Jacksonville April 20 1861 To his Excellency Gov Yates Dear Sir, you know our old friend and neighbor Mr Eno, You know how he became reduced by his unfortunate speculation in wheat: He was in some prospect of righting his misfortunes by the manufacture of Agl tools as I had hoped: but the peculiar exigency of the times has compelled him to defer that enterprise for a time and thus thrown his two Sons Edward and Henry out of employ and brought the family into a condition of almost entire destitution, for the present. Now I had thought that you could probably give them some agency, or clerkship, or employment in providing for the present necessities of the public service; They could not properly enlist as soldiers, as it would take them from the family, who are dependant daily on their aid: <pre>If you could secure for them some such service, either in connexion with the army or otherwise, I believe the boys would be faithful and prompt in the discharge of their duty and you would confer a great favor on a needy & worthy family, as well </pre> <hr /> as on myself: for I feel a deep interest in their present condition: as their necessities are urgent, and they must engage at once in something for the support of their family, if possible. will you not drop me a line on receipt of this and let me know whether there is any prospect that you can secure them any such position, or to whom they should apply, in order to secure it, if not within your power to grant: Yours Truly J.B. Turner P.S. Since writing the above I learn that Edward Eno has enlisted in the army; He is a good penman & Engineer and something of a Drafts man: could keep accounts or do any sort of business correctly & will make a good soldier but would better fill some more responsible post in harmony with his superior practical and theoretical education: can you secure him such a post? as above JBT J.B.

(Confidential) Cobden, Union Co. Ills April 21st 1861 To his Excellency, Governor Yates: Dear Sir - We write you at the urgent request of several of our Republican Citizens, to make a statement of our condition with regard to the war troubles of the country. There are about twenty families of decided Republican character in this immediate neighborhood - most of them fruit cultivators who have emigrated here from the North - who are threatened with serious difficulty. Union is perhaps the most intensely Pro-Slavery county in the State. Many of the most active and <hr /> influential Democrats are heartily in sympathy with the rebel States. They are maddened by the present attitude and activity of the Federal Government, and would gladly reek their vengeance on such Republicans within their reach as have assisted to establish it. Many of them swear that they will drive out every free Negro and "Black Republican" from the county. They only two days ago kidnapped two free colored men in this village and without any pretense of legal authority took them to one of the adjoining Slave States. The open denunciation of this outrage by some of our citizens has added to the hatred with which they regard Northern men. There are many desperate characters <hr /> hereabouts who would be prompt to engage in any affray that promised plunder - Especially if it should receive the countenance of influential men. Well, it is a fine country, and we propose to stay in it. We are not frightened. We cannot be intimidated simply by threats. We hope that no such mad enterprise will be undertaken. But we believe that our lives and property are in danger. We are mostly without arms. None of us are properly prepared for defence in such an emergency. Many of us cannot just now command the means to equip properly. We want Sharp's Rifles and Revolvers. We are in the midst of an ex cited community, and we are a <hr /> small minority, so that the most effective weapons of defence are indispensable if any are needed. Is it within the policy of the State to supply any exposed communities with the means of defence? If so can we have any help? If so please inform us that we may take roper precautions in regard to shipment Of course it would be highly impolitic, situated as we are to organize a military company - We must quietly and secretly prepare for the defence of our own firesides. Hence we wish to conduct this matter with proper caution. Of course any arms that may be furnished [on side: P. Earle ansd] <hr /> 5 us will be receipted for, and subject to the order of the Executive. Permit a suggestion. We see it stated that a large military force will be stationed at Cairo It is felt here that a few hundred of them stationed at Jonesboro, our county Seat, would have a very healthful influence in the community. That town is the head-quarters of Secessionism in Illinois. Execrations of our Government are said to be loud & frequent in that "nest of rebels". We are reliably informed that prominent men there have sworn to tear up the Central RR in case any troops are attempted to be shipped South on it, to Cairo or below - It is scarcely necessary to request that this communication <hr /> be regarded as purely confidential, & witheld entirely from the the public - Our lives would be hazarded by its circulation in this community. Truly yours for American Liberty Parker Earle Chas Colby P.S. For precaution (our P.M. says the Montgomery Government is the only true one) we send this under cover [to?] my friend Mr Hawley, Of whom you can inquire with regard to myself.

Yates Governor of Ills Respected Sir, Your proclamation calling for volunteers creates great excitement here; the Sheriff has posted his notice responding to your Call, but it is well known his feelings and sympathies are with the South. All the Civil Officers are more or less tainted with secession, and many of the people do not conceal their determination to prevent the formation of companies in this county. We are expecting disturbances on this account on the coming 27th inst. The Democrats of this place have called a meeting, and have passed a resolution pledging to prevent an invasion on the South by the North. At this time, would it not be well to have all the Officers to take the oath to stand by the Constitution, or give place to those who will do so. The supporters of the government form a small but respectable minority here; come what will, they wish to see the Stars and Stripes forever floating in the breese as their country's flag.
