speaker on the occasion of the Convention.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Illinois and Iowa have a common interest, and they desire that the kindly feeling binding these sister states may be strengthened us with a [illegible] fold card.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Nothing would conduce more to awaken an interest in Sanitary affairs, and connect our feeling of friendship than your words of power and eloquence to the Ladies of Iowa.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yours Respectfully,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Anna Wittenmyer,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;State Sanitary Agent.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;P.S. Should you write direct to me at Muscatine Iowa
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A.W.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your unflinching integrity, and devotion to the Government, and your generous efforts on behalf of those who are upholding our flag, and defending our free sister [illegible], leads them to invite you to honor them with your presence, as a speaker on the occasion of the Convention.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Illinois and Iowa have a common interest, and they desire that the kindly feeling binding these sister states may be strengthened us with a [illegible] fold card.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Nothing would conduce more to awaken an interest in Sanitary affairs, and connect our feeling of friendship than your words of power and eloquence to the Ladies of Iowa.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yours Respectfully,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Anna Wittenmyer,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;State Sanitary Agent.

                  <text>Monticello College first began as the Monticello Female Seminary in 1838. Founded by Captain Benjamin Godfrey to provide education for women, the school offered two years of classes for attendees based on the idea that&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;“if you educate a man you educate an individual; educate a woman and you educate a whole family.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Godfrey selected Reverend Theron Baldwin to serve as the first head of the Monticello Female Seminary. In 1867 Harriet Haskell became principal, a position she held until her death in 1907.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On November 4, 1888, a fire broke out in the building and consumed the entire structure. Ms. Haskell and the school's Board of Trustees successfully fundraised for a new building and rebuilt the school in two years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The school's leadership made the decision to close the school in 1970 with the final class graduating in 1971. Lewis and Clark Community College completed the purchase of the Monticello College campus in 1972.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The finding aid for the Monticello College (Godfrey, IL) Records at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library may be found at &lt;a href="https://illinois.as.atlas-sys.com/repositories/2/resources/545" title="Monticello College (Godfrey, IL) Records"&gt;https://illinois.as.atlas-sys.com/repositories/2/resources/545&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The finding aid for the photographic Monticello College Collection at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum may be found at &lt;a href="https://illinois.as.atlas-sys.com/repositories/3/resources/4702" title="Monticello College Collection "&gt;https://illinois.as.atlas-sys.com/repositories/3/resources/4702&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</text>

Sir.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My son Rowland Cox (Private) Co I., Anderson Cavalry x, is the only representative of the State of Illinois in in that Regt &amp;amp; has added his mite to the glory of the State, by being one of the “Noble 300” who were in front of the fight at Murfreesboro 5 days &amp;amp; having his name placed upon the Roll of Honor.  In view of this &amp;amp; his ability for usefulness, both from education &amp;amp; devotion to our blessed Cause  may I ask for him, the position of Major or Lieut.?

&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;a great deal of misery now and I cant see why it was that he would be taken into the army when he is so crippled up and afflicted and now I want you if you please (as friend to get him a discharge and send him home to me   I am a poor widow and have trouble enough without having him away from me sick and not half taken care of   if he was at home I could take care of him a little better than he now is taken care of  at least I would be better satisfied and now if you please I want you to answer these few lines immeadiately and let me know what can be done   if you doubt any of these statements I can get plenty of witneses to prove it to you  so please to let me know as soon as possible
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;Yours humbly 
&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mrs Ann Napies

                  <text>Henry Sadorus (1783-1878) and his family arrived in Champaign County, Illinois, in 1824, settling along the Kaskaskia River in what is today the town of Sadorus. Henry's son, William, platted out the town and made land donations for churches, a school, and a city jail.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;William (1812-1899) and his wife, Mary Ann, had five children live to adulthood including George Wade Bacon Sadorus (1838-1911) and Henry Washington Sadorus (1840-1927). George served in the 125th Volunteers during the Civil War and then returned to work the family farm. George's son Frank was a photographer whose collection is now held by the Illinois State Museum.

