Des Moines, Iowa, 4th September 1863 Personal His Excellency, A. Lincoln Dear Sir[,] The enclosed personal letter from Major General [Richard James] Oglesby has been placed in my hands to forward to you. I respectfully ask your personal attention to the other military papers in the case. General Grant has publicly stated that he had placed General [Grenville] Dodge first in his recommendation for promotion. It has also been stated by an army officer that General Grant had placed an official record that to General Dodge more than to any other one man he was indebted for his successful seige [sic] of Vicksburg. He had a partial education at a military academy, which he has since perfected in the field and greatly desires a place in the regular service for his permanent profession. I mention this in case it should seem right to you to nominate him a Brigadier in that service. Allow me to add that in this state your Springfield letter, just published, is calculated to produce an excellent effect, and will aid us in our state canvass now vigorously prosecuted. We entertain no doubts of our success. I have the honor to be Your friend and ob[edien]t s[er]v[an]t[,] John A. Kasson Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections. For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/.

Hawkins Taylor, Esq Springfield, Ills. April 21, 1860 My dear Sir: Yours of the 15th is just received. It surprises me that you have written twice, without receiving an answer. I have answered all I ever received from you; and certainly one since my return from the East. Opinions here, as to the prospect of Douglas being nominated [as the Democratic presidential nominee], are quite conflicting--some very confident he _will_ [italics], and others that he will _not_ [italics] be. I think his nomination possible; but that the chances are against him. I am glad there is a prospect of your party passing this way to Chicago. Wishing to make your visit here as pleasant as we can, we wish you to notify us as soon as possible, whether you come this way, how many, and when you will arrive. Yours very truly A.
