Fairbury Livingston Co Ill July 17 1862 Governor Yates - Dear Sir - As one of the people I take the liberty to thank you for your patriotic address to the President. Unless our rulers are aroused to put forth all the power of the nation at once we are ruined as a nation forever. Mr. Lincoln is a great & good man, but he does not seem to comprehend the awful crisis that is upon the nation. The plain fact is she is even now trembling in the balance between life & death. Yet not one half her powers have been brought into the contest. Mr Lincoln should raise two men where is raising one, and he could & should make ten gun boats where they are now making one. They alone could save us from foreign intervention. But enough of this. Would not a letter from you to some leading man or men in each County, calling upon them as patriots to get the people aroused by public meetings &c have a good influence. It will require some extra exertion for Illinois to raise her quota of the 30000 without drafting. Yet it can be done, and you can do it. Let Illinois keep her present proud position in this contest. But I do not write to advise you on matters that you comprehend better than I,---but to inquire if I could get a Majors commission. I have no military experience. But think that after one month I could satisfy all. And if assured a place that could support my large family, so that I could devote the time, I could do as much as anyone in raising troops in this County. And if any attention is paid to localities the County is entitled to something of <hr /> of the kind for I believe she has nothing higher than a captaincy though she has raised over 500 men. But if the way is not clear for the above, what would you think, of a brigade quartermaster or commissary. Owing to the conditions of my family and financial affairs, I had not felt called upon to enter personally into the service, but it is now different. And if you think I could be of any use anywhere please let me hear from you soon Yours Truly A. J. Cropsey <hr /> Ans.

Rome, Ill, Jefferson Co May 3rd/62 Gov Yates Dr Sir You will perhaps think me presumptive in thrusting myself on your precious time, but you will please give me a hearing. You are aware perhaps that Jefferson County is in the main, strong Secesh, and our small village, Rome is ruled by traitors and sent 7 or 8 men to the Rebel Army some 8 or 9 months ago, and one of those, worse than Southern traitors, was wounded & taken prisoner by our men at Pittsburgh & is now in St Louis, his friends from here have visited him & are about getting him home on parole, and we are not going to have it so, we say he shall not live here any more, and have told them we will hang him most assuredly if he comes, but they are strong & we are weak, our men are nearly <hr /> all in the army, and they have organized all the Knights of the Golden Circle into Companies & are well armed & prepared to fight for R.W. Carpenter when he is brought home. Day before yesterday they sent a man around to tell us that we should not even talk any more against him or make any threats against him or the traitorous cause, or our blood would be shed & our houses burned, that they were prepared at a moments warning to kill every Lincoln Abolitionist, and have been instructed in every form by them, had to listen to their treason& no way to help ourselves. They all claim to be union men every one of them, but all belong to the H.G.C. and hurrah for Jeff Davis, & do everything against the Union Cause & Union Soldiers, the school teachers even taught the little children that Jeff Davis was the present president & encouraged them to write compositions against our flag the immortal Stars & Strips. We have applied to the Military Authorities time and again but they don't heed such things <hr /> I wish you would help us if possible, send a man, shrewd & trusty to Rome & let him pretend to be Secesh <pre>& he can so get inside their organizations & d out things You would not believe were I to tell you, & then do have them arrested & compelled to quit talking treason. Just to think our boys are in the army, deprived of all comforts & giving their lives even to protect those same traitors not in the south but here at home in our own free beloved State the home of the brave Illinois troops, I will give you the names of some of the meanest traitors at Rome, Doctor Lakin John Cross, Jo Slanitstein (Frenchman) William Carpenter, Henry Caldwell, Saml Caldwell Lige Harmon, William McConnell & Many others too in significant to mention, Dr. Lakins son is all right, seen off & joined our army & his father denies him shelter under his roof. I do not want any one to know I wrote this or we would be burned out before morning but I will refer you </pre> <hr /> to good loyal men to prove there assertions, Citizens of Rome , Doctor Jones Hiram Milburn, James [Lenity?] , and John Maxfield, but do send a Spy please Some of the Union ladies of Rome have sent into Marion County for Revolvers to defend themselves but cannot obtain them yet. I have seen & heard so much of your kindness to our brave soldiers & your strong love for our good cause that I thought surely you would not suffer traitors to rule in any portion of the state over which you are Governor, and I made face enough to tell you thinking if I could do no good thereby it surely would do no harm as my letter does not require a reply Yours very respectfully Mrs Kate Andrews Write that this letter did not come to my notice till to day - that the patriotic spirit she manifests is admirable - but hope that all is now quiet in The "Eternal City" and then send this letter to Hon D.L.

