&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My Dear Sir,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We have had some talk here to-day among men of all parties in relation to the necessity for the immediate occupation of Cairo by the forces of the State of Illinois, to keep it out of the hands of the traitors.  It is the most important military position in the West.  Look in the map: It extends further into the Slave States than any other point in the North.  It commands the
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;commerce of the upper Mississippi and of the Ohio, and through the latter of all the rivers upon which the commerce of Kentucky depends.  The levee is a fortification in itself; and 500 men there, in among that population, can play the devil if they are hostile.  Let them arm the bridges on the Ills. Cent. for 40 miles up, and an army and the expenditure of half a million of dollars would hardly dislodge them.  You get the importance of hold-
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;ing the place. Kentucky will go out, Louisville even now is full of organized secessionists and I shall not be surprised any day to hear that they have Cairo in their keeping.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now for the means  You can have a company from Chicago--probably the artillery.  You could send one from Springfield, probably one from Alton; there is one ready at 
Neoga (Cumberland Co.) and others are at your service in a days notice.  You 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;got guns enough, including eight [pieces?] of artillery under your hand.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Let me beg you to give this matter your earnest attention  you may be sure that you will not be an hour too soon, no matter how expeditiously you move.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yours for the Cause,

Hon Richd. Yates
Governor &amp;amp;c
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My Dear Sir;-My Democratic friend, J. D. Vangham Esq., of this city, wants a place in the staff of one of our new Illinois regiments. He is a Kentuckian, a Democrat, but a loyal man and a clever fellow. Will you allow me to entreat you to do for him all you can to forward his wishes. I take great pleasure in assuring you that his duties, 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;if he should get an appointment would be faithfully and honorably discharged. I have great faith in his integrity and fitness; and I am particularly desirous that as a leading man of the Democracy in this city, he should be remembered.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yours Very Truly
C. H. Ray
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Dr Ray as to Adjutant

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In a conversation that I had with A. H. Dolton (one of our representatives) last week about the office of U. S. Senator, he said he did not know whether he should vote you or not. I was much surprised at this, as I had heard him say last Fall (during the campaign) that he should vote for you if he was elected.  Some one must be at work with him against you.  Who can it be?
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I think you had better write him a letter, as he would consider it a great compliment to receive a letter from you.  I think he can be made all right.  At all events I hope so.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yours Respectfully Charles H Reed States Atty.

My Dear Sir
Your favor of the 14th has been forwarded to me from Illinois, and I reply at once as far as I am able to do so from recollection -

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;These names embrace the most active of our party politically in our county.  A few men, as you know, in every county generally manage things as they wish.
There has been some stir in the 7th district with regard to the attempted removal of Mr. Rives of Paris the present assessor.  He and his deputies give good satisfaction in the Northern portion of the district and his removal would be injudicious at this time.  I understand our member Mr. Bromwell has been laboring for his removal, but very injudiciously for himself, as Mr.  Rives with his deputies wields no inconsiderable political influence in the district.  I have no interest in the matter only to keep peace in the family, and trust if you are solicited to do something in the matter, that you will agree with me that it will be better to let Mr. Rives stay where he is.
With sentiments of high regard I remain

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I duly received your note of last week with package of your Chicago Speech. In reply, allow me to say, that I am not unmindful of the wisdom and energy which you have manifested in the discharge of the perplexing duties of the Executive office, and which have contributed so much to secure the noble position which Illinois now occupies beside her sister states.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I think you have fairly earned the Sentatorship, and so far as any vote of mine in the coming Legislature, can contribute to the consummation of such a result, it will be freely given. Hoping that hereafter I may have the pleasure of a personal acquaintance, I have the honor to remain
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your Ob't. Serv't.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Chas. H. Wood

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Has received your Chicago speech, will distribute. The success of the state is greatly due to your exertions, and he wants you to be elected U S. S - and if his vote will do any good he intends to give it for you
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dr. Sir:
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I understand that George S.  Bangs, of Aurora, is an applicant for the office of Marshal of the District of Columbia.  I have known Mr. Bangs for a long time, and am gratified to hear that you are friendly to his appointment.  He would make a good officer, and I think his appointment would be popular in the State.  At his request, I have written to Senator Howe, of Wisconsin, on his behalf, and suggested to him an interview with you on the subject. If you succeed in securing the appointment for Mr. Bangs, I will sustain it unreservedly in the Whig and Republican.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yours truly,
