                    <text>&lt;p&gt;To His Excellency
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Governor of the State of Illinois
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sir, 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have the honor on behalf of the Committee of the British &amp;amp; Foreign Anti-Slavery Society, to enclose, &amp;amp; to call your attention to, the copy of an Address which the Committee
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;have issued, with the object of evoking an expression of sympathy with those, in the United States of America, who are endeavouring to secure justice for the Slave I also beg to enclose the copy of a letter which the Committee have addressed to the President. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It would be gratifying to the Committee to learn, that you
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;had decided it desirable to bring this fact under the notice of your Council &amp;amp; the people of your State, and to assure them that the Sentiments expressed in the address, are those of the people of this country.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Excellency, 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yours very Respectfully 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;L.A. Chamerovzow
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Secy 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;27 New Broad St.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;E.C. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;London, 17th. Nov. 1862
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The crisis in the United States.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Address of the Committee of the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Committee of the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society, having observed, with the deepest sorrow, the efforts which are being made to infuse into the minds of the people of this Country, sentiments friendly to Slavery, feel it to be their duty to reiterate, and to commend to the serious consideration of their fellow Countrymen, the fundamental principle of the anti-slavery movement in England; that "Slave holding is a Sin and a Crime before God"; and therefore, that unconditional Emancipation, wherever Slavery is maintained, is alone consistent with the Divine Law, and with the requirements of justice and humanity. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;While the Committee believe that the efforts referred to, have not yet pervaded the 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;community at large, the tone and spirit of certain articles in a portion of the public press, the misrepresentation and perversion of facts, the biased addresses of many men of influence, all with the manifest tendency to bespeak favor for those who are contending for the extension and consolidation of Slavery, and to disparage and discourage efforts directed to its extinction, impress the Committee with the painful conviction, that in some quarters, a demoralizing effect has been produced. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Committee deplore, and regard with profound grief, the fratricidal conflict between the two sections of the American Union, but, while anxious to avoid expressing any opinion likely to be construed into an approval of a War policy, they regard it as established beyond disproof, that the South was not only the aggressor, but designedly provoked an armed contest with the United States' Government,
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;with the express, sole object of founding a Confederacy to perpetuate Slavery. On the other hand, the United States Government, embracing the political anti-slavery party of the North, commonly called the Republican party, has initiated and carried into effect, measures in furtherance of Negro emancipation, which entitle it to the sympathy of all true friends of freedom. It has enforced the Statutes against Slave trading, which former administrations, being pro-slavery, had allowed to become inoperative, and has prosecuted Slave traders to conviction and punishment; it has entered into a new anti-slave trade treaty with Great Britain, conceding a right of search, which former Government, overruled by the Southern party, had steadfastly refused; to promote the speedy settlement of the Territories, by a non Slave-holding population, it has enacted a Homestead Bill, giving a hundred and sixty acres of land to every immigrant, irrespective of his national origin; and moreover, carrying into effect the policy of Jefferson, ratified by Act of Congress in
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1789, it has prohibited slavery for ever, in those Territories, upon which issue alone, the Southern Candidate for the Presidency, was defeated at the election which immediately preceded the present rebellion; it has also abolished Slavery from the District of Columbia; it has virtually repealed the Fugitive Slave Act, by prohibiting the rendition of Slaves escaping from the rebel States, to the lines of the United States Army, providing compensation on account of such as may belong to loyal Citizens; it has recognized and entered into diplomatic relations with the Negro Republics of Liberia and Haiti; by the Confiscation Bill, considerably made non-retrospective, it, in effect, proclaimed emancipation to the Slaves in the rebel States, within a specified period; a majority in Congress has ratified the President's plan of compensated emancipation for such Slave States, as may elect to take advantage of it,
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;and only recently, the President has announced that the details of the measure will be submitted to the next Congress, with a view to its immediate practical application; 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;lastly, the President has lately issued a Proclamation, declaring absolutely and for ever free, all the Slaves in those States which shall be in rebellion on the 1st. of January next, and pointing to the measures in progress for the abolition of Slavery in the Loyal States, upon the principle of indemnification. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;While the Committee deprecate a resort to Arms, even with the avowed purpose of promoting the extinction of Slavery, they reiterate the opinion that the friends of the Slave, in the United States, under whatsoever designation, have established a just claim upon the sympathy of the friends of freedom throughout Europe.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In this spirit, and with the object of evoking such an expression of sympathy as shall encourage the Emancipation party in the United States, in their most difficult position, to persevere in their endeavours to obtain justice for the Slave, the Committee issue the present address, earnestly commending
it to the favorable consideration of their fellow Countrymen, and to the friends of humanity in all lands. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On behalf of the Committee. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thomas Binns 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Chairman 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;S.A. Chamerovzow. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Secretary. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;27 New Broad St. E.C. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;London, 17th November 1862.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;His Excellency 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Abraham Lincoln, 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;President of the United States of America
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sir 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It has seemed desirable to the Committee of the British &amp;amp; Foreign Anti-Slavery Society, to issue as the present Crisis, an Address to the Friends of the Anti-Slavery Cause, of which a Copy is annexed. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In directing your attention to it, the Committee would take advantage of the opportunity to assure you of their personal respect and sympathy, &amp;amp; of their appreciation of the exceeding great difficulties of your position; - Since your accession to Office they have watched with deep interest, the progress of events, &amp;amp; especially the gradual development of a policy tending to promote Negro Emancipation. If certain measures in furtherance of that policy and some apparently inconsistent with it, have not recommended themselves to the approval of the Committee they have nevertheless recognized the majority of them with satisfaction as conducive, in the main, to the interests of the enslaved portion of the African race. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Committee earnestly desire that the sanguinary conflict between the 2 Sections of the Union
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;may cease, and that with the removal of the sole cause of this strife, a way may open for a reconciliation upon the enduring basis of a community of interests, and a mutual forgiveness of injuries.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;27 New Bond Street 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;E.C. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;London 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;17th. November 1862.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Nov. 17, 1862
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"The Crisis in the United States"
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;L.A. Chamerovzow

