Illinois State Penitentiary Commissioner's Office. Joliet April 17th 1862 Hon Richard Yates Springfield Ills: Friend Yates I arrived here yesterday morning in good order, found Bergen & Powell waiting for me. I found it necessary today to communicate to Powell that it would gratify you if he would resign. He is very angry and is constantly cursing the State Officers, and proposes when he sees you, to give you a general [raking?] down. The trouble with him is he will talk before every body making foolish and criminal charges about the State Officers in public barrooms regardless of who may be present. He is thoughtless to a great extent. What effect his language may have upon those who are present. If he was competent and I do not know but what he is. A Quarter Master [lists?] with the new troops, would be <hr /> good position for him. If he should resign his position in this Board, appoint some good practical man who is your friend, and you will suit me. I have no person to recommend but will be satisfied in the matter whatever you may do. I hope to be at Springfield in the course of next week Truly & Fraternally Yours &c Ira A W Buck <hr /> Ira A.

Illinois State Penitentiary Commissioner's Office. Joliet April 17th 1862 Hon Richard Yates Springfield Ills: Friend Yates I arrived here yesterday morning in good order, found Bergen & Powell waiting for me. I found it necessary today to communicate to Powell that it would gratify you if he would resign. He is very angry and is constantly cursing the State Officers, and proposes when he sees you, to give you a general [raking?] down. The trouble with him is he will talk before every body making foolish and criminal charges about the State Officers in public barrooms regardless of who may be present. He is thoughtless to a great extent. What effect his language may have upon those who are present. If he was competent and I do not know but what he is. A Quarter Master [lists?] with the new troops, would be <hr /> good position for him. If he should resign his position in this Board, appoint some good practical man who is your friend, and you will suit me. I have no person to recommend but will be satisfied in the matter whatever you may do. I hope to be at Springfield in the course of next week Truly & Fraternally Yours &c Ira A W Buck <hr /> Ira A. W. Buck Joliet April 17/62. In reference to Powells Resignation - makes charges against state officers. Dr Buck as to Powell File Status The current transcription status of a document or a page.

Galesburg Ills Apr 19th 1862 Dear Governor I have just seen for the first time a copy of the corespondence between the committee of the late Constitutional Convention and my brother Eugene. I have also just seen a copy of the corespondence between yourself and my brother. I wonder that you did not mention the subject while we were together. I assure you that I knew nothing about it. I hasten to say that I disapprove in toto of the course pursued by him and that I have just written him to this effect. I regard his conduct as entirely unjustifyable and almost inexcusable. If the convention had possessed the power to have rendered his regiment any service whatsoever, his conduct would have appeared more reasonable. I hope for my sake that you will say no more on the subject than is neccessary. I wish however that you would show this letter to those officers associated with you in the administration of public afairs in all of whom I have the greatest confidence. Further than this please to regard this letter as confidencial. Truly Yours Clark E Carr Govnr Richard Yates <hr /> Clark E. Carr Galesburg April 19 His brothers letter to the Convention.

We have done our best to furnish good clothing in Justus to our selves, as well as to our good friends who interceded in our behalf, of who you are the principle one, having known us so long and placing so much confidence in our integrity. We have tried hard in fulfilling our contract to merit your good opinion of us, and in all things to come up to the standard of your recommendation of us. With regard to that noble patriot Gen. John Wood. If he feels satisfied that <hr /> that we have done Justus in our dealing with the Illinois and if he should determine upon the necessity of your troops being furnished summer clothing say a good article of Blue Flannell for Blouses, perhaps a kind word in our behalf from you would obtain for us an order to make them.

Chicago April 21. 1862. Hon Richard Yates Governor Dear Sir, I have been making an effort on behalf of a young man, Charles H. Machin, of Taylor's Battery with the view of getting for him a commission in the Regular Army, but I am informed by correspondence between Mr Arnold & the Sec of War that promotion from volunteer service cannot be made to the regular service, but "promotion in the service should be made only in the respective branch" and no transfers can be made. Machin was in the battle of Belmont & Donelson & was wounded at the latter place, & were it not for the "absolute rule" he would have a commission in the Regular Service. I forwarded to Mr Arnold letters from Capt. Taylor & some of our best Citizens in behalf of Machin, which seemed to be satisfactory & sufficient, for the purpose but of coures the rule stood in the way. I wish to ask you if there would be any prospect for his promotion in the volunteer service of Illinois provided I can <hr /> satisfy you as I did Mr Arnold & Mr Stanton that he was worthy! He is a lawyer by profession, was wounded at Donelsen at the close of the engagement on Saturday, after having marched from Fort Henry & stood by his gun all through the battle. He also behaved well at Belmont. He sought a Lieutenancy in the Regular Army & prefers the Artillery service. He was partially promised a position on Gen Quimby's staff before the Genl left Rochester; but that appointment is uncertain I am not advised what your practice is in regard to promotions.
