Camp Butler PO April 25. 1862 Gov Yates Dear Sir Disappointed, in Consequence of the refusal of Col. Richardson to accept the position of Brig: Gen: tendered him by the President, in receiving a good place in the Army and determined to contribute my mite in aid of the cause to all of us most dear, within the last few weeks, I joined the 43rd Reg Ill Vol at Chicago and am now a Recruit at this place. Since being here I am led to believe there is a probability of my obtaining an appointment from Washington and desire that a sufficient amount of influence may be exerted, in addition to that already tendered, to render the object secure. A Governors influence is always valuable and yours I presume is particularly so, on account of the intimate social and political relations you hold with the President. <hr /> I therefor will consider it a special favor if you will write a brief letter to the President on the subject and enclose it in one to me, to go forward with other documents which may be sent. If, in the great multitude of your acquaintance, my name as been forgotten, I may remind you of several interviews last winter at the Ex. Mansions, during which you kindly tendered your good offices on my behalf, in the event of a position being vacant in your gift, which could be filled without serious prejudice to those already in the service. You may remember my having letters from a number of leading gentlemen in Quincy in addition to which I might now refer to many others in Civil and military life. The place I desire is that of Aid on the staff of a Brig. Gen. Excuse the prolixity of my letter and believe me Very Sincerely Your Friend Chs. Rowland <hr /> Chas.

Richardson to accept the position of Brig: Gen: tendered him by the President, in receiving a good place in the Army and determined to contribute my mite in aid of the cause to all of us most dear, within the last few weeks, I joined the 43rd Reg Ill Vol at Chicago and am now a Recruit at this place. Since being here I am led to believe there is a probability of my obtaining an appointment from Washington and desire that a sufficient amount of influence may be exerted, in addition to that already tendered, to render the object secure. A Governors influence is always valuable and yours I presume is particularly so, on account of the intimate social and political relations you hold with the President. <hr /> I therefor will consider it a special favor if you will write a brief letter to the President on the subject and enclose it in one to me, to go forward with other documents which may be sent. If, in the great multitude of your acquaintance, my name as been forgotten, I may remind you of several interviews last winter at the Ex. Mansions, during which you kindly tendered your good offices on my behalf, in the event of a position being vacant in your gift, which could be filled without serious prejudice to those already in the service. You may remember my having letters from a number of leading gentlemen in Quincy in addition to which I might now refer to many others in Civil and military life. The place I desire is that of Aid on the staff of a Brig. Gen. Excuse the prolixity of my letter and believe me Very Sincerely Your Friend Chs. Rowland <hr /> Chas.
