&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hon Jesse K. Dubois
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I address you as an old personal, as well as in former years, a political friend of my father's (James McDowell Mount Carmel Ills) asking you if in your power to procure for me a position in the Cavalry Regiment just being formed in this state for service during the present war.  I enlisted in the Cavalry Company, from this county with the expectation and promise of being 2nd [Beret?] Lieutenant, but there being so such officer, I was going as a private, but to this my friends were so much opposed that I reluctantly abandoned it, only the day before it recieved marching orders.  However if I can go in some official capacity, they will have no objection to my going, and I will achieve the object I most ardently desire, that of taking part and parcel in this fight.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As regards my moral character qualifications &amp;amp;c I refer to the enclosed letter of Mr Whiting (a warm personal and political friend of yours) with whom I have been reading Law for about a year and a half.  If time permitted I could also procure
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;testimonials of a similar character from citizens of Wabash County who have known me from infancy up, and with whom you are personally aquainted.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If I can suceed in getting the aid of your attention and influence (without trespassing too much on your time) in procuring for me a commission as a Lieutenant in one of the companies, or a position of any kind in the Regiment or in any of the infantry Regiments, I care not what it is, so I can get to go to the war, I will ever remain gratefully and truly 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;yours
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Charles E. McDowell
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;testimonials of a similar character from citizens of Wabash County who have known me from infancy up, and with whom you are personally aquainted.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If I can suceed in getting the aid of your attention and influence (without trespassing too much on your time) in procuring for me a commission as a Lieutenant in one of the companies, or a position of any kind in the Regiment or in any of the infantry Regiments, I care not what it is, so I can get to go to the war, I will ever remain gratefully and truly 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;yours
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Charles E. McDowell

                  <text>&lt;p&gt;The first classes at the McCormick Theological Seminary took place in a log cabin in Indiana in 1829. During the Civil War the school relocated to Chicago's Lincoln Park neighborhood. In 1859 Chicago entrepreneur and Presbyterian layman Cyrus H. McCormick and his wife, Nettie Fowler McCormick, became the seminary's major financial patrons. The relationship between the McCormick family and the school remained well into the twentieth century.&amp;nbsp;Shortly after McCormick&amp;rsquo;s death in 1884, the school was renamed McCormick Theological Seminary. Several campus buildings are named for McCormick family members including McCormick Hall, Fowler Hall, and Virginia Library. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s assassination in 1968, seminary faculty and students were active in the civil rights movement and provided assistance to displaced and injured participants. The seminary relocated to Chicago's Hyde Park neighborhood in 1975.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The photographs in this collection include portraits of the McCormick Theological Seminary Class of 1896, school professors, and campus buildings.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

                  <text>Governor Henry Horner (1933-1940) was elected in 1932 and reelected in 1936; however, he died in office during the third year of his second term. Horner was committed to cleaning up corruption in the Chicago-run Democratic Party machine. An expert on Abraham Lincoln, Horner was an avid collector of Lincoln artifacts and papers. His huge collection of Lincolniana became the foundation of the Illinois State Historical Library and its successor institution, the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library. Governor Horner also holds the honor of being Illinois's first Jewish governor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Items in this collection include portraits of Governor Horner, images from President Franklin D. Roosevelt visiting Chicago, and several pictures of the 1937 Ohio River Flood.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The finding aid for the Henry Horner Papers at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum may be found at&amp;nbsp;http://alplm-cdi.com/chroniclingillinois/items/show/295.</text>

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your Obt Servant