                  <text>Monticello College first began as the Monticello Female Seminary in 1838. Founded by Captain Benjamin Godfrey to provide education for women, the school offered two years of classes for attendees based on the idea that&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;“if you educate a man you educate an individual; educate a woman and you educate a whole family.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Godfrey selected Reverend Theron Baldwin to serve as the first head of the Monticello Female Seminary. In 1867 Harriet Haskell became principal, a position she held until her death in 1907.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On November 4, 1888, a fire broke out in the building and consumed the entire structure. Ms. Haskell and the school's Board of Trustees successfully fundraised for a new building and rebuilt the school in two years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The school's leadership made the decision to close the school in 1970 with the final class graduating in 1971. Lewis and Clark Community College completed the purchase of the Monticello College campus in 1972.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The finding aid for the Monticello College (Godfrey, IL) Records at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library may be found at &lt;a href="https://illinois.as.atlas-sys.com/repositories/2/resources/545" title="Monticello College (Godfrey, IL) Records"&gt;https://illinois.as.atlas-sys.com/repositories/2/resources/545&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The finding aid for the photographic Monticello College Collection at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum may be found at &lt;a href="https://illinois.as.atlas-sys.com/repositories/3/resources/4702" title="Monticello College Collection "&gt;https://illinois.as.atlas-sys.com/repositories/3/resources/4702&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</text>

Cav. recommending my brother Thos. D Shepherd for a Lieutenancy in the Regular Army. My object is sending this to Ills, was to get the signatures of endorsement by the officials of brother's [illegible] [illegible]; the approval of yourself, Gov. O, and Mr Dubois.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have now received it with a hearty approval by each of the above named gentlemen and
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Maj God advises that I apply to you by letter for a special recommendation from yourself. Brother has been in the army nearly ever since the war began and his officers give the highest testimony to his integrity and bravery. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you can grant this you will confer a favor where, I am sure it will be appreciated and heartily acknowledged.

The Federal Writers' Project provided employment opportunities for historians, teachers, writers, librarians, and other white-collar workers. Initially the project produced guidebooks entitled American Guide on several regions of the country with an emphasis on the the country's scenic, historical, cultural, and economic resources. The Illinois Writers' Project, the state office for the Federal Writers' Project, produced state-wide guidebooks as well as regional publications which included work by Richard Wright, Saul Bellow, Margaret Walker, and Louis "Studs" Terkel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The photographs contained in this collection include images of farm life in southern Illinois, Chicago architecture, Greek-American life in Chicago's Greektown, and historic buildings and architecture throughout the state. Photographer Nick John Matsoukas' images are featured in this collection and appear with their original photo captions.</text>

                  <text>The Federal Writers' Project began in 1935 as part of the United States Work Progress Administration created under President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's New Deal program. The Federal Writers' Project provided employment opportunities for historians, teachers, writers, librarians, and other white-collar workers. Initially the project produced guidebooks entitled American Guide on several regions of the country with an emphasis on the the country's scenic, historical, cultural, and economic resources. The Illinois Writers' Project, the state office for the Federal Writers' Project, produced state-wide guidebooks as well as regional publications which included work by Richard Wright, Saul Bellow, Margaret Walker, and Louis "Studs" Terkel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The photographs contained in this collection include images of farm life in southern Illinois, Chicago architecture, Greek-American life in Chicago's Greektown, and historic buildings and architecture throughout the state. Photographer Nick John Matsoukas' images are featured in this collection and appear with their original photo captions.</text>