                <text>&lt;p&gt;To His Excellency
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Governor of the State of Illinois
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sir, 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have the honor on behalf of the Committee of the British &amp;amp; Foreign Anti-Slavery Society, to enclose, &amp;amp; to call your attention to, the copy of an Address which the Committee
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;have issued, with the object of evoking an expression of sympathy with those, in the United States of America, who are endeavouring to secure justice for the Slave I also beg to enclose the copy of a letter which the Committee have addressed to the President. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It would be gratifying to the Committee to learn, that you
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;had decided it desirable to bring this fact under the notice of your Council &amp;amp; the people of your State, and to assure them that the Sentiments expressed in the address, are those of the people of this country.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Excellency, 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yours very Respectfully 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;L.A. Chamerovzow
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Secy 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;27 New Broad St.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;E.C. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;London, 17th. Nov. 1862
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The crisis in the United States.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Address of the Committee of the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Committee of the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society, having observed, with the deepest sorrow, the efforts which are being made to infuse into the minds of the people of this Country, sentiments friendly to Slavery, feel it to be their duty to reiterate, and to commend to the serious consideration of their fellow Countrymen, the fundamental principle of the anti-slavery movement in England; that "Slave holding is a Sin and a Crime before God"; and therefore, that unconditional Emancipation, wherever Slavery is maintained, is alone consistent with the Divine Law, and with the requirements of justice and humanity. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;While the Committee believe that the efforts referred to, have not yet pervaded the 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;community at large, the tone and spirit of certain articles in a portion of the public press, the misrepresentation and perversion of facts, the biased addresses of many men of influence, all with the manifest tendency to bespeak favor for those who are contending for the extension and consolidation of Slavery, and to disparage and discourage efforts directed to its extinction, impress the Committee with the painful conviction, that in some quarters, a demoralizing effect has been produced. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Committee deplore, and regard with profound grief, the fratricidal conflict between the two sections of the American Union, but, while anxious to avoid expressing any opinion likely to be construed into an approval of a War policy, they regard it as established beyond disproof, that the South was not only the aggressor, but designedly provoked an armed contest with the United States' Government,
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;with the express, sole object of founding a Confederacy to perpetuate Slavery. On the other hand, the United States Government, embracing the political anti-slavery party of the North, commonly called the Republican party, has initiated and carried into effect, measures in furtherance of Negro emancipation, which entitle it to the sympathy of all true friends of freedom. It has enforced the Statutes against Slave trading, which former administrations, being pro-slavery, had allowed to become inoperative, and has prosecuted Slave traders to conviction and punishment; it has entered into a new anti-slave trade treaty with Great Britain, conceding a right of search, which former Government, overruled by the Southern party, had steadfastly refused; to promote the speedy settlement of the Territories, by a non Slave-holding population, it has enacted a Homestead Bill, giving a hundred and sixty acres of land to every immigrant, irrespective of his national origin; and moreover, carrying into effect the policy of Jefferson, ratified by Act of Congress in
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1789, it has prohibited slavery for ever, in those Territories, upon which issue alone, the Southern Candidate for the Presidency, was defeated at the election which immediately preceded the present rebellion; it has also abolished Slavery from the District of Columbia; it has virtually repealed the Fugitive Slave Act, by prohibiting the rendition of Slaves escaping from the rebel States, to the lines of the United States Army, providing compensation on account of such as may belong to loyal Citizens; it has recognized and entered into diplomatic relations with the Negro Republics of Liberia and Haiti; by the Confiscation Bill, considerably made non-retrospective, it, in effect, proclaimed emancipation to the Slaves in the rebel States, within a specified period; a majority in Congress has ratified the President's plan of compensated emancipation for such Slave States, as may elect to take advantage of it,
