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.

Effingham, Ills, Jan 1/64 Hon. Francis A Hoffmann Chicago, Ills Sir My son, Charles Nolte, a boy but 15 years old, of very light complexion blue eyes, & very light flaxen hair, of rather tall but slender & weak forms for a boy of his age, very quick & forward spoken and easily noticed on that account, was most shamefully kidnapped, mustered into the United States service and shipped <hr /> off as a private to the 17th Illinois Cavalry Regiment now forming at St Charles, near Chicago, by a couple of most villainous & unscrupulous recruiting officers belonging to said Regiment & whose names are believed to be Capt Davis & Lieutenant Hamilton, this being the only authentic & reliable account that has reached me, of the fate of my son & verified by concurring statements from a number of respectable men at Mattoon. You may readily imagine my deep & terrible sorrow when I heard what fate had befallen my son. Were it not for the late decision by the Attorney General which is to this effect that the suspension of the Writ of the Habeas Corpus did also apply to the case of minors <hr /> enlisted in the Army, I should at once have gone to St Charles & with a Writ of Habeas Corpus demanded the Release of my son. As it is, I am entirely powerless and unable to do anything for the release of my dearly beloved son by whose loss my family & my once happy home has been filled with the deepest sorrow & affliction. I cannot obtain the release of my son except through the kind interference of those whose voice is of weight & authority & sure to be respected even by those who committed this most lawless & dastardly act; and I should accordingly have applied to Governor Yates for the immediate release of my son, but being entirely unacquainted with him thought I had better apply to you first & see whether <hr /> you would be so kind as to lend me the weight of your influence in this matter, and by so doing save a wretched boy from impending ruin and his disconsolate parents from despair. I need not assure you, Sir, that whatever you will do for me in this matter, will be most gratefully remembered as long as I live, and that my warmest regard & friendship & all that I have & possess, is sure never to fail him who will have rendered such an all important service to a well nigh heartbroken father. You will please, Sir, to excuse the feelings, accept the assurance of the highest esteem of &, I trust, do everything in your power for Yours most truly Caspar Nolte.

Effingham, Ills, Jan 1/64 Hon. Francis A Hoffmann Chicago, Ills Sir My son, Charles Nolte, a boy but 15 years old, of very light complexion blue eyes, & very light flaxen hair, of rather tall but slender & weak forms for a boy of his age, very quick & forward spoken and easily noticed on that account, was most shamefully kidnapped, mustered into the United States service and shipped <hr /> off as a private to the 17th Illinois Cavalry Regiment now forming at St Charles, near Chicago, by a couple of most villainous & unscrupulous recruiting officers belonging to said Regiment & whose names are believed to be Capt Davis & Lieutenant Hamilton, this being the only authentic & reliable account that has reached me, of the fate of my son & verified by concurring statements from a number of respectable men at Mattoon. You may readily imagine my deep & terrible sorrow when I heard what fate had befallen my son. Were it not for the late decision by the Attorney General which is to this effect that the suspension of the Writ of the Habeas Corpus did also apply to the case of minors <hr /> enlisted in the Army, I should at once have gone to St Charles & with a Writ of Habeas Corpus demanded the Release of my son. As it is, I am entirely powerless and unable to do anything for the release of my dearly beloved son by whose loss my family & my once happy home has been filled with the deepest sorrow & affliction. I cannot obtain the release of my son except through the kind interference of those whose voice is of weight & authority & sure to be respected even by those who committed this most lawless & dastardly act; and I should accordingly have applied to Governor Yates for the immediate release of my son, but being entirely unacquainted with him thought I had better apply to you first & see whether <hr /> you would be so kind as to lend me the weight of your influence in this matter, and by so doing save a wretched boy from impending ruin and his disconsolate parents from despair. I need not assure you, Sir, that whatever you will do for me in this matter, will be most gratefully remembered as long as I live, and that my warmest regard & friendship & all that I have & possess, is sure never to fail him who will have rendered such an all important service to a well nigh heartbroken father. You will please, Sir, to excuse the feelings, accept the assurance of the highest esteem of &, I trust, do everything in your power for Yours most truly Caspar Nolte.