                  <text>The Federal Writers' Project began in 1935 as part of the United States Work Progress Administration created under President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's New Deal program. The Federal Writers' Project provided employment opportunities for historians, teachers, writers, librarians, and other white-collar workers. Initially the project produced guidebooks entitled American Guide on several regions of the country with an emphasis on the the country's scenic, historical, cultural, and economic resources. The Illinois Writers' Project, the state office for the Federal Writers' Project, produced state-wide guidebooks as well as regional publications which included work by Richard Wright, Saul Bellow, Margaret Walker, and Louis "Studs" Terkel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The photographs contained in this collection include images of farm life in southern Illinois, Chicago architecture, Greek-American life in Chicago's Greektown, and historic buildings and architecture throughout the state. Photographer Nick John Matsoukas' images are featured in this collection and appear with their original photo captions.</text>

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My Dear Friend Yates,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yesterday we were made glad
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;by the announcement that you have received
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;the nomination for US Senator in the Union Caucus,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;by a handsome majority over all competitors.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And I wrote you very hastily as the mail
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;for the West was closing.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To-day we are gladdened by the
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;telegraphic dispatch that you were yesterday
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;elected U.S.Senator by the General Afsembly
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;64 to 43 over Jas C Robinson.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thank God for this long-expected
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Consummation most devoutly to be wished"!
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now my friend you have a grand opening
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;for a glorious National Career. Be true to
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;yourself and the friends who have stood
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;firmly and hopefully around you in this
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;ordeal. Your afsailants have been uncharitable
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-  have been cruel - but they have been harmlefs.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But your friends - oh blast not their high hopes!
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My heart is full - Let no one reproach you
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;truthfully hereafter in a matter in
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;which your own dignity and the
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;highest honor of the great State of
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Illinois is deeply concerned; But
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;pardon my solicitude - it may seem
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;intrusive - it is however unselfish.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your friends here and Elsewhere
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;are deeply solicitous for your future.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I shall be here long enough to
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;receive a letter from you.-
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Have you succeeded in getting the
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;pafses on "Illinois Central" and "Chicago
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;and St Louis R.R.s" - I am engaged in the
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;reform of our probate laws and
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;have spent much time &amp;amp; some money
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;for which I ask no compensation. -Have
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;had no favor of these roads although
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I was active in furthering the improvements.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hope you can get pafs - a year on Each.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hoping to hear from you soon
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am as Ever
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your Most obt Servant
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ansen S. Miller
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hon Rich Yates.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ansen S. Miller
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Washington Jan. 6th 65
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Congratulatory - wants
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;a letter -

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;the nomination for US Senator in the Union Caucus,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;by a handsome majority over all competitors.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And I wrote you very hastily as the mail
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;for the West was closing.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To-day we are gladdened by the
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;telegraphic dispatch that you were yesterday
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;elected U.S.Senator by the General Afsembly
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;64 to 43 over Jas C Robinson.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thank God for this long-expected
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Consummation most devoutly to be wished"!
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now my friend you have a grand opening
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;for a glorious National Career. Be true to
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;yourself and the friends who have stood
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;firmly and hopefully around you in this
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;ordeal. Your afsailants have been uncharitable
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-  have been cruel - but they have been harmlefs.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But your friends - oh blast not their high hopes!
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My heart is full - Let no one reproach you
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;truthfully hereafter in a matter in
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;which your own dignity and the
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;highest honor of the great State of
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Illinois is deeply concerned; But
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;pardon my solicitude - it may seem
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;intrusive - it is however unselfish.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your friends here and Elsewhere
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;are deeply solicitous for your future.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I shall be here long enough to
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;receive a letter from you.-
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Have you succeeded in getting the
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;pafses on "Illinois Central" and "Chicago
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;and St Louis R.R.s" - I am engaged in the
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;reform of our probate laws and
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;have spent much time &amp;amp; some money
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;for which I ask no compensation. -Have
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;had no favor of these roads although
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I was active in furthering the improvements.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hope you can get pafs - a year on Each.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hoping to hear from you soon
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am as Ever
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your Most obt Servant
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ansen S. Miller
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hon Rich Yates.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ansen S. Miller
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Washington Jan. 6th 65
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Congratulatory - wants
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;a letter -
&lt;/p&gt;
