D. K. Greene to Richard Yates

Salem Ill

May 26 1861

Gov. R. Yates

Dear Sir

There was quite a mistake made in regard to my Company I thought it was well understood when I was at Springfield that I had a company of my own and myself the Capt. and that It was accepted not however By you but by [Parmer?] Marcial and others having that thing in char

ge. Yet the redgement was Made up and I was left out why I do not know. Hence I did make any effort for a redgeamental position.

But I should like some position in the Cervice if you have one which you think I would fill Satisfactorly to yourself, and the rest of Mankind.

Should like the appointment of Pay Master - as you suggested to me whilst at Springfield

We have fourced the Egyptian Democry to Deal in for the Union but it is quite a forced [illegible] with many

Yours Most

Respectfuly

D. K. Green

Dr D. K. Greene
