The army forms were familiar to me and I could direct how they should be made out.

There was a clerk in the office of the Adjutant-General who supplied my deficiencies.

The ease with which the State of Illinois settled its accounts with the government at the close of the war is evidence of the efficiency of Mr.Loomis as an accountant on a large scale.

He remained in the office until that time.
As I have stated, the legislature authorized the governor to accept the services of ten additional regiments.

I had charge of mustering these regiments into the State service.