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;and only recently, the President has announced that the details of the measure will be submitted to the next Congress, with a view to its immediate practical application; 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;lastly, the President has lately issued a Proclamation, declaring absolutely and for ever free, all the Slaves in those States which shall be in rebellion on the 1st. of January next, and pointing to the measures in progress for the abolition of Slavery in the Loyal States, upon the principle of indemnification. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;While the Committee deprecate a resort to Arms, even with the avowed purpose of promoting the extinction of Slavery, they reiterate the opinion that the friends of the Slave, in the United States, under whatsoever designation, have established a just claim upon the sympathy of the friends of freedom throughout Europe.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In this spirit, and with the object of evoking such an expression of sympathy as shall encourage the Emancipation party in the United States, in their most difficult position, to persevere in their endeavours to obtain justice for the Slave, the Committee issue the present address, earnestly commending
it to the favorable consideration of their fellow Countrymen, and to the friends of humanity in all lands. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On behalf of the Committee. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thomas Binns 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Chairman 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;S.A. Chamerovzow. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Secretary. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;27 New Broad St. E.C. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;London, 17th November 1862.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;His Excellency 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Abraham Lincoln, 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;President of the United States of America
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sir 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It has seemed desirable to the Committee of the British &amp;amp; Foreign Anti-Slavery Society, to issue as the present Crisis, an Address to the Friends of the Anti-Slavery Cause, of which a Copy is annexed. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In directing your attention to it, the Committee would take advantage of the opportunity to assure you of their personal respect and sympathy, &amp;amp; of their appreciation of the exceeding great difficulties of your position; - Since your accession to Office they have watched with deep interest, the progress of events, &amp;amp; especially the gradual development of a policy tending to promote Negro Emancipation. If certain measures in furtherance of that policy and some apparently inconsistent with it, have not recommended themselves to the approval of the Committee they have nevertheless recognized the majority of them with satisfaction as conducive, in the main, to the interests of the enslaved portion of the African race. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Committee earnestly desire that the sanguinary conflict between the 2 Sections of the Union
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;may cease, and that with the removal of the sole cause of this strife, a way may open for a reconciliation upon the enduring basis of a community of interests, and a mutual forgiveness of injuries.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;27 New Bond Street 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;E.C. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;London 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;17th. November 1862.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Nov. 17, 1862
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"The Crisis in the United States"
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;L.A. Chamerovzow 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Secy. of the British &amp;amp; Foreign Anti Slavery Society. Enclosing an address entitled as above &amp;amp; letter to President.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;His Excellency
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gov Yates,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dr Sir, The States Atty for the 23d Judicial District died last week, and your Excellency will without doubt soon be called upon to appoint his successor.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Although I have my personal and official preferences, I do not Expect to Control or Exercise much influence in the appointment of his successor yet. I think I have the right to ask and do most Earnestly but respectfully ask that you will delay making any appointment until all the parties and all
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;the candidates can be fully and fairly heard by you
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I say this much as Expression of the feelings of a large and influential portion of the bar of the district
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Permit me to add that, we have had two Judicial Elections for Judge and States Atty in this district since it was formed, and at Each of these Elections both the Judge and State atty have been Elected from this Co (Marshall). And now I think it but right that &amp;amp; once one out of this Co should be appointed. Especially if a good man from Woodford or Putnam Counties offer as I know will be the Case
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Very Respectfully yours