Paris Ills. May 20th 1862 His Excelency, Govr Yates Springfield Ills. My Dear Sir - Having a good chance of sending this by private [hand?], I avail myself of the opportunity. In your last letter, you say "there will be a call session of the Legislature" Now, from the stand point I occupy, I cannot see that we are to gain anything by the Convening, unless it be that this Great Lo.co." Koran" should be adopted. Then & in that event the legislature might redistrict the State, for Congress &c & by that means, elect our men to the next Congress! But is there a majority yet in both branches? One thing I would suggest, which is this, In the Proclamation Convening the legislature, would it not be well to leave out the subject of the State assuming any portion of the direct tax. The opposition party are down on this tax, & in the event they do adopt this "Koran" Let them take the responsibility & not us, for should it be adopted (& I fear it will) they will make a H--l of a dash & Rush to fill all the places made vacant by it. But we intend to contest that point with them, and the feeling on my side of the State <hr /> is, that we will beat them with the present incumbents for state office & in this there is many democrats that will help us. The Fathers & bros of many of the sick & wounded Soldiers will never forget or forsake Gov. Yates in a contest for the position you now hold & that has been so satisfactorily filled by you. I hope this "Koran" may not be adopted, we are doing all we can against it but the party is directed to go for it. Our men are a unit [to?] it together with some Lo.cos. ? Cant you find some place that you can place our friend Capt. T. J. Buntain - he is a Democrat - but O, God - what a Union Man, he is a terror to "secesh" in this place Now if you can make him a Lieut Co some place or qr. masters assistant, or some position above a private, that will be satisfactory he has a hard time with his bro. Lo.co. they know he has made some efforts in that line, & they taunt him by saying that he is sold &c I my former letter I said he was a man of no Education This was to broad. what I should have said, he was not finely educated I take occasion to say now that he has a plain old fashioned education, & writes a fair hand & good in Old Pikes arithmetic. Now if you can put him some such place as I indicated, You will do us a great favor & never have cause to regret the step. <hr /> I will press the matter, any more knowing that if you can you will fix him up. My prospects appear to be good in Washington, and is only delayed by the failure of not yet passing the bill in the Senate. I am assured by those that are there that the Coast is still Clear & as soon as the Bill is passed the appt will be made. I am waiting like patience as a monument. I am not of the right temperment to watch a place of this kind. I am to anxious always to have decisions at once. I cannot rest easy under delays.

To his Exelency Gov. Yates Springfield Illinois Dear Sir, I noticed an article in the Register last evening, in reference to a trip to Pittsburg Landing; to bring off the sick and wounded soldiers belonging to the state of Illinois. I could not help seeing, that it referred to the trip, you were kind enough to indulge me in going along; as nurse, and also in the hope of finding my sons (who are in the U.S service & one of which I know was there during that battle) I should consider myself an ungrateful wretch, after all the kindness you extended to us, & all the pleasures you sacrificed for the benefit, and comfort of those on board, I mean (the sick wounded and lowly in position) <hr /> if I could calmly read that article, and withhold my testimony to the contrary. Who among that party could have witnessed the dignified bearing and unassumed modest deportment of Mrs Major Reynolds, and be so jealous and envious of the commission she so worthily obtained, and utter such base falsehood and calumny, ought to be branded as cowards, and traitors, I had never either seen or heard of her previous to her coming on the boat; but I saw in her much to admire, and nothing to be condemned; by the most fastidious eye; I was but a silent spectator of everything on board the boat, except so far as my duties as volunteer nurse may be considered; with no expectations, nor aspirations, higher than the desire to prove my loyalty to my country and set an example that would encourage my sons to do their duty disinteredly and honorably, therefore, I saw through eyes <hr /> undimmed by the green eyed monster and no matter what the consequences are to myself would refute every word of the base calumny against all the party. I well recollect that some of us were asked to go on board another boat to care for those on board but we were so few that I thought we should be needed where we were and refused to go (I think you never knew of this circumstance) but these circumstances connected with that request and the person who made it that would not add to the lustre of the character it would represent but of which I deemed it prudent not to speak until the newspaper article again brought it to mind and knowing which I would not have gone on board that boat even if I had been obliged to get home as best I could since my return here I have had much of this kind of talk <hr /> thrown into my face by persons who pretend to hold position but who are not worthy to tie the shoe strings of your honor heretofore I have been one of the opposite party to yourself and confess that calumniators had prejudiced me against you but your disinterested kindness and the real feeling I saw you show for the poor suffering of our humiliated countrymen inspired me with the highest respect and gratitude for yourself and those who aid you at the commencement of the war myself and friends laid aside party spirit and contend for loyalty to the old flag I taught my son that I adhere to it still I believe I have served faithfully and had it not been disinterestedly might have made a great display of some services which I have rendered for many times I have risked my own life to aid loyalty and can bring the evidence from persons now holding high positions in Government affairs I am well aware that my position in life is too lowly for my testimony to have influence and that the publication of such testimony might make matters worse instead of better but it may not be amiss for you to know that I am grateful for favors while <hr /> I would scorn cringing to obtain them and that no bribe nor persuasion can cause me to by word or action to give credence to such base highhanded falsehood as that article contains & woman as I am I would scorn a policy and party that must resort to such means to maintain itself. I cannot be supposed to be influenced by any motives but those of honor and the highest respect for yourself and those who you saw fit to favor with your company at that time) as my sons are too young to hold office and my self am not in a position to excite either their jealousy or envy neither is it to gain publicity but to show your honor that one at least will not endorse one of the base falsehoods published against you in that article I gave myself my friends and <hr /> all I have to loyaly maintain the old constitution and the old flag while I have life and strenght and I will become an outcast in society and despise the honors I might otherwise obtain and teach my sons so if that society cannot embrace a code more honorable than the one contained in the article published in the Register and said to be copied from that respectable paper the world will your honor excuse me and read this as a tribute of gratitude and the highest respect and believe me Ever Your Respectful & obedient Servant Mrs Parthenia Hall Springfield May 25 1862 Mrs P Hall Springfield May 25th 1862 Status The current transcription status of a document or a page.
