Quincy Ills. 23 Aug. 1861
Governor Yates
Springfield Ills
Dear Sir: I am for the present compelled to remain at home and out of service. I regret very much that I must therefor decline the tender made so kindly to me by you of the position of Colonel of a Regiment of Infantry.
I hope the time will come when if this most infamous rebellion is not as I hope it will be soon suppressed, I will be able to render to my country the service that every true
man owes to his flag.
Very respectfully Yours
Jackson Grimshaw