                <text>&lt;p&gt;Lacon Ill
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Oct 10, 1861
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;His Excellency
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gov Yates,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dr Sir, The States Atty for the 23d Judicial District died last week, and your Excellency will without doubt soon be called upon to appoint his successor.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Although I have my personal and official preferences, I do not Expect to Control or Exercise much influence in the appointment of his successor yet. I think I have the right to ask and do most Earnestly but respectfully ask that you will delay making any appointment until all the parties and all
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;the candidates can be fully and fairly heard by you
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I say this much as Expression of the feelings of a large and influential portion of the bar of the district
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Permit me to add that, we have had two Judicial Elections for Judge and States Atty in this district since it was formed, and at Each of these Elections both the Judge and State atty have been Elected from this Co (Marshall). And now I think it but right that &amp;amp; once one out of this Co should be appointed. Especially if a good man from Woodford or Putnam Counties offer as I know will be the Case
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Very Respectfully yours
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;S S Richmond
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Judge 23d Judicial Circuit
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;23 Judical Dist
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dist Atty
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;S. S Richmon
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Oct 9/61
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(File)
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;App. for Civil Offices.
&lt;/p&gt;

                    <text>&lt;p&gt;[William Bowen letter]
Hospital No 13 Ward No 1 Nashvill Tenn     The grape seed is nearly all in my knapsack locked up in the Bagage room
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Nashville Oct 28th 1863
Dear Mother
I am still in Nashville where I wrote to you from on the 3d.  I hope you have recieved the letter by this time and in five days more I hope to hear from you  I am still getting better I believe  But the livering we get here will not strengthen any one very fast  We have two small pieces of Bread and a cup of coffee or tea and sometime a very small piece of Boiled beef and at other times a Spoonfull of molasses in place of beef
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2  I will tell you a shame-full fact.  I see men every meel with their bodies pierced in every discription with balls that have been faithful Soldiers over two years beg for more bread or any thing to satisfy their honger and they can have no more.
The question is ast a 100 times every meal won't you give a piece of bread and the answer is no..  All this is not the fault of the government but it is these paper collared villains that are getting rich out of those that have no more power than a dog to get their rights
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3  I should think nothing of it if we were in a place (as I have been) where it could not be had.  But here there is great abundance of rations and the only fault lies in these Hospital villains that get banded together to rob the sick and wounded.  I have money and can send out and get butter at [40?] cts a pound and can get along better than most here as but very few have any money.  I have not been out of the House yet since I came a there is guard all around it and we have to have a pass to get out and a pass is only given once in eleven days and sometimes not that often
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;4  I have just been drawing some new clotheing it is the first I have had this year  I have got a good pair of Boots and they only cost 2-88cts  They are Government Boots but apear to be very good  I have a new jacket and two pair of Socks so I am well clothed for this winter  I have twelve dollars comeing to me the next pay day for clotheing I did not draw last year that I was entitled to and this year I expect to have twenty five as I shall not draw near all my clotheing
I hope you will write
Direct Hospital No 13 Ward No 1 Nashvill Tenn

                  <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>

                  <text>The Temple Collection features images taken by the Wayne County Record newspaper staff. The newspaper, based in Fairfield, Illinois, ran from 1879-1961. John F. Temple and his brother, William, served as co-owners of the semiweekly publication from 1950 through 1961 when they sold the newspaper. After selling the Wayne County Record, John F. Temple went on to serve as editor of the Illinois Rural Electric News.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Photographs in this collection include images of people, places, and events in southern and central Illinois. Several photographs highlight life in Fairfield, Wayne City, and Mill Shoals including blood drives, holiday celebrations, and local school events.</text>

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Elvaston Ills.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sir:
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;No preparations are being made to send nurses to the field and if there was any required there is no fund from which I could draw to pay the expense as the State Treasurer refuses to pay on appropriations made by last Legislature for benefit of Sick and wounded Soldiers.  Surgeons of Hospitals employ nurses and you might [probably?] get employment by making application.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Very Respectfully
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Richd Yates
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Governor.

