Rockford Oct. 12. 1861. Hon Allen C. Fuller. Dear Sir Yours of 8th inst reached me yesterday. I had just written you on another subject directing my letter to Belvide, but I presume it will reach you in due time. When I first suggested to the Govr. the idea of my undertaking to form a regiment, there were three companies enlisting here and there seemed to be a pretty general expressed opinion that if I would take hold of the matter, a regiment could be got up in this vicinity in a very short time. I have no doubt that I might then have succeeded very Easily, but those companies have since united with other regiments. it would be much more uncertain now. It is very possible, & indeed very probably that another regiment can be collected here in a reasonable time, & as near as I can judge, very few persons in this section would be more likely to succeed, than myself but I think it scarcely worth while for me to undertake it on condition. I have no desire to act in the matter, merely for the sake of making a figure; I did not ask or expect the Gov. to give me an appointment merely to gratify or benefit me; unless the condition of the country is such as to make it apparent that I might be useful beyond peradventure. I do not conceive it to be my duty to engage in that direction Very Truly Yours Jason Marsh <hr /> Jason Marsh. Rockford No Answer. Status The current transcription status of a document or a page.

Oct. 16. 1861 Dear Governor, Permit me to say, that there is a deal of uneasiness amongst our Union people here caused by persons from Mo. opening recruiting offices pretendedly to fill up Companies in our regiments at Cape Girardeau and elswhere. I have Strong grounds for believing that most of these men are traitors, and that they are making up recruits for the rebel Service; and getting information which may annoy us in the future. I Suggest, that no man or Officer, unless well known, ought be allowed to enlist a man in this region unless authorized by you to do so. Men have been here and across the State to the Wabash, whose conduct has been most suspicious. The pretended Union feeling exhibited, it is feared, is only a delusion, and that at last the K's, G.