Jacoby Collection Subject The topic of the resource Jacob, Casper J., 1855- Retail trade Illinois--Alton Stores, Retail Furniture Description An account of the resource Casper J. (or C. J.) Jacoby was born in 1855, one of eleven children of Henry and Katherine Peiter Jacoby of Brighton, Illinois. C. J. Jacoby attended public schools in Brighton and Central Wesleyan College in Warrenton, Missouri.  He became a country school teacher, but after a year gave up that career to become a traveling salesman.   In 1883 he established the first Jacoby store in Bunker Hill, combining furniture sales with undertaking.  His store soon offered carpets, wallpaper, pianos, organs, and sewing machines in addition to furniture.  In 1891 C. J., along with four brothers, Philip W., Henry C., Louis C. and William C., initiated a stock company; and in 1892 they established a second store in Jerseyville, Illinois.  Operating under the name Jacoby Brothers, the furniture and undertaking business provided a source of employment for the Jacoby siblings, with Louis Jacoby becoming the manager of the Jerseyville store. In 1897, C. J. Jacoby opened a store in Alton.  C. J. left the management of the Jacoby Brothers’ stores in Bunker Hill and Jerseyville to his brothers, and began to operate the Alton store under the name of C. J. Jacoby and Company.  This store became the largest of the Jacoby stores.  In 1904 the store located itself at 627-629 East Second Street.  In 1925 Jacoby purchased the Alton Laundry Company building and the Dr. Wuellner building, which were next to each other on Broadway in Alton.  In November of 1930, a modern three story store was opened at the Broadway location.  In addition to the three furniture stores established, a fourth was opened in 1920 in Wood River.  Jacoby also purchased the Alton Hardware Company in 1917, which continued to operate as a hardware concern. He married Anna D. Lippoldt (1858-1929) in 1882, also the child of German immigrants.  Together they had eight children: Oscar K. (1885-1905), Clara H., Effie F., Edwin L., Philip W., Caspar J., Jr., Verneda and Anna.  All the Jacoby children attended Central Wesleyan College.  Edwin, Philip and Caspar, Jr. inherited the operation of the Alton Store from their father as he entered retirement.  As of 1985, the grandchildren of C. J. Jacoby continued to operate the Alton store at 627 West Broadway. The Jacoby family donated the Broadway location the the Madison County Arts Council for use as the Jacoby Arts Center, which opened in 2004. The finding aid for the C. J.

Jacoby Collection Subject The topic of the resource Jacob, Casper J., 1855- Retail trade Illinois--Alton Stores, Retail Furniture Description An account of the resource Casper J. (or C. J.) Jacoby was born in 1855, one of eleven children of Henry and Katherine Peiter Jacoby of Brighton, Illinois. C. J. Jacoby attended public schools in Brighton and Central Wesleyan College in Warrenton, Missouri.  He became a country school teacher, but after a year gave up that career to become a traveling salesman.   In 1883 he established the first Jacoby store in Bunker Hill, combining furniture sales with undertaking.  His store soon offered carpets, wallpaper, pianos, organs, and sewing machines in addition to furniture.  In 1891 C. J., along with four brothers, Philip W., Henry C., Louis C. and William C., initiated a stock company; and in 1892 they established a second store in Jerseyville, Illinois.  Operating under the name Jacoby Brothers, the furniture and undertaking business provided a source of employment for the Jacoby siblings, with Louis Jacoby becoming the manager of the Jerseyville store. In 1897, C. J. Jacoby opened a store in Alton.  C. J. left the management of the Jacoby Brothers’ stores in Bunker Hill and Jerseyville to his brothers, and began to operate the Alton store under the name of C. J. Jacoby and Company.  This store became the largest of the Jacoby stores.  In 1904 the store located itself at 627-629 East Second Street.  In 1925 Jacoby purchased the Alton Laundry Company building and the Dr. Wuellner building, which were next to each other on Broadway in Alton.  In November of 1930, a modern three story store was opened at the Broadway location.  In addition to the three furniture stores established, a fourth was opened in 1920 in Wood River.  Jacoby also purchased the Alton Hardware Company in 1917, which continued to operate as a hardware concern. He married Anna D. Lippoldt (1858-1929) in 1882, also the child of German immigrants.  Together they had eight children: Oscar K. (1885-1905), Clara H., Effie F., Edwin L., Philip W., Caspar J., Jr., Verneda and Anna.  All the Jacoby children attended Central Wesleyan College.  Edwin, Philip and Caspar, Jr. inherited the operation of the Alton Store from their father as he entered retirement.  As of 1985, the grandchildren of C. J. Jacoby continued to operate the Alton store at 627 West Broadway. The Jacoby family donated the Broadway location the the Madison County Arts Council for use as the Jacoby Arts Center, which opened in 2004. The finding aid for the C. J.