&lt;p&gt;No preparations are being made to send nurses to the field and if there was any required there is no fund from which I could draw to pay the expense as the State Treasurer refuses to pay on appropriations made by last Legislature for benefit of Sick and wounded Soldiers.

                  <text>Hermann Paepcke founded the Chicago Mill and Lumber Company in the 1880s. Originally begun as the Paepcke-Wagner Company operating as a small lumber mill, the business grew to include box-making operations. The company eventually became a major lumber distribution company in Chicago. In 1898 a second location in Greenville, Mississippi opened and operated as the Paepcke-Leicht Lumber Company through the 1920s. Additional locations opened in Blytheville and Helena, Arkansas, and Cairo, Illinois.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After Hermann Paepcke died in 1922, his son, Walter, took over the company. In 1926, Walter Paepcke merged the Container Corporation of America into the company, leading the company to become the largest paper container producer in the United States during the 1940s. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Chicago Mill and Lumber Company was purchased in 1965 and continued to operate from its Greenville, Mississippi, facility until 1980.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Photographs in this collection include images of the Chicago Mill and Lumber Company's business operations from cutting trees in the woods through the manufacture and shipment of paper, corrugated paperboard, and boxes.</text>

                  <text>Hermann Paepcke founded the Chicago Mill and Lumber Company in the 1880s. Originally begun as the Paepcke-Wagner Company operating as a small lumber mill, the business grew to include box-making operations. The company eventually became a major lumber distribution company in Chicago. In 1898 a second location in Greenville, Mississippi opened and operated as the Paepcke-Leicht Lumber Company through the 1920s. Additional locations opened in Blytheville and Helena, Arkansas, and Cairo, Illinois.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After Hermann Paepcke died in 1922, his son, Walter, took over the company. In 1926, Walter Paepcke merged the Container Corporation of America into the company, leading the company to become the largest paper container producer in the United States during the 1940s. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Chicago Mill and Lumber Company was purchased in 1965 and continued to operate from its Greenville, Mississippi, facility until 1980.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Photographs in this collection include images of the Chicago Mill and Lumber Company's business operations from cutting trees in the woods through the manufacture and shipment of paper, corrugated paperboard, and boxes.</text>

                  <text>Hermann Paepcke founded the Chicago Mill and Lumber Company in the 1880s. Originally begun as the Paepcke-Wagner Company operating as a small lumber mill, the business grew to include box-making operations. The company eventually became a major lumber distribution company in Chicago. In 1898 a second location in Greenville, Mississippi opened and operated as the Paepcke-Leicht Lumber Company through the 1920s. Additional locations opened in Blytheville and Helena, Arkansas, and Cairo, Illinois.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After Hermann Paepcke died in 1922, his son, Walter, took over the company. In 1926, Walter Paepcke merged the Container Corporation of America into the company, leading the company to become the largest paper container producer in the United States during the 1940s. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Chicago Mill and Lumber Company was purchased in 1965 and continued to operate from its Greenville, Mississippi, facility until 1980.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Photographs in this collection include images of the Chicago Mill and Lumber Company's business operations from cutting trees in the woods through the manufacture and shipment of paper, corrugated paperboard, and boxes.</text>

                  <text>Hermann Paepcke founded the Chicago Mill and Lumber Company in the 1880s. Originally begun as the Paepcke-Wagner Company operating as a small lumber mill, the business grew to include box-making operations. The company eventually became a major lumber distribution company in Chicago. In 1898 a second location in Greenville, Mississippi opened and operated as the Paepcke-Leicht Lumber Company through the 1920s. Additional locations opened in Blytheville and Helena, Arkansas, and Cairo, Illinois.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After Hermann Paepcke died in 1922, his son, Walter, took over the company. In 1926, Walter Paepcke merged the Container Corporation of America into the company, leading the company to become the largest paper container producer in the United States during the 1940s. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Chicago Mill and Lumber Company was purchased in 1965 and continued to operate from its Greenville, Mississippi, facility until 1980.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Photographs in this collection include images of the Chicago Mill and Lumber Company's business operations from cutting trees in the woods through the manufacture and shipment of paper, corrugated paperboard, and boxes.</text>
