Needs Review Transcription A written representation of a document or a page. Camp near Harrison's Landing James River Va. July. 17th 1862. To his Excellency Gov Richard Yates Dear Sir. It is now one year since, I entered the service of the United States; as 7th Senior Captain of Col Baxter's Philada Fire Zouaves (72d Regmt [Pa Vols?]) and have been in all the battles in which the Army of the Potomac have been engaged. The slight chance which I have here for promotion (no matter how meritorious) induces me to ask the personal favor, that you will please write to Gov Curtin also to the War Dept to allow me the privilege to proceed to Philadelphia to assist in raising the new Regmts now in formation in that City. As I think from the influence which I can bring <hr /> to bear that I can be elected a Major or Lieut Colonel. Having some experience I feel myself perfectly competent, to fill such a position and certainly more so than a green hand unable to handle a squad of men, much less a battalion. Hoping I do not impose too much on your often expressed desire to serve me. I remain Most Respectfully Your Obt Servant Isaac McBride Cap Co F 72d Regmt P.V. P.S. My address is Isaac McBride Capt Co F. 72d Regmt PV Burn's Brigade Sedgwick's Division Fortress Monroe VA, My respects to Martin H Cassell <hr /> Aug 28 Capt Isaac McBride Co F. 72d Reg. Penn Vols Harrisons Landing July 17. 62 Desires Gov Yates to ask Gov Curtin that he (McB) have permission to go to Philadelphia to assist in organizing a new Reg. Thinks he would be thus enabled to get a Majority or the Lieut Colonelcy. Refer to Gov Curtin with strong endorsement of McBride who resides in Philada – an experienced & capable officer – & would consider personal favor if he would give him chance &c & write McBride I have written.

Waverly, Ill July 17th, 1862 Gov. Yates: Dear Sir: This will introduce to your Excellency George W. Rofs, Commissary Sargent of 32nd Regiment Ill Volunteers, and son of Col. John W. Rofs of the same Regiment, who fell at Shiloh. He was sent home, immediately after that battle, more dead than alive, with the prevailing disease of the camps. When Col. Logan was home George visited him and after stating his case was advised by the Colonel to apply for a discharge - the Colonel kindly promising to procure one for <hr /> for him, and telling him to remain at home in the meantime to recruit his health for some other employment. Assured in this manner, George felt virtually discharged, and gave himself no further uneasiness upon the subject; and as his health improved, proceed to lay his plans in a civic direction. Today, he is unexpectedly informed by letter that his presence is necessary to pass with the regiment, to be passed upon by the Brigade Surgeon, if unfit for service, or to take his place in the line. He nor his friends have the slightest objection to the stern behests of military rule; but George is poor, has not received any pay for a long time, and be <hr /> ing absent without a furlough is required to pay his way back to Tennessee. Your Excellency doubtless has discretionary power in these matters, and we appeal with confidence to one whose generosity to the soldier is proverbial in every Western camp. You were well acquainted with his father, whose heroic death was a fitting climax to a pure and patriotic life, and it will be needless for us to say how worthily any favor you show George will be bestowed.

Quincy Ill July 17 A D 1862 To His Excellency Richard Yates Springfield Ills. Dr Governor. I received this morning your proclamation & letter to the President. I troubled you with a line a day or two ago expressing among other things my gratitude to you for your letter to Mr Lincoln. I noticed in your proclamation that you call for nine regiment of Infantry for three years Service being a part of the quota of this State under the call of the President for 300,000 men. I do not know, but I have heretofore supposed that Illinois, in the comparison with other states and in respect to her due proportion of the whole number of troops raised was ahead. Now Governor, "it doth not appear yet what we Shall be" before this war is over. My examinations and investigations and in this region they have been considerable lead to the conviction that we have about two republican Soldiers in the field to one heretofore democrat. I believe it will hold good in the whole State and in each and every State. I may be very much mistaken but this is my judgment. I fear that those young men of democratic tendency who have thus far kept out of the War, staying at home to vote, will not now come forward to volunteer and that these nine regiments will fall on to the republicans almost alone. - besides as our Governor and our Great Father, you must see to it that young Illinois Shall not [conndined?] in default at least whilst She is really ahead. In point of fact wont these nine new Regiments put Illinois even with her quota including the 300,000: if so you will I doubt not see to it that She is put right on the record - <hr /> If this war is carried on as heretofore by The U States - Whilst Conscription is adopted in the United States, and with the aid of at least the brute force of 4,000,000 of slaves against us - We Shall need some men at home, And being the most exposed of all the States to attack from rebeldom. Let us see that whilst Illinois raises up to her quota that because She is Mr Lincolns State, She is not to be made the pack horse of the war, as to a great extent she has been. I have desired from the first tap of the drum to be in this war - but being Subject to rheumatic attacks and all the ills of bad Kidney, I fear I should get sick and either die in hospital or have to go home. I think I would make a good Colonel, though I know now nothing of Strictly military matters - I am not a candidate and if there is any place where you think I might be useful and better than the man who offers I will try it on.

Quincy Ill July 17 A D 1862 To His Excellency Richard Yates Springfield Ills. Dr Governor. I received this morning your proclamation & letter to the President. I troubled you with a line a day or two ago expressing among other things my gratitude to you for your letter to Mr Lincoln. I noticed in your proclamation that you call for nine regiment of Infantry for three years Service being a part of the quota of this State under the call of the President for 300,000 men. I do not know, but I have heretofore supposed that Illinois, in the comparison with other states and in respect to her due proportion of the whole number of troops raised was ahead. Now Governor, "it doth not appear yet what we Shall be" before this war is over. My examinations and investigations and in this region they have been considerable lead to the conviction that we have about two republican Soldiers in the field to one heretofore democrat. I believe it will hold good in the whole State and in each and every State. I may be very much mistaken but this is my judgment. I fear that those young men of democratic tendency who have thus far kept out of the War, staying at home to vote, will not now come forward to volunteer and that these nine regiments will fall on to the republicans almost alone. - besides as our Governor and our Great Father, you must see to it that young Illinois Shall not [conndined?] in default at least whilst She is really ahead. In point of fact wont these nine new Regiments put Illinois even with her quota including the 300,000: if so you will I doubt not see to it that She is put right on the record - <hr /> If this war is carried on as heretofore by The U States - Whilst Conscription is adopted in the United States, and with the aid of at least the brute force of 4,000,000 of slaves against us - We Shall need some men at home, And being the most exposed of all the States to attack from rebeldom. Let us see that whilst Illinois raises up to her quota that because She is Mr Lincolns State, She is not to be made the pack horse of the war, as to a great extent she has been. I have desired from the first tap of the drum to be in this war - but being Subject to rheumatic attacks and all the ills of bad Kidney, I fear I should get sick and either die in hospital or have to go home. I think I would make a good Colonel, though I know now nothing of Strictly military matters - I am not a candidate and if there is any place where you think I might be useful and better than the man who offers I will try it on. I am only 52 years of age though I am told I look older. We have no news here to day.
