Quincey Hull to Richard Yates

To his excellence Richard Yates, Gov Sir I beg leave to bring to your notice the fact that your excelence promised to my brother Milton Hull of co. F 14 regim I.ll. vol. if it was in your power to do him any good you would do it now I think is the time he has been through as hard a battle as any of them and with the recommendations you already have I think you would doin justice if you give him a first or second Lieutenantcy. I take the liberty to say this on my own account as he will not be persuaded to say any thing to you about it he says he does not want to bother you that if your thought

the recommendations suficient you would give him what he desired if you did not forget it presuming that you are bothered a great deal I will close after calling your excelences attention to the dirty little sheet that is printed in Jerseyville by the name of Democratic Union This is a strong secesh county after the troops have left if you will lend us aid if called on the unionist will tare it down

your obedient severant
