Dep. of the West Oct 31 1861 Dear Sir The Regiment under my command (4th Kansas) has never been able to fill its ranks or companies in consequence of the inability of our state to furnish men enough for its several Regiments. Upon consultation with Col. Palmer, I have concluded to write you with a view to obtain your consent and aid in getting companies from Illinois. I am told that there are many scattered companies in the State not belonging to any regular Regimental organization. I of course could not expect to obtain them to the exclusion of Illinoisians from the officers. Fortunately my regiment is so situated that all the Field and Staff offices are vacant except my own (Colonel) and the adjutant - thought the latter could I think be made vacant. I have now some 400 men including a small battery and Co. of Cavalry attached. I also think the companies could be so amal- <hr /> gamated as to leave room for the introduction of at least 4 or 5 more. My anxiety to fill up the Regiment to the maximum is such that I would be willing to transfer it to your hands if it would be necessary in order to have it filled. We possess now some advantages not perhaps enjoyed by any other - to wit - that of being empowered to have mustered into U.S. service companies with less than the minimum number of rank and file. This is under a special order of the War Department. [Commands] have also been made specially by the same by which it will be completely armed and equipped. I present to you this proposition and would respectfully request an answer as to your views. Should yhou feel inclined to gratify me, I leave the terms [illegible] to yourself. I do not know that I can present any greater inducements than those in your own power to offer to the companies. But being an Illinoisan myself I know of no other state to which I could so confidently resort at that from which I came - if the project met your approval. Please favor me with an early answer - My address will of <hr /> of course be in the field" via Tipton Missouri or perhaps better to care of Col. Palmer. Respectfully Your Obt. Servt. Wm Weer His Excellency Richard Yates Gov. of Illinois <hr /> Wm Weer (4th Kansas) Camp Au Revoir Oct 31 '61 - Wishes for permission to fill up regiment with Ill comps Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Dep. of the West Oct 31 1861 Dear Sir The Regiment under my command (4th Kansas) has never been able to fill its ranks or companies in consequence of the inability of our state to furnish men enough for its several Regiments. Upon consultation with Col. Palmer, I have concluded to write you with a view to obtain your consent and aid in getting companies from Illinois. I am told that there are many scattered companies in the State not belonging to any regular Regimental organization. I of course could not expect to obtain them to the exclusion of Illinoisians from the officers. Fortunately my regiment is so situated that all the Field and Staff offices are vacant except my own (Colonel) and the adjutant - thought the latter could I think be made vacant. I have now some 400 men including a small battery and Co. of Cavalry attached. I also think the companies could be so amal- <hr /> gamated as to leave room for the introduction of at least 4 or 5 more. My anxiety to fill up the Regiment to the maximum is such that I would be willing to transfer it to your hands if it would be necessary in order to have it filled. We possess now some advantages not perhaps enjoyed by any other - to wit - that of being empowered to have mustered into U.S. service companies with less than the minimum number of rank and file. This is under a special order of the War Department. [Commands] have also been made specially by the same by which it will be completely armed and equipped. I present to you this proposition and would respectfully request an answer as to your views. Should yhou feel inclined to gratify me, I leave the terms [illegible] to yourself. I do not know that I can present any greater inducements than those in your own power to offer to the companies. But being an Illinoisan myself I know of no other state to which I could so confidently resort at that from which I came - if the project met your approval. Please favor me with an early answer - My address will of <hr /> of course be in the field" via Tipton Missouri or perhaps better to care of Col. Palmer. Respectfully Your Obt. Servt.

Needs Review Transcription A written representation of a document or a page. Cheney House Friday Nov 1st 1861 Hon. R. Yates [Present?] Dear Sir! I was very sorry to learn this morning, that you had had a relapse and could receive no visitors. I trust that the unfortunate accident will not prove to be a serious one and for the interest if the people of the State I hope for your speedy recovery. Gen. Mather has had no communication from Gen. Sherman. So we are entirely in the dark in regard to this matter. I saw some of the officers of the Hecker Regiment. They of course tell their own story. I do not impeach the integrity of all of the officers, but certainly the proof is extant, that some of them are mere loafers. The majority are willing to resign, if Col. Hecker will set them right before <hr />the Public in regard to their honor. Some are willing to leave the Regiment, if they can take their companies with them, which of course would break up the 24th of Ill. Volunteers. I am acting in this whole matter out of a very deep sense of duty to an old and tried friend, who bears one the most resplendent names in the annals of the German Nation. I am not well enough informed in regard to the difficulties in the Regiment, to be able, to give any advice and counsel as to the best course to be pursued. Col. Hecker may have committed errors, he even may have sinned against the Army Regulations, although I am inclined to think he did not; I do not know what errors he committed, neither am I here to palliate them, but I will vouch for the purity of his motives and his ardent patriotism. He is not the man to say behind the back of any man, what <hr />he would not say to his face -- there may be an error there in these times, but I am more inclined to respect and like such a character, than to blame him. I do not know, what you may have to do in this unpleasant affair, as Gen. Shermans communication has not yet been received. I know you never prejudge a man and the "audiatur et altera pars" forms to my judgment a trait of your character. All I want to know to-day is, if I shall send Col. Hecker on to Springfield, in order to lay his grievances before you; the complaints of the officers you will certainly learn before his arrival. The question of the difficulties in the 24th Regiment is a serious one. The German press, East, West, and North unanimously side with the old leader. His past services to the <hr />Republican party, his gallant campaign in 1856 as an elector at large, his efforts last year for you ad Mr Lincoln are not yet forgotten. All I ask for him is fair hearing and I hope Gen. Mather will bring me word from you, if he shall come or not. I hope you excuse the trouble I cause. I am already under obligations to you, but I hope there may be a time, when, although in a humble way I may be able to show to you that I am truly your friend Caspar Butz. In haste.
