&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir, learning that there is some prospect of promotion for Capt. James Rainey of the Ill, 15th, Regt, I cheerfully, &amp;amp; without solicitation on his part give him this humble note of approval.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Having been tolerably intimate with him during our long campaign through Missouri, &amp;amp; Tennessee, I have a most favorable opinion of his soldier like conduct &amp;amp; moral character.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Of his knowledge in Tactics &amp;amp; Military strategy, others will doubtless inform you who are Judges of it, but I heartily commend him as a consistent, practical man.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The annexed article was written at my request by my friend Wane of the Phila. Press, who is temporarily editing the Bulletin. As it will do to republish in Illinois papers I have sent you three copies of the paper.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The fact concerning our boys with Curtis, was told me yesterday by Gen Osterhaus. It certainly must be some satisfaction to you to know that your Efforts in behalf of the soldiers have been attended by such favorable results.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have also attended to it in the Associated Press despatch which will appear in the Chicago &amp;amp; St Louis papers of Friday or Saturday morning. I enclose you a copy of it as sent from here to the telegraph office at Cairo.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Respy, Your obdt svt
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;John Belzer
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Nothing from Commissioners. I am watching Curtis' Illinois men.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;From Associated Press Report.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Officers of Gen Curtis' Army, represent that, with the Exception of those from Illinois, his troops are suffering greatly for want of clothing &amp;amp;c, many of them being without coats or shoes. The Illinois soldiers are thoroughly supplied with clothing, medicines &amp;amp; surgical &amp;amp; sanitary stores which were provided for them through the efforts of Gov Yates and the state officers before they Entered the field. Illinoisans speak in highest terms of the care which has been taken of them by the authorities of their state in whose praise they are Eloquent, while they are the Envy of the troops from other western states"

Very Dear Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The bearer, W. F. DeWolf Esq., an old and highly respected citizen of Chicago, is desirous of a position in the Federal army under the recent call of the President for three hundred thousand volunteers.  Those who best know Mr DeWolf believe him to be well qualified both by national endorsement, by education and by business habits, to command a regiment, and it will be a source of high gratification to his numerous friends, and I doubt not of advantage to the cause of the Government also, should you find it consistent to give him that position.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Of Mr DeWolfs loyalty it is unnecessary for me to say more than that he is the father of the late Lieut. DeWolf of the regular army, of whom heroic conduct at Belmont, at Donelson and at Williamsburg we are, as Illinoisans, so justly proud, and whose untimely death, from wounds received at the last-named engagement, we so greatly deplore.  Having laid his noble boy as a sacrifice upon the altar of his country, he is now ready to take the field himself and, if need be, to lay down his own life in defence of the government.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hoping Mr DeWolf may be successful in the object of his visit
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;to Springfield, I am
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With high respect
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Very Truly Yours
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;J. L. Scripps
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
His Excellency, 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Richard Yates 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Governor of Illinois.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
J. L. Scripps
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Chicago 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;July 16.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Recommending Wm F Dwolf,

Very Dear Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The bearer, W. F. DeWolf Esq., an old and highly respected citizen of Chicago, is desirous of a position in the Federal army under the recent call of the President for three hundred thousand volunteers.  Those who best know Mr DeWolf believe him to be well qualified both by national endorsement, by education and by business habits, to command a regiment, and it will be a source of high gratification to his numerous friends, and I doubt not of advantage to the cause of the Government also, should you find it consistent to give him that position.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Of Mr DeWolfs loyalty it is unnecessary for me to say more than that he is the father of the late Lieut. DeWolf of the regular army, of whom heroic conduct at Belmont, at Donelson and at Williamsburg we are, as Illinoisans, so justly proud, and whose untimely death, from wounds received at the last-named engagement, we so greatly deplore.  Having laid his noble boy as a sacrifice upon the altar of his country, he is now ready to take the field himself and, if need be, to lay down his own life in defence of the government.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hoping Mr DeWolf may be successful in the object of his visit
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;to Springfield, I am
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With high respect
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Very Truly Yours
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;J. L. Scripps
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
His Excellency, 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Richard Yates 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Governor of Illinois.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
J. L. Scripps
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Chicago 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;July 16.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Recommending Wm F Dwolf,
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir:
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I would respectfully recommend &amp;amp; suggest Mr. Frederick Fries of Jacksonville to be sutler of your Regiment. he is an influential German very intelligent &amp;amp; of good business habits &amp;amp; John Brensing Republican Home at Belleville Ills will be his partner. I have known Fries for some time, is honest &amp;amp; Capable, &amp;amp; one of the leading men among the Germans of his Section. I have every confidence in his integrity &amp;amp; qualifications for this position, and have no hesitation in highly recommending him to your notice. You cannot get a better man, let me hear from you soon.
